Anatomy and Physiology Final Evaluation – “Med School 101”

This is your chance to tell me everything you know about Digestion, Circulation, and Respiration! How do the structures of each of these systems relate to their function? How are all three systems connected?

Rather than a unit test, you will create a “Med School 101” poster that could be used to teach others about basic Anatomy and Physiology.

When: In-class June 8th and 9th

What to prepare: you can bring cut-out images and diagrams to help supplement the poster, but no pre-prepared text! Take the time to plan what you will do in advance.

Format: You will be given large piece of poster paper and the rest is up to you so be creative! You could tell the story of a blood cell, or a cracker; you could fill in parts of a 2-D body, you could trace the path of a molecule of oxygen or carbon.....
