Educator Resources for Guts and Bolts
It’s a dark and stormy night, and in the shadows of his garage laboratory, Moby tries to create a new friend with a combination of organic parts and re-purposed household objects. Working from Moby’s point of view, students must arrange and connect organs and systems into increasingly more complex configurations. Through the game’s 11 levels, students will make inferences and test hypotheses about the basic components and functions of the circulatory system, respiratory system, digestive system.
