i have to do a presentation on teaching in biology.so i have to use a model to teach a topic..?

any ideas which model i can use to teach high school biology...some ideas are like making a cell...o a structure of the heart.....any other ideas...plizzz

this is my question
Choose a scientific concept (idea, process, etc) from any of the Forms 5-7 Pacific Islands high school science prescriptions (general science, biology, chemistry, or physics). Design and construct a physical (tangible) model which can be used to teach the idea/concept that you’ve chosen. For example, if your topic is The Circulatory System, a concept could be the 4-chambered heart, and a model of it (or a model made of tubes and pumps to simulate the pumping action of the heart) would help students to visualise how this important organ functions.

The purpose of your model is to make abstract scientific ideas easy to understand. You are encouraged to use readily available and inexpensive materials for the construction of this model

Respiration is an excellent choice. You can create an easy model and explain the concept as it is working. If you have the time, students can then make their own model. You can add elements such as choking and the impact of smoking etc into the model to show how they limit the process.

I have added a link that may help.

I have also done models showing the senses - sight is good.

Best of luck!
