This is the companion site to the Arnold interactive. This tool can be used to complement instruction on body systems and function, as well as systems in general. This activity focuses on four systems: digestive, circulatory/respiratory, skeletal, and nervous.

The "Learn More" section provides information about each of the systems used in this activity.

In this online activity, a fictional character, Arnold is missing a number of body parts. Students are presented with a body system and a variety of organs. Students drag and drop all the organs that belong in that particular body system to Arnold's body. Once all four systems are complete, a clothed Arnold will appear. Note: if students drag in an organ that doesn't belong, all the organs pop out and students have to start that system over.
