Discuss your organ system

1. What organ system are you modelling?

A. Respiratory System
2. What are the functions of your organ system called?
A. To collect oxygen and place it in the blood.
Discuss your model
1.What functions does your model demonstrate? How does it demonstrate each function?
A.The inhalation and exhalation of air and the diffusion of oxygen into the bloodstream.
2. What function of your organ system are not demonstrated by your model? If you had time
and resources, how would you demonstrate these functions?
A. We didnt represent the exhalation of the CO2 and if we had more time and resources we
would 3D print working lungs from stem cells.
3. What scientific principles did you need to understand in order to build your model?
A. Air pressure and diffusion.
Show your model in action
Discuss the design process
1.How did you come up with ideas?
A.We used google as a reference and modified those ideas with the materials we had available.
2.How did your group decide on the ideas/plan that resulted in your model?
A.We voted on which idea best represented the respiratory system.
3.What ideas were considered and then dismissed? Why were they dismissed?
A.We thought of combining the two projects and that wasnt plausible.
4.What problems did you face in the design process and how did you solve them?
A.We didnt have many problems except a leaky nozzle and we fixed that using duct tape.
5.How many times did you have to redesign, test, or approve?
A.1 time
Discuss Collaboration
1.Who did what in your group?
A.We all researched and built the project but Griffin also kept us on track and motivated.

2.How did each member of the group contribute? How did you decide who would do what?
A.We all built the model and divided the work equally.
Discuss Project Management
1.How did you communicate with each other about ideas and logistics of building the model?
A.We talked to each other in class.
2.How did you resolved disagreements?
A.We all worked together well.
Relate to the Real World
1.How could what you learned during this project, your model, the concepts used in your model
or the design and building help process relate to a real life situation?
A.We learned to collaborate with each other and learn more about the respiratory system more
than what we knew before.
