making a model of a human body at the end of this unit. You will be
responsible for adding your body system to your group’s model. Start
thinking of things you might find at home to represent each organ.
Examples: string, tubes, buttons, balloons, beans, etc. I have photos of
past projects that you may look at to get ideas.
