Choosing My Body Response Phenomenon and Asking Testable Questions
Associated Skill: Asking Questions
Directions: Complete Tables 1-3 below to identify your Body Response Phenomenon, the Body Systems and Structures involved in your phenomenon, and your associated Testable Question. When finished, complete the Self-Assessment to reflect on your performance as a Scientist.
Table 1: My Body Response Phenomenon
Describe the Body Response Phenomenon you’ll investigate in this project and the scale(s) at which it occurs in a multicellular organism.
Table 2: Related Body Systems and Structures
Describe or Model the Body Systems and Structures that interact in your Body Response Phenomenon. What cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems are involved?
If using a model, copy and paste a photo of your model
