Communicators - we will practice being effective communicators as we share information about how the human body works with other teenagers
Objectives
In this chapter, we have analysed diagrams, images and text to understand how the several different body systems function. We have demonstrated our knowledge and understanding by describing in different platforms of communication how these body systems work. We have also applied our scientific understanding to help others make decisions for balanced and healthy lifestyles, after discussing and analysing different factors that may impact the way we choose to communicate our message. We have practised different approaches to research and different ways to share information, while documenting the work of others that we used to develop our final work.
