Instructify

BBC presents the Science Interactive Body - a great learning device for students studying the human body and its systems. Not quite as creepy as the Bodies exhibit, this game tests users in correctly identifying and placing the pieces of the human body in the right places. Choose from Organs, Muscles, Skeleton or Nervous System, and then pick your favorite gender. A wire frame dummy acts as your Frankenstein’s monster as you rotate and drag and drop organs, tissues, and bones into their respective places. The game is a stickler for accuracy, though, and if your rotation or placement is slightly off, it won’t let you proceed until you get it right.

There are a slew of facts to accompany each organ or system, as well as hints to guide your placement. If your students are squeamish about seeing or interacting with actual guts, or if your school is too cheap to shell out for some real cadavers, then check out this interactive game to keep you informed. -JEREMY S.
