Science Expo 2020

This year the science exhibition will take place on March 30th in the gym as an open expo for guests to come and visit.  Seventh grade students will research a part of the human body and create a tri-fold board presentation as well as a model.

The tri-fold board will include the following:

1. The name of the part of the body that is being researched written clearly.
2. A description of where in the body the part you are researching is found (a diagram is optional)
3. A brief description of the overall function(s) of the body part. 
4. A complete description of the various parts and their functions.
5. A complete description of the importance of the body part and how it interacts with the rest of the body.
6. What would happen if this body part seized to function properly or was missing altogether?

The model must:

1. be a replica or a representation of the body part that is being researched.
2. show a clear representation of its functionality.
3. have all of its parts labeled clearly.
4. Be handmade, as much as possible.
