Objective​
: Your objective is to prepare an informational handout AND a poster OR 3-D
model to educate your classmates about one of the body systems that makes up the human
body. You will work by yourself and will be assigned one of the following body systems to
research:
1-Circulatory System 2-Digestive System
4- Endocrine System​ 5-​
Muscular System
7-Respiratory System 8- Skeletal System
3-Excretory System
6- Nervous System
9- Integumentary System
Part A:
Students will create an informational handout that covers the organs and functions of one
organ system of the body.
● You must include the organs, the functions of the organs & whole system, 1 disease
associated with your organ system, and 5 interesting/fun facts about your organ
system.
● The handout needs to include as much information as possible to allow classmates to
understand the system.
● The handout will be copied and given to classmates; therefore you must make it legible
and organized.
Part B (Option 1):
Students will create an outline poster of a human body and include all the organs within
one system of the body.
● Each organ will be labeled and include an explanation of its function.
● A list of cell types and tissues within one organ of the system will be identified.
● Students will plan, create, and present outline poster on the human body system to
class.
Part B (Option 2):
Students will create a 3-D model (mobile or immobile) of the human body outline and the
organs within one system of the body.
● Each organ will be labeled and include an explanation of its function.
● A list of cell types and tissues within one organ of the system will be identified.
● Students will plan, create, and present 3-D Model on the human body system to class.
Research
You may use books or websites to find the information, but you must cite ALL references
used! If you watch a video on how to make a model, you must cite that as well. The
following websites will be a good start to your research:
