Date set: Deadline:
Learner Declaration: Please sign below to confirm you have read and fully understand that your project work is due in no later than the deadline stated above.
Here are some ideas to get thinking about how you can showcase your work at the bodyworks: paranoid android exhibition. Make sure your choices are based on what best suits the nature of what you have learned and your own learning style(s).
Wall charts Podcasts Radio broadcast TV show
Comic Books Games Interactive 3D models.
Any Other Methods? Clearly state what it is. get the go ahead from your teachers.
Once agreed you must stick to this assessment method and be prepared to show off your amazing work at the iSTEM Bodyworks exhibition in January 2016.
Think about the human body systems you have learned about as you will have to show your understating of them in considerable
detail. Furthermore your project is to showcase your learning in terms of the theme of the exhibition paranoid android. What questions spring to mind when you consider the future of technology, particularity in relation to prosthetics, organ transplants, reproductive treatments, or enhancements of the nervous system?
How can you showcase the evolutionary wonders of the human body, for example the magnificent workings of our Nervous, Endocrine, Urinary and reproductive systems? How can you showcase the extraordinary ways in which humans maintain homeostasis - will cyborgs ever be created with this level of complexity?
What can you discover about this amazing biological machine - the human body - that makes you want to share your knowledge in an inspirational and engaging way?

In order to pass this unit, you must meet all the learning outcomes for the unit. The assessment criteria for a pass grade describes the level of achievement required to pass this unit. You must achieve All Pass and Merit to gain Merit in this unit. To gain a Distinction in this unit you must meet All Pass, Merit AND Distinction Criteria.
4T h e human body's systems work
together in remarkable
harmony. Even the most
simplistic actions involve numerous systems in
complex coordination, whether its the nervous
system, with impulses travelling up to 248 mph,
or the muscular system with contraction and
relaxation of the body's 600 muscles. Consider the
endocrine system; involving hormones produced by
glands in one part of the body that affect selected
cells with the correct receptors in other
parts of the body. Or the lymphatic system,
which contributes to homeostasis by
draining interstitial fluid as well
as providing the mechanisms for
defence against disease.

n this project you will learn about some of our amazing body systems: for example the coordination
and efficiency of the nervous and endocrine systems to The self perpetuating accomplishments of the reproductive systems. You will also consider the ways in which our biological machines maintain balance as homoeostatic mechanisms regulate pH, water balance, acid base levels, temperature and hormonal levels, to name but a few. Homeostasis keeps our bodies within an optimal range of values to ensure longevity of the organism... Will cyborgs ever be able to evolve similar mechanisms?
inally you will give careful consideration to the future. In particular the future advances of fertility treatments and what to do should our homeostatic mechanisms
falter. For example in the case of hormonal disorders like
pituitary dwarfism or diabetes.
