Introduction :
The Human Body is a complex system whose parts all work together to keep the body healthy. You are going to learn
how the digestive and respiratory systems work together to provide the body the fuel and energy needed to learn new
things, play basketball and soccer, walk, talk, and do all the things necessary to live.
Tasks :
You are going to research two different body systems:
1. The Respiratory System
2. The Digestive System
Source: Modified assignment from - http://www.science-class.net/Lessons/body_webquest.htm
You will use the information that you learn during your research to create 2 different FLOWCHARTS .
Reference materials are provided for your use in the classroom.
Internet resources are posted on this page.
You may use drawing paper or MS Word to make the flowchart.
You will find specific instructions for each flow chart below.
You will also explain how the two systems work together.
You may write a brief paragraph or draw or make a graphic organizer for your explanation.
THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
Flowchart - show the pathway of an apple from the time it enters the body to the time it leaves the body.
Include the accessory digestive organs - those organs that food does not actually pass through, but are part of digestion
nonetheless.
Identify the function of each part of the system as part of the flowchart.
Resources for Researching the Digestive System:
You may use Science textbook, encyclopedias, other reference books or the Internet with information you need.
Good links for each body system are provided in each section.

THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
Flowchart - Part 1 -- show the pathway of a molecule of O 2 from the time it enters the body to the time it enters the blood
stream to the time it is used by a body cell for cellular respiration.
Part 2 - show the pathway of a molecule of CO 2 from the time it is given off by a body cell during cellular respiration until
the time it leaves the body.
Identify the function of each part of the system as part of the flowchart.
