Excretory System Project
- 1. Excretory System Projects You will use TRASH to make a model of an excretory system in groups of 5. Your project MUST include kidneys, ureters, a bladder, a urethra, renal veins, renal arteries, an inferior vena cava (try to make this blue), and an abdominal aorta (try to make this red). Try to show the nephrons inside one of the kidneys if you want some extra points. You MUST also label and show the function of each organ. Your project should be fixed onto REUSED future board. The point of this project is to REUSE things we don’t need. Try not to buy anything, but find trash you see laying around. Example materials are coke cans for the kidneys, old bicycle tire tubes for the inferior vena cava and abdominal aorta, a small plastic water bottle for the bladder. You can use straws from your lunch (wash them!), old pens that don’t work anymore, whiteboard markers, and you could use a lot of small trash to make one big organ. The point is to be creative, to have fun and to make a project and some art at the same time. Science and art do NOT have to be separate! Do a Google image search for “trash art” to get some ideas. NO SMELLY TRASH or FOOD TRASH, and wash the things you use so they don’t smell later. Due dates: 8/1 – July 4th 8/2 – July 3rd 8/3 – July 2nd 8/4 – July 1st
