Design and construct a 3D model of a human body system. Please follow the guidelines listed below:

• The model should be no less than the size of a large cereal box, but also at a reasonable size and weight. Something you can easily carry to school.
• Use any kind of material to make your model: wood, clay, wires, balloons, plastic, fabric, cardboard, pipes, etc. The only material not allowed is glass and sharp dangerous parts.
• Show all the organs clearly.
• Label the different parts of your model clearly.
• Attach a short explanation to your model (typed or neatly hand written) describing how the system works and what its main function is.
• Your model should be able to stand by itself on a flat surface. This is important for the display during the Science Gallery.
