Organ System Group Project
Outline
In
this project you and your group will be researching information on one of the
Organ systems contained in the human body. You will be researching the organs
which make up the particular system, the function of the system, how the system
functions itself, as well along with another of the body systems. When your
group has decided which organ system they will be doing you are to let Mr. Shaw
know what it is and who has been assigned to what task.
In your group you will
have an assigned task in researching a particular aspect of the project. They
tasks are as follows:
a) Listing all of the
organs that compose the particular Organ System. This is also to include all of
the tissues that make up those organs and the cells that comprise those tissues.
b) Describing how the
organs in the system work together to allow the particular system to function
properly. As well as describing the main function or job of the system your
group has selected.
c) Research and
describe how the system your group has picked as well as one of the other organ
systems and explain how they work together in allowing a human body to function.
Your project must
include the following criteria:
A full colour poster.
This is to be done on a piece of poster board, fully colored, and labeled.
A Power Point
Presentation. When your group has completed all of the research needed, you
will be creating 1 Power Point presentation to present the results of your
research to the class. Make sure it is done in proper presentation form, (we do
not want slides that have large paragraphs on them.) It must include a title
slide listing all of the names of the people in your groups, as well as a
bibliography slide noting all sources for the information you received.
You
will receive computer lab time when it is available to work on your research.
This may also be done outside of school, through using a computer at home or
visiting your local library. Each person will have a separate assignment, so
you it is not necessary to have to be able to get together with the other people
in your group outside of class.
While
doing your research, please make sure you are using proper terminology, and when
choosing websites, books, etc, make sure that they are level appropriate, and
you understand what you are reading.
Assessment:
Most of your assessment will take
place during your presentation. You will be assessed as a group on the overall
outcome of your project and presentation. However, you will also be assessed
individually on the aspect of the project you were responsible for. You are to
hand in the information you compiled for your part of the project into Mr. Shaw
in a typed Essay.
