Human Body System Project
Each person will select one of the human body systems to research and
present to the class. Your presentation can be in one of the following
forms:
1)
A powerpoint presentation given to your classmates and your
teacher (must have at least 10 slides)
2)
A book with illustrations and written information (must be at
least 8 pages long and include a cover)
3)
A 3D model of the system along with information cards on each
component. Use index cards. Type and print the information,
then glue onto the cards.
4)
A game, such as a card game or a board game, that requires
players to use their knowledge of the system to succeed in the
game. For example, you might create a board game that requires
players to answer questions about the system in order to collect
some kind of treasure.
You must include the following items in your project:
1)
The purpose of the system – What does this system do that
makes it important for survival?
2)
The organs involved in the system. Tell the function of each
organ involved in accomplishing the overall goal of the system.

3)
Provide a labeled diagram of the system. If the system is
different in males and females, provide information and
diagrams on both genders. Do not just print something from the
internet. Make your own drawings.
4)
Identify 3 diseases or medical conditions that can affect the
system. Tell the symptoms and how the problems are treated.
5)
Identify 2 things you can do to improve the quality of the
system’s functioning. For example, exercising regularly is good
for your circulatory system.
6)
Create a quiz to give to your classmates following your
presentation. The quiz should be 5 to 8 questions long. Please use
multiple choice, matching, fill-in-the-blank, or true/false
questions.
7)
Add your questions to a class Kahoot that we will use for review.
8)
A list of references. A reference should have information about
the title of the book, article, website, etc., the author if given,
the publication date, and the URL if appropriate. You may not
use Wikipedia! Your websites should have a .edu address or be
from a well-known scientific publisher such as Science News,
National Geographic, Scientific American, etc. If you are not
sure whether your source meets the minimum requirements,
meet with your teacher to discuss it.
