Body Systems Final Project

The Task!

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)

 

Muscular System

 

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!
