      Hi Cradle,

      an interesting question but i might need a little more information from you to answer it the right way.
      an organ can be a musical instrument normally found in a church. But that’s not very scientific so i think that you are maybe thinking about the organs that you and I have in our bodies.

      An organ is actually a collection of ‘bits’ of us that have a common purpose. So that might be something like your heart which pumps blood around our bodies and is made up of different parts, our lungs in which all the bits work together to allow us to breathe.

      I hope that helps but if you want to know anything else just ask. Do you know what my job is?
