Who Wants to Be a Multicellular Organism?

This living quiz show is all the rage around the world...because every single human is already playing! Students become quiz show contestants, competing for fabulous prizes while gaining knowledge of the human body. But that’s not all: since everybody is playing this game, the audience (that’s your students, too!) will pump up their musculoskeletal system, tap into their heartbeat and manipulate their nervous system. It will be a lot to digest, literally – and there’s even a competition for that too!
