Organ System
For this project every group chose to focus on two different organ systems. It didn't take much discussion for our group to choose the reproductive and endocrine systems. After choosing our systems we brainstormed how we could build our project. Next we made a list of all the materials we would need which included wood, lights, a clear pipe, and more. Next we drew out a basic blueprint that represented how we wanted our project to look. We then quickly gathered all the information about the two systems and how they work separetly and together and soon began to build.

Concepts for this project
Hormone- a regulatory substance produced in an organism and transported in tissue fluids such as blood or sap to stimulate specific cells or tissuesinto action.
Reproductive system- the system of organs and parts which function in reproduction consisting in the male especially of the testes, penis, seminal vesicles, prostate, and urethra and in the female especially of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, utrus, vagina, and vulva.
Endocrine system- collection of glands that produce hormones that regulate metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, sexual function, reproduction, sleep, and mood, among other things.
Orgasm- a climax of sexual excitement, characterized by feelings of pleasure centered in the genitals and (in men) experienced as an accompaniment to ejaculation.
Penis- the male genital organ of higher vertebrates, carrying the duct for the transfer of sperm during copulation.
Vagina- the muscular tube leading from the external genitals to the cervix of the uterus in women.
Dopamin- a compound present in the body as a neurotransmitter and a precursor of other substances including epinephrine.
Oxytocin- a hormone released by the pituitary gland that causes increased contraction of the uterus during labor and stimulates the ejection of milk into the ducts of the breasts.

Reflecction
Overall this project went very well. Not only did I learn many new facts about all the different organ systems and how they work together, but I also learned new things about myself such as sometimes you need to be more creative than other times. Creative was definitly one of our peaks during this project. Coming up with differnt ways we could show functions was not difficult. We all came up with different ways and worked togetherto bring all the ideas together. Another peak was team work. We all knew what we were doing and what we needed to get done. We all brought in different materials as we needed them and then worked togehter to build the project and create our presentation.
One thing our team needed to work on was staying on task. At the beginning of this project we found it easy to get off task. Towards the end we did much better with this. To stay on task more we each made sure that we all had something to do that would help the rest of the group. Another problem we had was that we ran into a few complications while building. For a few materials we had to improvise to have the rest of our project work. As soon as we realized that we had a problem we quickly tried to find a solution. Once we finished with the project we were all happy with the outcome and I was pkeased with all the creativity we used.
