Body System Analogy Project

  • Due No Due Date
  • Points 30
  • Submitting on paper

The body can be compared to many different things based on the functions of its parts and how those parts work together to create a functioning system. It is your job to create an analogy of the body by choosing a theme and showing how all the body systems work within this theme. You must use 10/11 body systems in your analogy. If you include all 11, you will earn extra credit for the 11th system.

NOTE: YOU WILL BE CREATING THIS ON PAPER, NOT ON THE COMPUTER.
