Studies Find Cheaters Overinflate Academic Ability

I found this article to be quite interesting. I hope every family reads it and takes some time to discuss it. For those of you who refuse to cheat on assignments, Gizmos, and assessments all I can say is "Kudos to you" and I'm not talking about the snack bars;)

BODY SYSTEMS BOOKLET

You will make a booklet that has 4 sections. The sections are
CONTROL SYSTEMS, SUPPORT SYSTEMS, DELIVERY SYSTEMS, AND WORKING TOGETHER.

Each tab/section will have
a drawing or sketch by hand (no machine produced graphics),
a list of all organs in the system,
an explanation of specializations within the system (example: types of muscles), and
an explanation of how the system works.

The final section/tab is all about HOMEOSTASIS. Explain how each system works with the others to keep you in a state of homeostasis.

The book is due on the first day you come to science after break.
