 Use text and internet to determine the size and shape of the organ  Find the function or functions of the organ  Find the name of the major artery that supplies blood to the organ  Find the name of the major vein that drains blood from the organ  Find the name of the major nerve that supplies information to the organ  Find the name of the tissue types that form the organ  Describe the location of the organ using medical terminology  Construct a scaled a 3-D model of the organ using a soft sponge and attach inside a shoe box lined with pink construction paper (label membrane) to represent a body cavity (label)  Accurately place and label the artery (red pipe cleaner), vein (blue pipe cleaner), and nerve (yellow pipe cleaner) to the organ  Word process (MLA format) a detailed report of the required findings of the organ  Use parenthetical citations and a works cited

Grade:  25 points for a 1-page word processed report (MLA format) of all the required organ findings  25 points for the accuracy & quality of the 3-D organ built in a shoe box o Include neat labels of vein, artery, nerve, membranes, and cavity.
