Research an assigned body system, create a model of one major organ in that body system and label the parts of that organ Your organ must fit into a standard shoe box The model must be sturdy. Turn this rubric in with your constructed project. Directions for achieving a high grade: 1.Construct your organ in a way that makes the organ easy to identify. 2.Label all the parts of the organ. 3.Write a description of the function of this organ. 4.Explain the purpose of the body system that contains your organ.
You will use your foldables for this activity. 1.We will count up to 10 (then start over) 2.You will move to the table with your number on it. (your expert group) 3.You will draw a body system from the box. 4.This is the body system you and your partner are experts on. 5.You will work together to complete your foldable on the body system that you are an expert on. 6.Use the posters, the class science book, my book, or the flip chart to complete the following information.
Information to include in your foldable: 1.The name of the body system 2.The major role it plays in your body 3.The major organs in the system 4.A labeled diagram of the system and its organs 5.The specific function of the body system When we are done with this,(by the end of next class) you will be returning to your home groups to present your expert information to everyone.
