Welcome to Mrs. Donald’s Excretory System WebQuest!

 

Directions: You will be expected to prepare either a booklet or poster displaying knowledge of the excretory system.  Be sure that your project addresses the following points:

1) It has appropriate pictures and/or diagrams in addition to words

2) What is the purpose of the excretory system?

3) What processes produce waste?

4) What waste is produced in which process?

5) How is each waste product dealt with?

 

Bonus: What happens if one or more parts of the excretory system do not work properly? Is there any “artificial” means of correcting for the improperly or non-working part?

 

You will be allowed to use the following websites to find your answers.  I will check to see that you have answered all questions before proceeding with your work.
