In this activity, groups of students assume the roles of human body organs. They work together to acquire the knowledge needed to develop a skit to “act out” the argument that their selected organ is the most important one in the body. The students learn and reinforce their understanding of the composition and functions of organs and organ systems and how they interrelate to allow for the survival of the body as a whole while maintaining homeostasis throughout life.
