In preparation to study the digestive system I took out our plastic torso (affectionately named "dead Fred") and started to pull out organs in front of my students. I was trying to get to the stomach when I pulled out our largest internal organ, the liver. My students were observing while I was doing this.
The following is a real conversation in a 10th grade (may I emphasize 10th) biology class:
Me (teacher, holding the liver): Hey you guys, what's this?
Student: ooh, ooh, miss that's the thing that helps you breathe!
