Foldable
• List all 11 body systems on the flaps of your foldable
• Inside the flaps, write information about each of the body systems
• Include the basic function of the system and any major organs of that system

Body Systems Title Page
• On page 65 in your notebook, you need to make a title page for HUMAN BODY SYSTEMS
• Look through pages 144 – 327 to get ideas for images to include in your title page.
• Be sure to include questions you have about the human body
