Grade 7
Science: Human Body Systems Wiki
Texas
Essential Knowledge and Skills:
Science:
(12) Organisms and
environments. The student knows that living systems at all levels of
organization demonstrate the complementary nature of structure and function.
The student is expected to:
(B) identify the main
functions of the systems of the human organism, including the circulatory,
respiratory, skeletal, muscular, digestive, excretory, reproductive,
integumentary, nervous, and endocrine systems;
(C) recognize levels
of organization in plants and animals, including cells, tissues, organs, organ
systems, and organisms
Technology:
(7) Solving problems.
The student uses appropriate computer-based productivity tools to create and
modify solutions to problems. The student is expected to:
(D) demonstrate
proficiency in the use of multimedia authoring programs by creating linear or
non-linear projects incorporating text, audio, video, and graphics
Students
will be using the Wiki to demonstrate their abilities to access information on
the Internet as well as to discern viable information to submit as research in
a Science project. In this lesson, students will be using a classroom Wiki to
demonstrate their understanding of the Human Body system that they were assigned
to research. This is a collaborative effort, so student involvement with their
final product can be monitored and assessed in this manner.
Students
will be working in teams of three:
1)
Student one will access
and provide information on the anatomy
of the body system, providing clear graphics which depict the location of
the body system and its various components with appropriate labels.
In addition, student one
is responsible for all editing done to the final wiki submission (proofreading
and editing of information).
2)
Student two will access
and provide information regarding the physiology
of the body system, providing clear understanding and explanations of how each
of the components of their system functions, and how their system interacts
with other body systems in order for the human body to function properly.
3)
Student 3 will access and
provide clear information as to 5 different diseases and/or injuries that can
occur to the system. Describe the type of physician necessary to treat the
problems. Explain the prognosis for recovery and describe treatment that would
be used on a patient. Is recovery possible or not?
Additionally, all members
are required to cite their sources. Show
what websites were used and give proper credit to those sources.
Grading
Rubric:
4 = All components are present and
work presented is exemplary.
3 = One or two components are missing
and work is well done with few errors
2 = One half of the information is
present and there are many errors in both information and editing
1 = Project was submitted but is
missing almost all components, or information submitted is very poor
quality.
0 = Unscorable
