## Resource

Children will learn about the human nervous system, touch sensors, and how the brain's ability to predict movement stops us from tickling ourselves. Join Dr. Owl, Emma, and Ziggy as they explore the science of surprises, uncover why our skin acts as a built-in alarm system, and find out if rats can laugh!
