Your assignment is to draw a fish in your sketchbook. Draw your system within that fish. You will use this page as a visual aid when you present. You are also encouraged to project a picture of your system on the board when you present.

You need to list all the organs involved in your system and then explain their function. The goal of this assignment is to educate the class on the functions of the organs. You also need to explain anything special about the way fish organs function compared to other animals.
