Step 4: Prepare
Step 5: Present
Do Now
This project will allow you to apply your knowledge of cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and the human body as a whole. Let’s review.
Describe the relationship between cells and tissues.
Describe the relationship between tissues and organs.
Describe the relationship between organs and organ systems. Choose one organ system to provide examples.
Choose two organ systems. Describe how they interact to help you live.

3. Step 1: Need to Knows Human Body 2.0 Human Body #8:
Introduction to task
Have you seen an athlete fall to the ground with a dislocated knee? Do you know someone who has diabetes? Wouldn’t you rather never throw up again?
The human body is one of the best machines in the world, but it sure has some flaws. If you were in CHARGE OF EVERYTHING, how would you make a better human body… a Human Body 2.0?
Your task:
In a small group, you will
research problems that can occur in body systems
identify three organs or body systems that you’d like to improve
think scientifically about how to best make those improvements
create a visual presentation & a writeup to communicate your design
How would you redesign the human body in order to make it more efficient, stronger, and longer-lasting?
Driving Question:
Objective: Scientists will be able to develop a “need to know” for a project

4. Step 2: Review Human Body 2.0 Human Body #8: Review Chart
Create a review chart about each organ system
Problems
List diseases, disorders, or malfunctions of each organ
Objective: Scientists will be able to describe the form and function of all body systems

5. Step 3: Design Human Body 2.0 Human Body #8:
Select 3 organs or body systems and propose redesigns. Example of brainstormed Human Body 2.0 redesign:
Teacher Grade for 3 Redesign Charts:
__ 4 (Advanced): Your scientific thinking is completely correct.
__ 3 (Proficient): Your scientific thinking is mostly correct.
__ 2 (Developing): Your scientific thinking is partly correct.
__ 1 (Beginning): Your scientific thinking is incorrect.
Objective: Scientists will be able to analyze problems in the human body and propose improvements

6. Step 3: Design Human Body 2.0 Human Body #8: Cause and Effect Charts
Choose your best three redesigns out of all 3 charts. For each one, describe 3 effects on the rest of the body.
Will other organs have to move?
Will other systems find it harder or easier to function?
Will some body parts or organs not be necessary anymore?
Teacher Grade for 3 Cause and Effect Charts:
__ 4 (Advanced): Your scientific thinking is completely correct.
__ 3 (Proficient): Your scientific thinking is mostly correct.
__ 2 (Developing): Your scientific thinking is partly correct.
__ 1 (Beginning): Your scientific thinking is incorrect.
Objective: Scientists will be able to analyze problems in the human body and propose improvements

7. Step 4: Write Human Body 2.0 Human Body #8: Written Analysis:
For each Body System Redesign, write at least 6 sentences (1-2 paragraphs) and answer the prompts fully. Then check spelling and capitalization!
Describe the current structure and function of the organ system or body part.
Describe your solution to improve the organ system.
Defend why you want to make this redesign.
Explain the impact on other body systems or organs (one to three).
Persuade that your redesign improves the human body and the future of society.
Who will be responsible for writing up answers to the prompts?
Objective: Scientists will be able to defend their solutions in a written analysis

8. Step 4: Write Human Body 2.0 Human Body #8: C...Capitalization
First word in all sentences
Proper nouns
O…Organization
No run-on sentences or sentence fragments
Combine simple sentences into longer ones
A variety of sentence structures (not all starting with the same word)
Powerful verbs, specific nouns, colorful adjectives
Title/heading
Author
P…Punctuation
 Periods, question marks, or exclamation points at the end of sentences
Commas for pauses or lists
Quotation marks
S…Spelling
Spell check on the computer
Correct use to two/to/too
Correct use of your/you’re
Correct use of there/their/they’re
Peer Editing

I then revised these things:
I met with a teacher for a final conference.
Teacher initials:
Objective: Scientists will be able to defend their solutions in a written analysis

9. Step 5: Prepare Human Body 2.0 Human Body #8: Format of Presentation?
Decide with your group how you will present your thinking.
Format of Presentation?
Giant mind map with key concepts and visuals
Trifold board with labeled sections
Life-size tracing of a body with organs labeled
Prezi (no PowerPoints for this project!)
Video (GoAnimate, TV talk show, interviews with Humans 2.0 detailing how their lives are better…)
Build or adapt a 3D model
Fiction (a day in the life of this new human; a world in which everybody is 2.0-improved)
Objective: Scientists will be able to determine best format for organizing information

10. Step 5: Present Human Body 2.0 Human Body #8:
Practice: Who is presenting each part, or are you all speaking together? Practice at least 5 times all together so that you are very confident and can answer questions.
Present:
Classroom Exhibition
3 rounds of science-fair style: Use the rubric to assess other projects. Which one will you vote for the best Human Body 2.0 redesign in this class?
Objective: Scientists will be able to present information clearly and accurately
