Project: Design a Roller Coaster
Objective: Design and (maybe) construct an amusement park ride based on one of the following body systems:
Circulatory Nervous Respiratory Digestive Excretory Endocrine
Skeletal Muscular Integumentary Immune
Take a component of one of these systems and construct an amusement park ride. The ride should have at least two cars. It should make sense in the structure and function of the body system you chose.
For Example:
THE NEUROBLASTER!!!
Built in the shape of a neuron. Riders board at the nucleus and get pulled to the top of the cell body before being released down the axon. Coaster includes a synaptic jump and the ride ends after traveling down a dendrite to the nucleus.
THE HEARTATTACK!!!
Riders board in the left atrium before traveling through a brief cave to the left ventricle. They get shot out of the left ventricle through the semilunar valve and up the aortic arch. Coaster ends at the right ventricle.
THE TUNNEL OF UUUUGGGGGH!
Lovers float through the small intestine. They board at the duodenum and exit at the large intestine.
