Human Body Systems/ELA Informational Research ~ PowerPoint Rubric

You will be using the DiscoveryEd.com website to use as your main researching resource so that you will be able to create a PowerPoint project for the Human Body Systems
science unit that we will be studying this quarter. Remember to use the key vocabulary terms for this science unit as much as possible when you take your research notes. Your
PowerPoint will include images, diagrams that youll need to label, and written summaries of many of the different human body system topics that we are studying. Please use this
rubric as a guide when you are creating your research project. You may use your science notes about the human body systems, the DiscoveryEd.com website resources, and any
other teacher-approved materials from other websites on the Internet (BrainPop and Study Jams) to complete this reasearch-based project.
Students must add more information than what is listed in each section of this rubric in order to earn a Level 4. **

human body and explain which structures/parts
make up this portion of the human body.
* Compare and contrast tendons and ligaments
using a Venn Diagram showing the similarities
and differences between these two parts of the
muscular system. You should have at least 4 facts
(or more) for each portion of the Venn Diagram.

events that occurs when the neuron sends
messages through the nervous system to the
brain.

the following parts:
> Cerebrum
> Brain Stem

main headings and research each topic listed and
generate 5 facts (or more) about each part of the
circulatory system:

* Arteries, capillaries and veins work together to
help the circulatory system work effectively. Find
a short video clip about these parts of the human
body and add it to your slide.
* Explain the role of the circulatory system and
how the heart helps the blood flow through the
arteries, capillaries, and veins in order to keep the
human body alive. Use at least 6-8 sentences to
explain this process.
