Organ Systems research - Grade 5 (pm)

Just a note that the grade 5 students should be continuing their research on their chosen organ system at home. They are looking for information to answer the following prompts:
o   The role of your system in the body
o   The basic structure and function of the major organs in your system
o   Identify and describe one relationship between your organ system and another
o   Social and environmental factors that affect your system
o   Identify common diseases and disorders that affect your system
o   Complete an experiment that puts your organ system to the test

Students are to allow look for videos, pictures, and diagrams (that are appropriate for grade five - nothing "University level"). All websites that are used are to be referenced. For example, if a student finds a picture on Google, they are to go to the actual site that posted the picture and record that website address (no information is to be referenced to Google). 

Many students are using a Google doc to store their information. This is ideal as the info will be available both at school and home. 

Students will have three more classes next week available for research.
