Students have spent the semester studying ecosystems, biodiversity, food webs, nutrient cycling, and the impact of humans on the environment. This 3-day lesson is a culminating project designed to support students in connecting their science learning to larger global considerations. This resource includes a detailed lesson plan for 3 full class periods, debate role cards, debate role annotated bibliography with resources, and a final vote ballot.
Welcome! The "Build-a-Body" project is an engaging activity designed to teach students about human anatomy and physiology by allowing them to "construct" a human body from the inside out. As we work our way through our body systems unit, students create their own body that includes all the organs we study. On the last day of each system, students break off into groups of 2-3 students and add the latest layer of the body. The student checklist offers specific requirements for each layer, as well
This bundle includes 3 differently formatted versions of characteristics of living things doodle notes and coloring page. These sheets can be used as a resource in lab notebooks to help prepare for a test or as a coloring activity to complete after the unit quiz. Enjoy!

On the last day of each system, students break off into groups of 2-3 students and add the latest layer of the body. This assignment sheet walks you through each layer and requirement, as well as suggested sequencing. To integrate the NGSS standard on interconnecting systems, students add "connection cards" specifying how 2 systems interact throughout the project. Coming soon-
