Name: ____________________________________ Due Date: __________

For this project, you will build your own gastrointestinal tract! FUN !

! Your first set of notes contains all the parts you will need to include.
! A verbal/written component is also required for the purpose of explaining the function and flow of your
digestive tract.
! Each part/organ should be accounted for and easily distinguishable, along with an accurate description
of its job in human digestion.
o All the information you will need for this project can be found in your notes! No research
necessary but feel free.
! You can use absolutely any format you wish! Please have a rough idea OKd by me before proceeding.
If you need any help or clarifying, ask me BEFORE Spring Break!
! You will be marked on content (including all parts), verbal/written component (accurate descriptions of
functions), creativity (how well-thought-out your design is), neatness/attractiveness and mechanics
(grammar, spelling and punctuations).

! It is not required to make your model flow! However, bonus points would be rewarded if you were
successful, in the Creativity and Attractiveness categories. But do not make that your main focus.
Complete all other requirements before you attempt it!
