In this project, my class learned about the different body systems that exist in humans. There are 11 body systems; including the two my group researched, the endocrine and reproductive systems. At the start of this project, we chose which systems we were going to research and then found information on the two systems. This information included how the systems work, what organs or cells are involved, and what the system does.
The next step in the project was to use the knowledge we gained of the systems to plan and design a model which would represent the functions of the systems. Once designing was complete, we started construction of the models. These needed to show how the systems work with each other in the human body. Along with the models we created a slide show explaining each system and what it composes of. At the end of the project we presented our models to the class.

Reflection
Throughout this project, my group did well in two subjects. One of these was collaboration. We were able to clearly communicate to each other, allowing us to work fluently with each other and make progress. Working well with your group is an importing skill to have because it allows a more productive and friendly environment to be created. Another aspect that my group did well on was outputting a constant flow of progress each day. Since we were working well together, it was easier for us to achieve our goals and get work done. Having constant progress being made removes the stress of having to do a major amount of work on the last day. On the other hand, one area where we could have improved on was having a better work ethic. While we did get work done every day, my group definitely could have stayed on task more and work harder
