=Welcome to Ms. Immel's Organ Systems Wiki!!= ===Each of Ms. Immel's Life Science classes will be producing a Wiki page that includes information on the organ system their group was assigned. Below you will find the assignment information, as well as the rubric for the project.===

Enjoy!

** Mind-blowing! Hair-raising! Eye-popping! **   ** The Human Body! **
 * Now that we have sampled the body’s organ systems (see the Brainpop packet), we need to take a closer look at how we humans work. Over the next two weeks, you’ll work with a group to research an organ system (both the people you work with and the organ system you research will be randomly assigned). By Tuesday, December 13th, you will need to research your assigned organ system and create: **


 * 1) **** a Wiki page including (rubric on the back): **
 * 1) ** __At least__ 3 different wiki instruments used to display your information **
 * 2) ** picture of the organ system __and__ organs located in the system **
 * 3) ** information about your organ system that is easy for other students to take notes on **
 * i. **** the organ system’s function and roles **
 * ii. **** organs that are included in that system **
 * 1) ** a “Top 5” list of reasons why you need that organ system **
 * 2) ** a bibliography of the sources you’ve used in your research (Yes… even pictures need to include where you got them from) **


 * You may include this information on your Wiki page by using any of the tools shown to you in class, or any tools you may also know of online that can be included in your Wiki page. This page will be public, so you can access it from home. This will help you maintain access to everyone’s information once I have approved it to help you study! **


 * You’ll have the following schedule to work on this project in class. If that is not enough time you will need to get with your partners to organize a time you can talk over the phone, meet, email, etc. **
