Human Body Unit Reflections

After 9 weeks of studying the human body, here are a few favorites from our class...

"My favorite project we did in our study of the human body, was what we did in the immune system. One of the activities we did in the immune system was to show how fast viruses spread. We each got a cup of water and two people had “contaminated” water , but we didn’t know who had the special water. We shared our water using water droplets with each other . Using a special substance over half of our class was affected. This activity showed me how fast viruses and diseases spread."

"My favorite project was coding the Sphero. I loved the challenges of coding the tiny robot."
- Josephine

"My favorite project about systems this year was the Healthy East project. It was when we thought of many ideas to make our campus more healthy. During the project we learned about a couple of new systems and how good food and exercise can effect your body."
- Varun R.

"Our favorite project from our study of the human body was the rat dissection. We enjoyed learning about our body systems through a hands-on project. During the dissection, we could see the parts of the body in a once living animal instead of just a diagram. It gave us a deeper and more relatable experience from which we gained a lot of information. Dissecting the rat was a great way to see and understand the structures of the human body."

"I liked whenever we were learning about our heart rate the most it was very cool. It was cool because we got to test things to see if our heart rate would actually change and we learned why doctors check our heart rate."
- Emily P.
