In
this project, students will be assigned one of eight organ systems to study. Students
will be responsible for researching their systems and then developing an
interactive poster which can act as a teaching aid to other students. On the
poster, students are to include labeled diagrams and drawings of their organ
system, links to helpful videos and/or online quizzes, and audio recording of
them explaining portions of their poster. These electronic components will be linked
to the poster via QR codes.
