Part 4: Fun Facts
Find 5 facts about your body system or its parts.
Each team will also be provided with a Body System Checklist of important terms or items that must be included in the presentation. Teams may use their health textbooks, reference materials, or online resources to research their organ system.
Teams will be allowed five to seven class periods to create a Power Point presentation and fill-in-the-blank worksheet with a diagram of your system.
