Our Beautiful Bodies

This assignment is one of my favorites. Pick your favorite body system that you would like to do some research on. All of these systems are equally as complex, interesting, and essential to our daily life so there is no one system that is more important than the other.

The major body systems are:

Skeletal

Muscular

Nervous

Cardiovascular

Digestive

Urinary

Reproductive

Check out these awesome websites and find the same system on each website. Look at the difference between how the website presents the same information and how easy or hard it is to understand what they are saying. Pick the best and worst site out of the following four:

Tour of the Human Body

Human Body Online

The Virtual Body

Body Quest

Now that you’ve “seen the sites” compare your favorite site and the site you liked least. What did you like? What didn’t you like? What changes would you have made? Why was your favorite, your favorite? Would you recommend this site to someone else? Write a two paragraph essay about the best and worst site out of the four you toured. After the comparison, write down 5 things you learned about your topic system (must be full sentences).
