Bio-Bot 2018
an Anatomical “Collage”
of the Human Body
|
|
|
Objective:
Your group is to make a “BioBot” that "best" resembles the structures and
the functions of the organs and structures found in a human body.
Procedure:
- "Brainstorm"
the "best" analogies for the organs and/or structures (see list)
found in a human body
- Structure over
function; however, try to accommodate both
- Non-perishable items
only
- Focus on non-costly,
junk, and useless items found around the home
- Decide who will bring
materials that you'll need among the people in your group and write it
down so everyone knows who will bring what.
- Don’t forget items and
tools to build the “BioBot”
- Have a back-up plan
(i.e. phone tree/duplicate assignment responsibilities)
- Develop a KEY that will
include:
o The “organs and/or structures”
and the “item and/or analogy” that you used
o Names of the people in your
group and period
- Build your BioBot as soon as you begin gathering your materials
o Keep your area clean and
organized
o Be imaginative yet anatomically
correct
Further
Information:
- All work is to be done in class (unless special
permission is given)
- May wish to bring a box, bag, or container to place
parts, tools, items, etc….
- The project must have an outline or definitive shape of
the human body
- The model is to be between 1 and 2 meters in length (no
exceptions)
- Special effects are optional; however, “may” help your
grade
- The model may be laying down or standing up
- No items are to be used
that clearly represent a structure or organ (i.e. Mr
Potato Head parts)
- Any form of poor taste
during the construction or with the project will result in disciplinary
action
- Be prepared to discuss
your reasoning’s behind your project, structures, organs, and/or terms.
- Evaluation will be done with a “project rubric”
