5A's Project
Human Body Systems Project
1. Choose one of the following six human body systems we have learned about:
· The Nervous System
· The Circulatory System
· The Respiratory System
· The Digestive System
· The Muscular System
· The Skeletal System
2. Your task is to make a 3-D model of one of these systems and make a presentation about it to the class.
-Your model can be functioning or not
-Your model can be made out of clay, dry food, household objects, etc.
-Be creative!!!
-You must label the following major organs of each system:
· The Nervous System-brain, nerves, spinal cord
· The Circulatory System-heart, arteries, veins, pulmonary artery, capillaries
· The Respiratory System-mouth, nose, trachea, lungs
· The Digestive System-mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine
· The Muscular System-triceps, biceps, abdominals, quadriceps, hamstring
· The Skeletal System-skull, sternum humerous, ulna, radius, phalanges, rib cage, spine, pelvis, femur, patella, fibula, tibia
3. Create a presentation needs to be approximately 3 minutes in length. Your presentation needs to include:
1. The body system you chose
2. Why you chose it
3. The major processes the body system does
4. The functions of each of the major organs (why they are each important)
5. Five interesting facts about that system
6. Ways we can keep the body system healthy
7. Creativity-Think about how you can present your information in a creative way:
infomercial, news report, using technology, etc.
4. Use your notes, handouts, books, home research, etc. to help you do your best work on this project.
