Students Diagnose Body System Clues: Free Google Slides Game
High School
Turn body systems into a diagnostic challenge with a free interactive Google Slides game that gets students analyzing symptoms, weighing clues, and thinking like EMT trainees.
A patient is having trouble breathing. Another is dizzy and confused. Someone else has an injury that could point to more than one body system.
What should an EMT notice first?
Give your students the chance to figure it out with “First on Scene: What Would an EMT Do?”, a free interactive Google Slides game from Ward’s Science and We Are Teachers.
Rather than simply recalling the names and functions of body systems, students work through patient scenarios and use the information provided to determine which system is most affected. It’s an engaging way to put classroom knowledge into context while introducing students to the type of observation and critical thinking used in healthcare careers.

From body systems to patient scenarios
The game includes 10 patient cases that challenge students to connect symptoms and other clues to the most affected body system. Students discuss their reasoning, reveal the answer, and reflect on their decision.
Across the scenarios, students explore nine major body systems, including the cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, digestive, and endocrine systems.
More than memorizing body systems
Good EMT training games give students a reason to apply what they know. Our “First on Scene” asks students to identify meaningful clues, connect symptoms with body-system functions, and support their decisions with evidence.
Students can also compare their interpretations and discuss why they reached different conclusions, making the activity well suited for collaborative learning.
A fit for biology and CTE healthcare classrooms
Use the activity to introduce or review human body systems, encourage small-group discussion, or connect anatomy and physiology concepts with nursing, EMT training, and other CTE healthcare pathways. And because it’s delivered through Google Slides, setup is simple.
