Body Systems eBook Project Guide
Students will work in groups to research one of the eleven body systems as found in Holt, Rinehart, and Winston Anatomy & Physiology Textbook (2002). Research will focus on the structure and function of the major organs in the assigned body system. Each group will be responsible for creating an eBOok that includes a visual aids to be used in a presentation to the class. In addition, each individual in a group will be responsible for researching and presenting information on one disease associated with their assigned body sytem.
assigned body system.
Outcomes
• Students will be able to name the eleven human body systems and their functions.
• Students will be able to identify the organs and structural parts present in each system
(i.e. circulatory: heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries).
• Students will be able to describe the basic structure of the major organs in each system.
• Students will recognize different diseases associated with the body systems.
Requirements:
• Work in groups of 3-4 to research an assigned body system, create a visual aid- eBOOK, and
present information to the class. Information presented during the presentation will be
used to fill in a chart that will be used as a study guide for the test.
• What to research for your assigned body system:
o List and explain the functions of the organ system.
o Identify the major organs and their functions.
o Describe the basic structure of at least one major organ in assigned body system
(i.e. lungs: bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli).
o Each member must describe a disease associated with their body system.
Name of disease
Description of disease/mode of action
• Visual Aid:
o Title
o Outline of body
o Diagram of major organs in anatomically correct locations
o Labels on major organs
o Neat, easy to understand, colorful, creative
• Presentation:
o Present all required information (see above).
o Organized and easy to follow.
o All group members participate equally in the presentation.
o Spoken clearly and eye contact with audience.
