Human body Labeling game by sciencenetlinks – preview and review game for students to do individually
Purpose of game: Help Arnold find his organs from 4 body systems (digestive, muscular, skeletal, circulatory systems).
How to play: When you hit the Play button, the name of an organ system will appear at the bottom of the screen. Your
job is to get all of the organs that belong in that system into the body. But be careful! If you drag in an organ that
doesn’t belong, all the organs pop out, and you have to start over! Try to complete the four body systems as fast as you
can!

Last Lesson- Q&A about the Human Body – show students common questions about the human body that are
