Quiz Each Other/20 Questions: Students can quiz each other trying to guess/find out the correct component.
Solo Recall
Labeling Exercise: All students try to label the parts using the keywords they have learned.
Crossword Puzzle: Create crosswords and the clues based on the functions of each component to help remember the terminology and functions.
