Role-Play Simulation Game

Project Outline:

• Part 1: Research & Understanding

  • Develop a deep understanding of the six body systems discussed in the unit

• Part 2: Scenario Analysis

  • Create scenarios that upset homeostasis and determine how the body system will respond. Pretend that you are the director of a play. You must instruct the "actors" playing each body system, telling them what to do.

  • The overall theme of the role-play is "The homeostasis of a pregnant lady"

    1. You must generate a different scenario for each body system (5 in total). 

    2. You must include why it is important that this imbalance be brought back into balance for the sake of the pregnancy.

• Part 3: Application & Strategy

  • Ensure that scientific principles are applied when developing strategies for maintaining homeostasis in each scenario.

Submission Details:

• Due Date: Monday, May 6, 2024

• Format: Written document, submitted electronically via Google Classroom

• Components: No specific length but the document should include:

  1.  an introduction that outlines what homeostasis is and a short description of the six body systems (circulatory, respiratory, digestive, endocrine, immune, reproductive).

  2.  A scenario for each system (except the reproductive system).

  3.  A detailed description of how the body would come back into balance after the disturbance and instructions for each actor.

• All work must be your own. Cite any sources you use in a reference section.
