Extra Credit Physiology Model Project (80 Test Points)

Extra Credit Physiology Model Project (50 test points each)

Due on or before Friday May 31st (a maximum of 2)

Conditions:  You may pick a model from the list of organ-systems that we have discussed in class.  The project has to be at least 12”x12” ( Not considering the base or board)  The model has to be at least 50% in 3D (no drawings)  It has to be made with durable materials (no play-doh or food items)  The materials must keep for a long time  The model must depict an accurate representation of the organ or system  The model must be accompanied by the appropriate key or labels  The different parts of the model must be color coded

Expectations:  I expect that your Extra Credit project will reflect your enthusiasm and creativity  It will be judged accordingly in the areas of Creativity, Imagination, Accuracy, Neatness, and Esthetics.  10 extra points are offered for models that demonstrate function (have movement)  It must be colorful and pleasing to the eye

Grading Rubric

4 3 2 1 Score Accuracy Model is Model is Model is Model is not Your model must look accurate mostly somewhat accurate and have the same scale as the accurate accurate organ/system you are representing Creativity Very Creative Lacks Not creative Good use of materials, creative creativity bases, and overall presentation Colorful Very Somewhat lacks color The entire Every structure in colorful colorful model is made your organ/system should be represented with the same with its own color color Neatness Very clean Somewhat Not very Messy and/or Labels should be and clean and/or clean and/or disorganized typed, glued with no smudges. If a key is organized organized organized present, it should have colors or numbers. Structures must look clean and neat. Total X 3 = pts. ______= % 0. 48 Recommendations:  Don’t buy expensive materials; you can do well with Sculpey, air dry clay, foam type clay, foam sheets, pipe cleaners, etc. etc.  Research your model; all the effort, blood, sweat, and tears will be wasted if you model is wrong.  Follow the guide lines; don’t turn in what you think the teacher wants, read the instructions and ask questions if you need to.  Work on it with time; many students think they can do a great job in a couple of hours and that is often times not the case.  Consult with your parents, friends, and teachers. They can be a source of great ideas.
