What was the hardest part of this activity?
Which organs do you think you put in the right places?
Which organs do you think are probably in the wrong places?

1. The hardest part of the activity was trying to put the organs in the right place and how big they were.
2. I put the brain in the right place because the brain is an obvious place. Also I put the lunges in the right place because that was also easy.
3. I think the spleen and the kidney was in the wrong place because I didn't know where they were.

1. We looked at the ruler so then we knew when to catch it. Reaction time 10 inches.
2. We closed our eyes then we were told when to catch it when our partner said now then we knew when to catch it.
3. We closed our eyes and plugged our ears. Our partner would tap us when we should catch it.

1. Playing a video game in math class can be really fun. What are some of the other benefits of playing
video games to learn concepts?
2. Pretend that our school district is banning Money Island from the curriculum. Using strong examples of
what you've learned, politely fight to keep this program around! (What have you learned from Money Island?) Write a persuasive/argumentative essay that can convince them to keep it around. Organize
your thoughts before you start writing. It should follow the same format as our Human Body Research Papers.

1. Yes, A video game in math class is very fun but what would help us the most would be when we finish the game all the kids would be so happy and they would be chatting about ho fun it was and most of all what they learned. The kids would learn concepts by how the game works. for example in Money Island when I first started I didn't know anything then I got further in the game and kept learning and learning about what money is really about. Also when you go to the Elfie tower you can meet a chef that will teach you about a money pie.
