Biology Research Project
Task : Ms. Winter wants to learn more about the many diseases & abnormalities that can occur in
humans, and how they affect various organs & systems in the body. It is your job to choose a
disease / abnormality that can occur in humans, research & learn about it, and then present
your information in a creative way. Choose a topic that truly interests you (or you have been
affected by), but be sure to do some research first to be sure you can cover all components of
this project well.
Your goals are to:
A. Research health problems related to tissues, organs & systems in humans and communicate your
findings
B. Describe the interaction of systems in the human body
C. Explain how different systems within the human body are affected (impacted) by disease /
abnormality
D. Express information and ideas in a creative and original manner
How to do it:

Choose a disease or abnormality: …………………………………..
GALLERY PIECE: Create a visual to help explain your topic


Use any material that you want (play-doh, papier maché, recycled items, etc.) to create your
piece
Be creative, colourful, & original --- use unusual materials to create your work of art
INFORMATIONAL PIECE: Explain your disease and how it affects human organs & systems

Make a brochure, a poster, a Powerpoint presentation, a scrapbook, a collection of songs, do
an oral presentation, etc. to convey your info
 background info about your disease & the systems it affects
 cool/unusual facts that make your disease / abnormality stand out from others
 name at least 2 organ systems affected by your disease
 explain how your disease impacts each organ system
 name any organs that are affected in each system you investigate

Be short, concise & specific (no full sentences or paragraphs, point form only)
Be creative & original! Make your info piece interesting and unique


All facts & info must be in your own words

Submit a reference list with your project
o title of website, URL, date of viewing or book title, author, year of publication
Feedback:
Did I start my project at least two weeks before the due date?
Did I refer to the rubric at least 5 times to complete my project?
Did I add creativity and variety for each part of the project?
