Project Based Learning: Human Body Systems

Engage and involve your students into real life situations while learning 21st century skills! Allow your students to become part of an important team of scientists and achieve a mission!
In this project, students will choose to research a human body system:

- Skeletal System
- Muscular System
- Digestive System
- Respiratory System
- Circulatory System

They will join to a scientist team to become themselves experts in their body systems. They will also play an important role for their teams as medical specialists, nutritionists, athletic trainers and medical technology specialists.
In this file you will find also inquiry scaffolding notes to empower students to become critical thinkers. You will also find directions for modelling each body system throughout engaging activities.
At the end of the project, your students will have the opportunity to present their findings and models to an audience.
