Name:Human Body Project
This nine weeks your project will be on the human body. We have covered several systems including Digestive, Excretory, Endocrine, Muscular, Nervous, Circulatory, and Respiratory. You are now going to create a project to prove that you know ample information about the human body. For the project, you will choose ONE system to complete the project on. There must be a picture(s) of your system. You will provide ALL of the major organs and their functions. You will need to provide any major pathways that a substance moves along the system (such as food, blood, CO2, etc.). You will then need to find ONE system that your system works closely with (such as endocrine and nervous, circulatory and respiratory, etc.). You will also have to find THREE diseases that often cause complications to your system. You will have to use the internet to find some of this information, but notes can be used to find a good portion of this project. It will be due after the Mardi Gras break on Thursday Feb. 22 2018. Below is a rubric to follow to achieve an A on the project
