There are a lot of bodies hanging around the middle school hallway. Actually, these are paper bodies created by Nikki Bailey's seventh grade life science classes displayed on a bulletin board. The students were studying the body systems. Their project was to create multi-layered paper dolls with each layer depicting a different body system: skeletal, muscular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, circulatory, immune, integumentary, nervous, endocrine and reproductive. Students drew the top layer of the project to look like themselves.
