Activity 2: Instructional Game. Estimated duration: 20 min

Body Quest: Multicellular Subsystems

Learn about the organ systems found within multicellular organisms by playing through six unique minigames. Each minigame lets the student actually play as the system is being explored. For example, the player will protect organs from bacteria when learning about the epithelial system by building loops of tissue. Similarly, the student will get to race around the circulatory system delivering oxygen to other organs in an educational racing minigame. Each topic is briefly introduced via text and images before taking the player to the reinforcing minigame. Each minigame can be played in any order, but only once per game session and only for a defined period of time. Progress is saved between sessions.
