All Systems Go! Project
Your task is to create a 3-D model of one of the body systems you have been learning
about in Science: circulatory, respiratory, digestive, or urinary. The purpose of the
project is for you to become an expert about one of the systems in your body that helps
keep you alive. The model must be created by you, not purchased from a store.
All parts of each system must be labeled. Along with the label, you must explain the
function of each part.
Also, you will present your project to the class.
You will be graded using a rubric for the project and a rubric for the presentation, which
will be given to you along with this hand-out. Please keep the rubrics and turn them in
when you turn in your project.
This project is to be done at home. No class time will be given to work on the project.
The project is due Monday, November 4.
You may use your textbook or other sources, such as the Internet. Just make sure you
write the information in your own words.
Checklist:
_____ 3-D Model of the body system
_____ Each part labeled; function of each part explained on label
_____ Explain in writing the job the system does for your body
_____ Information is in my own words, not copied from the sources I used

Construction materials
Appropriate
materials were
selected and
creatively modified in
ways that made
them even better.
Appropriate materials Appropriate
were selected and
materials were
there was an attempt at selected.
creative modification to
make them even
better.
Very few materials
were used and the
choice of materials
did not make sense.
Construction Care Taken
Great care taken in
construction process
so that the structure
is neat, attractive
and follows plans
accurately.
Construction was
careful and accurate
for the most part, but 12 details could have
been refined for a more
attractive product.
Construction
accurately followed
the plans, but 3-4
details could have
been refined for a
more attractive
product.
Construction
appears careless or
haphazard. Many
details need
refinement for a
strong or attractive
product.
Structure
Model contains all of
the parts of the body
system, clearly and
neatly labeled with
the function of each
part completely
defined.
Model contains all of
the parts of the body
system, labeled with
the function of each
part completely
defined.
Model contains all
but one of the parts
of the body system,
labeled with the
function of each part
defined.
Model is missing
more than one of the
parts of the body
system and/or the
function of each part
is not defined.
Size
The size of the
model allows it to be
clearly seen from
any area of the
classroom.
The size of the model
allows it to be clearly
seen from most areas
of the classroom
The size of the
model is small and
so can only be seen
from half the area of
the classroom.
The size of the
model is so small
that it can only be
seen from those in
the front of the room.
