Body+Systems

=Body System Projects=

Students were asked to work in groups of 2-4 students to create a high quality handout and presentation on a selected body system. They were to use their summer assignments, textbook, and reliable internet sources to develop handouts and presentations that include a title of the system, an overall description of the system's function, a diagram of the system, a list of the parts of the system, the function of each part, how the system differs throughout simple and complex organisms, and a generalized comparison of the system's structure for humans, perch, grassfrogs, crayfish, locust, and earthworms. The presentation should be in outline form with supporting images inserted where appropriate. Narration could be added to the final product, walking the reader through the presentation outline. The finished presentations are to be attached below. A supporting handout and review should be either part of the presentation or attached to this page following the presentation. (Students were instructed to use Powerpoint, make sure all images are in jpeg format and, export their presentations to Quicktime movies)
