2. Introduction Student Page Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion Credits [ Teacher Page ] Your group has been hired by the Dorsal Directors Ad Agency to become travel consultants. Your job is to create a travel brochure highlighting the exotic locations throughout the human body. Tourists are skeptical of traveling nowadays, so it is your job to convince them that it is worth their while to travel to the human body. The owner of the ad agency has hired multiple groups to create the brochure. There will be a board meeting where the groups will have the opportunity to present their brochures, and at the conclusion of the meeting, he will pick the best one. That group’s brochure will be published, and the group will receive a prize. Picture by: Patrick J. Lynch

3. The Task Student Page Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion Credits [ Teacher Page ] In your brochure, you should focus on the circulatory system, the digestive system, the nervous system, and the respiratory system. Highlight the thrilling activities, the function, the imports and exports, and other important information about the areas. To prevent the agency from being sued, you must also discreetly mention any dangers of the areas or things to look out for when the tourists are visiting them. Lastly, explain how tourists can easily travel from one system to the next. Title Picture by: Patrick J. Lynch

Knowledge Gained All students in the group can accurately answer all questions related to facts in the brochure and to technical processes used to create the brochure. All students in the group can accurately answer most questions related to facts in the brochure and to technical processes used to create the brochure. Several students in the group appear to have little knowledge about the facts or technical processes used in the brochure. Systems Function The function of each system is clearly defined. The function of each system is given but not much detail is presented. The function of the system is not given. Systems relate to one another It is clearly shown how each system is related to one another. Only three systems are shown how they relate to one another. It is not shown how each system is related to one another.

7. Conclusion Student Page Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion Credits [ Teacher Page ] Once your group has completed their brochure, every group will present their brochure in front of the review committee, where the best brochure will be voted on and chosen by the panel (the class). At the completion of this WebQuest, you should understand the functions of the circulatory, digestive, nervous, and respiratory systems. You should also understand how these systems relate to one another. This assignment is meant to help review and pull together any loose ends you may have after we have learned about the different systems of the human body in the past unit. These are not the only systems of the human body. What are some other major systems of the body? How do those systems relate to one another and the systems we covered in this project? Are there any systems humans can survive without? What system do you think is the most important to our survival?

10. Introduction (Teacher) [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page This lesson was created in ED331, Educational Technology and Assessment at Colorado State University. It was created as a first WebQuest lesson plan. This lesson is meant to be taught at the end of a unit about the human body. It is meant to have the students show what they have learned about the different systems of the human body and also to explore how the systems relate to one another. In this WebQuest, students will create a travel brochure that takes the audience through a journey of the different systems in the human body. They will present what each system does and possible dangers tourists may encounter while visiting the systems. Begin with something that describes the origin of the lesson. For example: This lesson was developed as part of the San Diego Unified School District's Triton Project, a federally funded Technology Innovation Challenge Grant. In this second paragraph of the introduction, describe briefly what the lesson is about. Remember, the audience for this document is other teachers, not students.

11. Learners (Teacher) [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page This lesson is made for seventh grade science classes learning about the human body. The lesson can easily be extended to grades 6-8 who are learning about the human body and the various systems. This lesson is meant to be given at the end of a unit about the human body, so the learners are meant to already have an understanding about the systems of the human body. Students should also have an understanding of how to navigate through websites. Describe the grade level and course that the lesson is designed to cover. For example: "This lesson is anchored in seventh grade language arts and involves social studies and math to a lesser extent." If the lesson can easily be extended to additional grades and subjects, mention that briefly here as well. Describe what the learners will need to know prior to beginning this lesson. Limit this description to the most critical skills that could not be picked up on the fly as the lesson is given. Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion

16. Evaluation (Teacher) [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page At the conclusion of this lesson, students will turn in a variety of projects, from brochures, to videos. Since this is the final project of the unit, the projects should be professional looking, and look like there was a lot of time put into them. All the projects should cover the information that is required and it should be clear from their projects, that the group understands the systems of the body and how they relate to one another. To see the rubric for how the students will be evaluated, click on the following link: Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion Rubric Depending on how many points the teacher wants the project to be worth, the point values in the rubric can be increased or decreased.

18. Conclusion (Teacher) [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page This WebQuest is a great way to tie up a unit on the human body because it ties together all the systems that the students learned about in class. It gives students a way to understand systems they may not have understood as well in class, and it also gives them an opportunity to further explore systems that they were really interested in.
