Introduction:
In this project we explored the body's different organ systems, how they interact with each other, and their function.Our group was focused on the endocrine and reproductive syste, but we learned about all of the material. Organ systems use each other to carry out bodily responsibilityand make an organism function.
Content:
Here is the function for each system, how the systems interact, and the major organs of each system. This basically sums up the content and knowledge required for this project.

Our model represents the endocrine and reproductive system's functions. The model begins with balls (hormones) which are held in place with a stopper (hypothalamus) that controls when the ballls will be released from the ledge (pituitary gland) and down a corresponding tube (specified cell). The ball then knocks over a domino, which represents the hormone's change to the body. Another tube, representing the ovaries, is sent into a box (uterus) which will then be opened to reveal a bay. This respresnts how the hormones are sent to regulate the body, including the reproductive system, and how to reproductive system actually reproduces.
Conclusion:
This project was great because the work was divided among the groups in the classroom. Each group had two systems, and so we could focus on one portion of the body, but still got to learn all of the organ systems. This was a very effective way of teaching us. Onemajor strength in this project was the peer revisions. We exchanged proposals (see above) with other groups, and recieved feedback. This allowed us to make adjustments and create the best possible presentation we could. Another strength was the ability to communicate with our group emembers. My group and I had a group message chat, where we could confirm project schedule and adress concerns. However, we could have managed our time better because we ended up cutting it close towards the end. We could've fixed this by being more on task and setting daily goals. Another issue was the acess to material. We were constantly moving classrooms to gather supplies and space to work. Next time we could make a constructed list of what we need and get it at the beginning of the day, and we began to do this towards the end. Overall, it was an interesting project with lots of material, but the process made it easy to cover and understand.
