Performance Task:

Pretend you are a mad scientist on Neptune. You are about to apply your knowledge of
human body systems to build an alien being and then write a scientific paper
to report your work to the scientific community. Your alien must include the following body systems with the
indicated components. The systems
in your alien, however, are not limited to those components.
-
circulatory system: heart, veins, and arteries
-
skeletal system: bones and joints
-
muscular system: muscles and tendons
-
respiratory system: nose, lungs, trachea
-
digestive system: mouth, esophagus, liver, stomach, small and large
intestines
-
central nervous system: brain, nerves, spinal cord
Be creative! Give your alien a name
if you wish.
In your model (pictorial, computer-generated, or three dimensional), the
major parts of each system must be visible. Your written scientific report must explain how they
function. Include how the different
functions are related to each other and how they depend upon each other.
