Organ Systems Foldable
• Title your project “Organ Systems”
• Title all 11 body systems on the flaps of
your foldable
• Inside the flaps, write information about
each of the body systems. Include the
basic function of the system and any major
organs of that system
• Glue or draw two pictures of each system
inside the flaps
Skeletal System
• Function: To give the
body support and
structure. Protects
major organs from
damage
• Organs: Bones and
cartilage

Body Systems Title Page
• On page 65 in your notebook, you need to
make a title page for HUMAN BODY
SYSTEMS
• Look through pages 144 – 327 to get
ideas for images to include in your title
page.
• Be sure to include questions you have
about the human body
