System
By: Tony Molloy, Sarah Cantor, Andrew
Uyesugi, Peter Hunt, Emilie Baxter
Function
Transport materials like water, oxygen, and nutrients
throughout the body.
Transported to your bodies cells.
Transporting materials is not the only thing your
circulatory system does. It also removes waste like
carbon dioxide, lactose, hydrogen, and many other
types of cell waste.
Our Model
Shows the distribution of Oxygen to one of the organs,
the liver(tupperware and tubing)
o Systemic Circulation (to other organs)
o Pulmonary Circulation (through the lungs)
Flaws
The color change of deoxygenated blood instead, we used a differential of heat to
show variation between oxygen depleted
and oxygen rich blood

Original Ideas
1. Fish Tank Idea

2. Balloon idea

Problems
Making the wooden bases stand up- made another
wider base (more surface area = more stability)
Using the balloons - stopped using balloons
Making the holes in the pipe- kept on having redo
the holes and make them bigger
Making sure the holes are water proof- more
accurate at applying the hot glue (clumps don;t
work)
Collaboration
We decided who should bo what job based
on their interests, talents, strengths, and
weaknesses. Also, whoever came up with
the idea for an adjustments, they knew how
to carry out the process best. Here are each
members group responsibilities:
Group Responsibilities
Andrew
Helped Make Powerpoint, Facilitator (provide
necessary supplies), Idea Generator
Strengths/Talents: Creative, Innovative, Resourceful
Weaknesses: Staying focused (i.e. balloons), using
scissors, organization
Group Responsibilities
Peter
o Engineer (built many of the structures)
o Strengths/Talents: Using tools properly, find
solutions to problems
o Weaknesses: Following strict criteria from the
assignment
Group Responsibilities
Sarah
o Facilitator (provide necessary supplies), Perfect
Details (accurately cut connections for tubing)
o Strengths/Talents: Detail oriented, organization
o Weaknesses: Talking to other groups
Group Responsibilities
Tony
o Engineer (built many of the structures)
o Strengths/Talents: Supplying the group with
appropriate materials, Helping whenever it is needed
o Weaknesses: Staying on Task
Group Responsibilities
Emilie
o Help with Powerpoint, Facilitator (trouble shooter,
provide supplies)
o Strengths/Talents: Organization, Staying on Task
o Weaknesses: Using tools, Creativity/Originality
Leadership
For each area of our project, there was a
different leader based on their strengths:
o
o
o
o
o
Peter - Construction
Sarah - the connections in the tubing and cups
Tony - Materials
Andrew - Exhibition of Differential of Oxygen Rich
and Depleted Blood
Emilie - Powerpoint
Communication
Before Construction, we made a list of all the
materials each group member was
responsible for bringing.
During Construction, we divided jobs
between construction and the powerpoint to
be efficient with time.
After Construction, assign certain parts of
the presentation to each group member.
Resolving Disagreements
We only had 2 slight disagreements:
1. Use of Balloons
a.
b.
Sprinkler system
o
system of tubing
with only 1 error, still catastrophic
