GRADE 12 ORAL HOMEOSTASIS PROJECTS
‘Your group will be made up of two teams. One team is the A team and the other is the B team.
Both teams must be able to present the material of your project. On the first presentation day,
your group team A will present while members of the team B will rotate to the other groups and
lear the other information. On the second day, your group will switch roles and the B team will
present while the A team will rotate. You will only have a ten minute time interval to complete
your presentation, so keep it concise, informative and to the point. I will be grading each group
and team so make sure that you do a high quality presentation. Remember, I want a presentation
that shows that you know your material (don’t read anything) and that you can communicate it
very effectively
The presentation days will be and
