An In-Class Assignment on the Human Body

Your Assignment:

Research your topic today in class and put together a 3 to 4 minute powerpoint presentation on your organ/system that you will share with the class tomorrow.....

Ready. Set. Go!

This is a VERY broad assignment, but you need to use time both effectively and efficiently. 

NO DISTRACTIONS!  

Focus your research on information found on this website: http://science.nationalgeographic.com/science/health-and-human-body/human-body/

Images can be taken from others places, though.

Your presentation should provide others in the class with an overview of your topic.  Assume your audience knows nothing. Make sure to keep it interesting!

Topics you might want to include in your summary are:

·      Main functions of your system/organ

·      Explanation of your systems anatomy (visual aids will be helpful!)

·      Interesting facts on your topic

·      External factors that can affect the function of your organ/system

·      Diseases that can effect your organ

·      Development of your organ/system (are you born with it fully developed? Is it continuously changing growing??)

·      Fun/interesting facts
