BODY SYSTEMS PORTFOLIO PRESENTATION

September 2023

TASK - What am I supposed to do?
Prepare and submit a presentation/report comparing body systems of an animal of your choice and the same body systems in a human. (Ex. lion vs. human, bear vs. human, cat vs. human, whale vs. human, etc.)

STEPS- How do I do it?

1. Choose an animal. (Any animal in which you have an interest. Ex: lion, bear, cat, whale, etc.)

2. Choose 3 of the body systems from the list below:

Skeletal System Nervous System Integumentary System
Muscular System Respiratory System Endocrine System
Digestive System Excretory System Cardiovascular/circulatory System

3. Research the body systems you chose for your animal.

4. Research the same body systems for the human.

5. Compare the body systems of your chosen animal to that of humans.

6. Find 5 additional facts about your chosen animal. (Ex. general characteristics, habitat, etc.

7. Compile and report your research findings by creating a Powerpoint, Google slides presentation or
written report (Word doc, Google doc, handwritten)
(Ex. lion body systems vs. human body systems)

8. Include a list of sources at the end of your Google slides,PowerPoint, or report
Source list should include:

Title of Source

Weblink/URL for source


9. Turn in the presentation/report by uploading it to this lesson dropbox.

TASK: In this assignment, you are required to compare the body systems of an animal of your choice with those of a human. You will need to research and gather information about three body systems for both the chosen animal and humans. Additionally, you will find five additional facts about the chosen animal and compile your findings into a presentation or written report.

STEPS:

1. Choose an animal: Select the animal of your interest for comparison purposes. Some examples could be a lion, bear, cat, whale, etc.

2. Select three body systems: Choose three body systems from the given list: Skeletal System, Nervous System, Integumentary System, Muscular System, Respiratory System, Endocrine System, Digestive System, Excretory System, Cardiovascular/Circulatory System.

3. Research the chosen animal's body systems: Study and gather information about the three selected body systems in the chosen animal. Understand how they function and their role in the animal's body.

4. Research the same body systems in humans: Conduct research to learn about the corresponding body systems in humans. Compare and contrast their structures and functions with those of the chosen animal.

5. Compare the body systems: Analyze and compare the similarities and differences between the body systems of the chosen animal and humans. Consider their adaptations, features, and any unique characteristics.

6. Find five additional facts about the chosen animal: Gather interesting facts about the chosen animal relevant to its general characteristics, habitat, behavior, etc. This will add depth to your presentation or report.

7. Compile and present your research: Organize your findings into a presentation using platforms like PowerPoint or Google Slides, or create a written report in tools like Word or Google Docs. Make sure to structure your content logically and include relevant visuals to support your information.

8. Include a list of sources: At the end of your presentation or report, provide a list of sources you used for your research. Include the title of the source and the respective weblink or URL.

9. Submit your work: Upload your completed presentation or report to the designated lesson dropbox or submission platform specified by your instructor.

Remember to follow any specific instructions provided by your instructor and ensure proper formatting, citation, and professionalism in your presentation or report.
