TASK - What am I supposed to do?

Prepare and submit a presentation/report comparing body systems of an animal of your choice and the same body systems in a human. (Ex. lion vs. human, bear vs. human, cat vs. human, whale vs. human, etc.) Compile and report your research findings by creating a Powerpoint, Google slides presentation or written report (Word doc, Google doc, handwritten)
(Ex. lion body systems vs. human body systems)
STEPS- How do I do it?
1. Choose an animal. (Any animal in which you have an interest. Ex: lion, bear, cat, whale, etc.)
2. Choose 3 of the body systems from the list below:

Skeletal System Nervous System Integumentary System
Muscular System Respiratory System Endocrine System
Digestive System Excretory System Cardiovascular/circulatory System
3. Research the body systems you chose for your animal.
4. Research the same body systems for the human.
5. Compare the body systems of your chosen animal to that of humans.
6. Find 5 additional facts about your chosen animal. (Ex. general characteristics, habitat, etc.) Compile and report your research findings by creating a Powerpoint, Google slides presentation or
written report (Word doc, Google doc, handwritten)
(Ex. lion body systems vs. human body systems)
7. Include a list of sources at the end of your Google slides,PowerPoint, or report
Source list should include:
Title of Source
Weblink/URL for source

9. Turn in the presentation/report by uploading it to lesson 12’s dropbox.
Please reach out to your teacher with questions, or if you need help turning
in the assignment. You must complete all lesson before lesson 12 to turn in the project.

Presentation/Report Template: Comparing Body Systems of a Lion and a Human


Slide 1: Title Slide

  • Title: Comparison of Body Systems: Lion vs. Human
  • Your Name
  • Date

Slide 2: Introduction

  • Brief introduction about the importance of comparing animal and human body systems.
  • Mention the chosen animal: Lion (Panthera leo).

Slide 3: Selected Body Systems

  • List the three body systems chosen for comparison:
    1. Skeletal System
    2. Muscular System
    3. Respiratory System

Slide 4: Skeletal System - Lion

  • Overview of the lion's skeletal system:
    • Number of bones: Approximately 250.
    • Adaptations: Robust structure for strength and support; long bones for running.
  • Function: Supports the body and protects vital organs; provides a framework for muscle attachment.

Slide 5: Skeletal System - Human

  • Overview of the human skeletal system:
    • Number of bones: 206 (in adults).
    • Adaptations: Flexible and lightweight; allows for bipedal movement.
  • Function: Supports body structure, provides protection for organs, facilitates movement.

Slide 6: Comparison of Skeletal Systems

  • Differences:
    • Lion has more robust bones for hunting; humans have a lighter frame.
  • Similarities:
    • Both skeletons serve functions of support, protection, and movement.

Slide 7: Muscular System - Lion

  • Overview of the lion's muscular system:
    • Strong, well-defined muscles adapted for sprinting and powerful movements.
    • Major muscles: Pectorals, quadriceps, and hamstrings.
  • Function: Allows for agile movements and hunting capabilities.

Slide 8: Muscular System - Human

  • Overview of the human muscular system:
    • Diverse muscle groups allowing for a wide range of movement.
    • Includes skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles.
  • Function: Facilitates voluntary and involuntary movements; supports posture.

Slide 9: Comparison of Muscular Systems

  • Differences:
    • Lion's muscles are adapted for power and quick bursts of speed; humans have endurance and varied movement capabilities.
  • Similarities:
    • Both systems allow movement and interaction with their environment.

Slide 10: Respiratory System - Lion

  • Overview of the lion's respiratory system:
    • Lungs designed for efficient gas exchange during high exertion.
    • Capacity: Adapted to support longer lung capacity for oxygen intake while hunting.
  • Function: Provides oxygen to the blood and removes carbon dioxide.

Slide 11: Respiratory System - Human

  • Overview of the human respiratory system:
    • Diaphragm and lungs facilitate breathing; average lung capacity around 6 liters.
    • Alveoli enable gas exchange.
  • Function: Supplies oxygen and eliminates carbon dioxide.

Slide 12: Comparison of Respiratory Systems

  • Differences:
    • Lions have an efficient system for short bursts of high activity; humans have a more sustained respiratory effort for longer activities.
  • Similarities:
    • Both systems aim to optimize gas exchange for survival and activity.

Slide 13: Additional Facts about Lions

  1. Lions are social animals that live in prides.
  2. Male lions typically have a mane, which signifies health and adds to their appeal.
  3. Lions inhabit various environments, including grasslands and savannas.
  4. They are apex predators, primarily hunting large herbivores like zebras and buffalo.
  5. Lions can run at speeds of up to 50 miles per hour for short distances.

Slide 14: Conclusion

  • Summarize the key comparisons made between lion and human body systems.
  • Reflect on the significance of understanding these systems in both animals and humans.

Slide 15: Sources

  • List of sources used for research, including:
    • Title of Source 1: [Example Book/Website Title]
      • Weblink/URL for source
    • Title of Source 2: [Example Book/Website Title]
      • Weblink/URL for source
    • Title of Source 3: [Example Book/Website Title]
      • Weblink/URL for source
    • Title of Source 4: [Example Book/Website Title]
      • Weblink/URL for source
    • Title of Source 5: [Example Book/Website Title]
      • Weblink/URL for source

Notes:

  • Use relevant images and diagrams to enhance understanding in your slides.
  • Ensure all information is cited appropriately to avoid plagiarism.
  • Practice your presentation to be clear and confident when explaining your findings.

Final Step:

  • Compile your slides/report and upload to the designated dropbox as per your instructor's guidelines.
