    This document describes The Nephron Game, a board game that teaches players about the function of nephrons in the kidney. Players start in the glomerulus and must roll a six to enter Bowman's capsule and begin filtering through the kidney tubule. They will land on squares representing glucose, urea, salt, or water, and their movement will be determined by whether these substances are reabsorbed or not based on the player's answer to multiple choice questions. The goal is to make it to the collecting duct square, with correct answers allowing players to advance and incorrect answers sending them back to the glomerulus. The game aims to educate players about filtration and reabsorption in the nephron through an

    Instructions

    The aim of the game is to make it to the collecting duct! Everyone starts in the
    glomerulus, you need to roll a six to be filtered into the Bowmans capsule.

    When you have been filtered each player takes it in turn to roll the dice to see
    which square they will land on:

    G GLUCOSE! All the glucose is reabsorbed so you leave the kidney tubule
    and go back to the glomerulus.

    U UREA! None of the urea is reabsorbed, you get to stay in the kidney
    tubule.

    S SALT! Some of the salt is reabsorbed and some stays in the kidney
    tubule. To see where you will go, an opponent will ask you a Reabsorbed or
    not? question. If you get it right you stay in the kidney tubule if you get it
    wrong you are reabsorbed and go back to the glomerulus.

    W WATER! Some of the water is reabsorbed and some stays in the


    kidney tubule. To see where you will go, an opponent will ask you a
    Reabsorbed or not? question. If you get it right you stay in the kidney
    tubule if you get it wrong you are reabsorbed and go back to the glomerulus.

    The first person to make it to the collecting duct wins!
