Essential Question: How do our body systems work together when we play our favorite sport?
How did what you learn about cells and human body systems help you to answer this essential question?
How does this relate to the idea that the body is a system of subsystems made up of groups of cells?
What I learned is about body systems and organelles, cells, and tissues. These helped me explain and show how different body parts work together. There are systems, subsystems within them, cells which are part of them, and organelles that are within the cells. I learned about different body systems, and this helped explain that when we play our favorite sport, its not just the muscle and bones we see, but a lot more happening inside. Different organelles produce different cellular products in order to provide different kind of energies for different uses. The circulatory system speeds up in general, and oxygen gets plumped around the body in a more constant speed. This shows that every cell and organelle contributes for the tissue, and every tissue contributes to the subsystem, every subsystem contributes to the system. The body system isn’t going to function without any of the parts missing, this demonstrates how the body is a system of subsystems made up of groups of cells.
Which learning experience was the most impactful or memorable for you as a learner?
Teacher Mini-Lessons (Heart flow diagram, Direct instruction,
Explanation of Body System functions), because I was able to focus, and they were not as boring as regular research, and not as easy to get off task while working with partners. I work best when the task is not boring, but also not to a point where I get too distracted by the fun.
Also Independent research projects (Blind Box Project), because even though this is serious research, I definitely learned a lot while I was researching, and it was a very valuable project to me. For me, even though these kind of projects are not as entertaining to me, as long as I push through, I will be able to learn a lot.
Improvements
One thing I can improve on is try to achieve an L3 initially without the need for resubmissions, in this unit I have been just one step away from a L3, and even though I can still get a L3 with resubmissions, I will loose the opportunity for a L4. In order to improve in the next unit, I should double check my work to make sure it meets the criteria before I submit my assignments. Another thing I should do is to make sure I have enough time and not rushed while do an assignment, so I can improve the quality.
