Seventh Grade Week 11

This week we begin our unit on the Human Body. As we go through this entire unit, add to, redo, edit your Human Body Notebook 10 projects. Send it to hoopmanscience@gmail.com.

What are the organ systems of the human body?
What do they do?
How do they interact with each other?

Contracts for this week focus on these questions.

We have been doing a lot to research organ sysmtems beyond the information in the book. In fact we have done that with most topics this year. How do we know that the information we find is reliable, understandable, appropriate for the discussion? Fill in the form below to create a Google doc spreadsheet of site we deem the best.

Do hormones help you grow

John said...

Kathryn,

What can bony animals do that soft bodied animals can't do, or at least can't do so well?

Things we have evolved to help us do certain tasks.

If they don't give an advantage, or worse, they aren't usually passed on. Usually.
