Human Body Systems Presentations

Purpose:How the human body systems:

1.Work to maintain homeostasis(understand feedback control mechanisms involved in each body system)

2.Work from the molecular level to tissue> organs and organism level

3.Evolved from more primitive systems

4.Include structures that relate to functions

Requirements:

Part One:

A. Create a PowerPoint presentation in which these questions are addressed about your body system: (Look in the box below for further information)

1. Describe the evolutionary development of this system from simple to complex organisms.

2. Why is this body system necessary?

3. Describe and elaborate the structures and functions of the system focusing on humans.

4. Provide labeled diagrams in the PP of the major structures of the system.

5. Explain the interdependence of this system with other body systems.

6. Describe at least 1 disease/disorder of the system.

Your Powerpoint should follow these rules:

-Include a video (downloaded before presenting)

-Follow the 5 X 5 rule

-Be visually stimulating, 28 point font minimum, and easy to read

-Be interactive with the audience.

-All group members should be heard!

Part Two:

B. Create a model of the system assigned to you. This model should be life-like in representation. Please do not use food products in making your model.

Part Three:

C. Find a picture of your system with all parts labeled. Print the picture. Then, copy the picture and distribute to each student before your presentation. Make reference to the picture during your presentation.

Part Four:

D. Create an interactive notes page for students of the class. The notes page could be in an outline form or question form….however you want!You will need to make copies of your outline to distribute to the classbefore class. Make sure that you provide enough detail so that your classmates will have a study aid for the AP test.
