Human Body Systems Project

Here is a set of good web resources you can use to research/teach each other about the rest of the human body systems.

Link

And here is a list of the questions to keep in front of you as you are working:

1. What are the parts?
2. What do the parts do?
3. How do the parts work with other parts?
4. How does this system help the body maintain homeostasis?
5. How do diseases teach us about how the system functions normally?

Here is a link to the assignment.

Enjoy!

Making Connections Reflection - Period 9




You have spent this lab working with a partner to investigate a claim. The claim may have been about something fairly trivial, but the process you followed is exactly the one used by scientists around the world.

Now that you have completed this experiment, it is time to look back and think about what you have learned. Look over the following questions and then write a two to three-paragraph reflection that answers them. This is to be done on your own.

  • What have you learned about how scientists work and the methods they follow?
  • Why do you think this method would add to scientific knowledge?
  • What would you do differently next time in terms of how your group performed your experiment?
