Organ Systems Summative Project

*Final Products are due your FIRST Science class back, the week of Dec 11, 2017

                            Can you describe the function of each organ system illustrated above?


-To be completed in groups of two
-The project can be completed in any format that covers all learning goals (video, presentation, board game, models, report, etc.)




-For the organ system selected:


1) Describe the structure and function of two specialized cell types (drawing or model with labels and info.)

2) Describe the structure and function of one important tissue (drawing or model with labels and info.)

3) Describe the structure and function of two key organs  (drawing or model with labels and info.)

4) Describe one disorder common to the cells, tissues or organs of this systems. Explain how it is dealt with. Treated vs. cured? (explanation / image)

5) One interesting new technology/medical advances related to this organ system (3-d printing, robotic surgery, pharmaceuticals, etc.) – (Explanation and images)

6) 8-10 "funtastic facts" not already covered

7) One experiment or “lab demo” – i.e. - model lungs

8)  General Overview of your Organ System - What is does in the body, key parts, labeled diagram


BONUS: "Mini-test"(10-20 questions) covering the function of the system, key organs, specialized cell, “disorder,” medical advances, fun facts – (multiple choice, fill-in-the-blanks with word list, matching answers, label key parts)
