Human Body Project

Name: __________________________Organ System Chosen: _______________________

Project Due Date: ___________ Parent Signature: ________________ (I am aware of this project)

Learning Goal
I am learning how organs in the human body work and interact with each other.
Success Criteria
I will know that I am successful when I have:
 included a sketch of the system and a list of materials
 built a working model of one organ system
 clearly described how the model works in a way similar to the human body in a conference
with the teacher, using my own words not reading directly from notes.
 explained how this system works together with other parts of the body or other systems
in a conference with the teacher, using my own words
 explained one harmful thing that humans do that has a harmful effect on the body
system and one way that humans can reduce these effects (ex. smoking affects the
lungs)

Curriculum Expectations:
- design and build a model to demonstrate how organs or systems in the human body work and
interact with other components
- assess the effects of social and environmental factors on human health, and propose ways in
which individuals can reduce the harmful effects of these factors

Use your imagination to think about how common materials can be used to demonstrate your
body’s organ system. Sketch your chosen system and list the materials you will use to build your
model.

A. Once you have completed building your model organ system, write a description
explaining how the model simulates the way the human body works.

B. Write a paragraph, that you will use in your conference, to explain how other
organs/body parts work together with your system.

C. Write a paragraph to describe one harmful thing that human’s do that has a harmful
effect on the body system and one way that humans can reduce these effects.
