From Miss Hilt:
"In Anatomy, students worked in groups to construct a 3-D model of an organ of their choice. They then had to present their model to the class and explain the parts of the organ and the functions it has in the body. One group constructed a stomach model and one group constructed a brain! They turned out great!"
From Miss Hilt:
