Grade- X BIOLOGY

Research Project: Life Processes.

Investigatory Project on the various life processes.

Date of submission-28-5-2015

Students may choose to create a 3 dimensional model or a working model

of any one of the following:

Human digestive system

Human respiratory system

Human heart

Human excretory system.

Students may do any one of the following:

To Study the Digestion of Starch by Salivary Amylase and Effect of pH and

temperature

The role of anaerobic respiration in the industry, e.g beer brewing and

bread making.

Design a project to show the comparison between respiration and

combustion

Build a model of the human cardiovascular system, and investigate the

effect of changing the diameter of an artery, due to disease, on blood flow

rate.

Design a dialysis unit for filtration of nitrogenous waste

The project will be graded on

Creativity - You should have a model whose appearance is a reasonably accurate

representation of the cell. It should show creative work in its planning and

construction and should be visually interesting

Content - You should be familiar with this cell type and be able to respond to basic

questions about its structure and function. Your paper should accurately describe

its major features and functions

Completion- The Project should be finished, show good effort and be completed on

time
