LTLT#5: Reaching Extremes-A Study
of Human Body Systems and Homeostasis
Long Term Learning Target #5 I can
gather, interpret, and analyze data from extreme situations, to determine the
effects on specialized cells, tissues, organs and human body systems.
|
What
effect do extreme situations have on the human body?
Culminating Essay
Task: After reading informational texts, write a report that analyzes how each body system contributes to homeostasis in
response to extreme situations. Use examples, and scenarios, to
provide examples that back up, and support your analysis. What conclusion or
implications can you draw? A bibliography is required.
