BODY+SYSTEMS+POSTER+PROJECT


 * HUMAN BODY SYSTEMS POSTER PROJECT: **

**Science 8 - Ms. Cryderman: ** Learning Outcome B3
 * 1) Identify the main components of the human organ systems
 * 2) Describe how an organ system works together to obtain and transport nutrients, remove wastes, and exchange gasses.

__Assignment: __

In groups of two, you will be responsible for producing an informational poster about one of the 10 body systems found within the human body. Over the course of **three** library sessions you will be responsible for:
 * 1) Researching and collecting the relevant information on your chosen body system
 * 2) Interpreting and organizing the data that you have collected on your chosen body system
 * 3) Typing out the information on your chosen body system
 * 4) Putting your body system poster together

The following is a list of **criteria** that outlines what information each groups' poster needs tto include: 3. A hand -done drawing of your body sytem (see pages 56 - 57 of your textbook) 4 . Other illustrations (should be both computer-generated and hand drawn)
 * 1) Title (of the body system you are presenting)
 * 2) <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">Written text:
