Students start with paddle 1, which shows a human heart beating. They then have to try and build their own heart. Paddles 2-5 each hold a part of the human heart (the left and right ventricles and the left and right atriums). The user can bring each of these parts together, explore the connections between them and discover how they fit together within their limited space. As they place them in their correct, positions reliative to eachother, the parts lock togeather, eventually forming a complete human heart. Paddle i is the information paddle - when you touch any of parts of the heart with it, it displays some interesting facts about the heart and that part is displayed in ‘X-ray’ mode, revealing the flow of blood in that part. This can also serve as a hint as to how the parts join togeather.
