Nervous System Project Reflection

                Prior to our Nervous System project in biology, we were discussing the anatomy of human bodies. We would spend two or three days discussing and doing activities for each major system our bodies. After all of this, we were split into our groups, and then put to work on our system’s projects.
                The purpose of this project was to deepen our understanding of a specific part of the human body. How we did this was the tasks of the group were split up and everyone had to research a specific part of our system. At the very end, we then all combined our products, and put them on our group’s websites.
                Before the project started, we all chose three different parts of the project that we would go into depth in, and then Mrs. Dunning chose one of those things to assign us. Before we did this though we received a piece of paper to read over that gave us overviews of what each part would entail.
                The role I was given was Creative Media l. This role entailed me finding some sort of creative way to show the nervous system. We needed to use content specific vocabulary and provide a thorough description.
                My final project that I did was two comic strips, one about the path a “nervous reaction” would take if you were to get hit in the side, and another was a safe way to protect your central command center for your nervous system, your head. I was not too impressed with my final product, but I ran out of time, so I finished it as best as I could. This is a link to the website our web design person created, and it has all of my groups work on it: http://www.are-you-nervous.webs.com/
