DISEASES OF THE RESPIRATORY AND CIRCULATORY SYSTEMS


 

We have learned about the purpose of the circulatory system in humans.  We studied some of the diseases associated with the circulatory system such as atherosclerosis and hypertension.  Currently, we are covering the respiratory system and studying how these two systems complement each other’s function.  As many of you know, there are also diseases associated with the respiratory system such as lung cancer and emphysema.  We will be studying these diseases in the upcoming sections of chapter 16.

Your task is to prepare a project that focuses on four diseases associated with these systems.  The project must meet the following criteria:


You can present the project by any of the following ways:
1.  A poster presentation.
2.  A computer (PowerPoint) presentation.
3.  As a radio or TV show guest in which you serve as an expert scientist on the four diseases.
4.  Write and present a play, poem, song, or rap about the topic.
5.  A presentation that uses models of these systems and demonstrate how these diseases affect the body.  You may use
     modeling clay, Styrofoam, etc., for your models.
6.  A debate between you and a partner about which diseases (respiratory or circulatory) create more harm to the body and why.
7.  As a radio/TV show host interviewing these diseases.
8.  As a judge sentencing four criminals.  The criminals, of course, are the diseases.
9.  Any combination of these methods.
10.Any other methods you may come up with as long as it is approved by the teacher.
