ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Academy figure

Academy figures are models of people, animals, or objects that are used to help teach people. They are often made out of plastic or wood and look like real people, animals, or objects. They are used in classrooms, museums, and even in movies! They're used to help explain or demonstrate something to people, so they can understand it better. For example, an academy figure of a human might be used to show how the muscles and organs work in the body.
