Animal Systems Project
​26-29 October

Directions: Using the notes you created for the 8 body systems create an informational video, Prezi, VoiceThread or collaborative google presentation that includes the following for each body system:
  • Diagram of each System with labels (you can draw or copy and paste)
  • Identify the major organs and their functions for each system
  • Purpose and function of each system
  • How to keep that body system healthy for
  • Source page to list all resources you used
​
Be CREATIVE on your own or in groups of 2.
