NEW GROUP PROJECT

CELLS, TISSUES, ORGANS, AND ORGAN SYSTEMS PROJECT!

Using your Ipads, textbooks, appropriate websites, video, and iMovie put together a high quality video presentation. Your assignment is to show how the body is a system of interacting subsystems composed of groups of cells that work together to form tissues and organs that are specialized for particular body functions.

Your group's presentation should include:

1. How the body is organized beginning from individual cells all the way to the complete organism

2. The names of at least two organ systems

3. How each of the systems you selected functions

4. The names of the organs that are in the systems you selected

5. How the organ systems you selected work together to maintain homeostasis

Your group's presentation should include:

A DETAILED SCRIPT WHICH I MUST APPROVE BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO VIDEO

Pictures

Models and Demonstrations of how the body is organized and how your organ systems work together

Videos

Other visual aids to enhance your presentation

As a group, select at least two organ systems from the following organ systems:

Skeletal and Muscular Systems

Digestive System

Circulatory System

Nervous System

Respiratory System

Endocrine System

Immune System

Excretory System

Before you can begin to video your presentation you must develop a script! Listen to Professor Scarangeenie's Podcast on the importance of developing a script. Then download the script template which you should follow as you develop your script.
