Now
that you have completed the Body Systems Web Lesson and know about your body,
you have been asked to design a multimedia project that will teach other students
about their bodies. You should teach them how their body systems work, what is
needed to keep each system working well, and then persuade them to do the
things necessary to keep their bodies in top shape.
Make
sure that you cover all the basics and give enough information so that students
will be compelled to treat their bodies in the best way possible for a long and
healthy life. Your work will be scored using the Body Systems Rubric.
Check carefully to make certain you have completed every area.
Each
group will select one of the following body systems to research. Use any
materials you can find using local resources as well as the following Internet
sites.

How the Body Works - The Muscular System A number of animated pages show how
muscles work. (Requires Shockwave - takes a long time to load, but is WELL
worth the wait)
Your Gross & Cool Body - Muscular System So what do
muscles do? Muscles move cows, snakes, worms and humans. Muscles move you!
Without muscles you couldn't open your mouth, speak, shake hands, walk, talk,
or move your food through your digestive system. There would be no smiling,
blinking, breathing. You couldn't move anything inside or outside you. The fact
is, without muscles, you wouldn't be alive for very long!
