3D HUMAN BODY SYSTEM MODEL PROJECT

St. Augustine – Skeletal, Muscular, & Integumentary Systems

St. Ignatius – Digestive & Respiratory Systems
St. Thomas – Circulatory & Nervous Systems

OBJECTIVE
- To prepare a 3D model to educate your other classmates and schoolmates about
one of the body systems that makes up the human body.
INSRUCTIONS AND MECHANICS
- Students composed of 5 teams will create a 3D model of the human body outline
and some organs
- Students will plan, create, and exhibit 3D model of the human body system during
Science Fair.
- Each organ should be labelled and include an explanation of its function of an
organ.
- All materials in creating a model should be recyclable.
- Look for the body system checklist for some guidelines after creating a model.
