I chose the jaw joint.
I chose that joint because it is really important to us because we need to eat.
Without the jaw, we wouldn't be able to eat or drink and we would starve to death.

1: Feel Heels Hurting:
2: Feel Pain in Legs:
3: Feel Tired:
4: See Face Red:
5: Feel Heart Pounding:
6: Feel Sweat:
7: Feel Slowing Down:
8: Hear/Feel Heavy Breathing:
9: Feel Cramp:
10: Joints Aching:

1: Because of the pressure and weight on the foot. And my heels are being pushed against the ground.
2: Because my joints were too lubricated. This was happening because I put lots of pressure on my legs.
3: Because you are out of breath and need to rest. You must dehydrated and extremely tired.
4: Because capillaries in your face and throughout your body dilate so blood flows through them in an effort to move the heat. Your body is generating to the skin's surface, where it can be radiated off. So that's how your face turns red.
5: Because more oxygen and blood needs to be pumped while you are exercising. This happens  because your heart has to keep up with you.
6: Because you are loosing water from your body. It also cools you down when you are hot.
7: Because your joints are starting to ache and you get tired. This happens when your running for a while
8: Because you need more oxygen when you are running. And Because you need to pump blood faster too.
9: Because I probably didn't drink or stretch enough before running in place and doing jumping jacks. My chest started to cramp up and I didn't drink a lot during breakfast.
10: Because there is a lot of weight being put on them. They then start to ache all of the weight.

Reflection Questions:

• What three basic things do our bodies need in order survive?
• If we exert ourselves, what are three (or more) signs that our bodies are in distress? Explain why our body does that (research it if you need to).
• What can we do to make these signs go away?
  

Reflection Answers:
1. Our body needs food, water, and shelter to survive! Without those three things we would be dead. (Learned It From Camp Duncan!) 

2. The first thing is that our faces turn red. This happens because the capillaries in your face and throughout your body dilate. That means the blood flows through them in an effort to move the heat. Your body is generating to the skin's surface, where it can be radiated off. The second thing is that our body sometimes gets cramps. This happens because we probably didn't drink or stretch enough before running in place and doing jumping jacks. My third and final thing is that our body starts to sweat. This happens because you are loosing the water from your body. The sweat also cools you down when you are hot so it's a good thing that you sweat.

3. Well, for the first one, you can't make your face turn not red, it just turns red. For the second one, you should drink plenty of water and stretch before you exercise. That should help you and not get that many cramps. And for the third one, you can't just stop sweating. Our body just needs to sweat and you should appreciate it! It cools are body down even though we are loosing some water. 

Notes That I Notice:

• The apple has a very tiny stem - that probably means that it easily fell off the tree. 
• When you hit the hard core of the apple, it sounds like it's hollow inside but when you it farther away from the core it gets softer and softer and you cant really here much.
• The apple really smells like an apple tree to me. I realized that the smell is not that strong as other smells. It is about like medium smell.
• I realized that the skin of the apple is very thin and I wonder how the skin keeps the apple protected from getting dented and other dangerous things.
• I saw that on the apple, it has a little bit of brownish color, so I think that it means that it is starting to rot a little. 
• I see that different apples have more or less seeds than other apples. Mine only had 2 and my responsibility partner only has 1. I also noticed that some apples have no seeds at all.
• I realized that the apple has a lot of juice inside it. I wonder how such an apple has a lot of juice. Is their enough to fill a glass of apple juice? 
• I looked at the apple seeds and realized that they are tiny and have a really tough shell. When you try to pick at the seeds with a tooth pick, they are really slippery.
• When I squeeze the apple, it makes like a weird crunching noise. 

Reflection:

• Why were you able to observe so many things about your apple today?
• Why is observation and description so important in science?
• Rank order the five senses in the order or your observations (i.e. which sense was used most, second most, etc.).

Answers:
I was able to observe so many things about my apple because I was focused on observing my apple and seeing all the different things that the apple had.

Observation and description is really important in science because you observe the thing that you are observing and learn cool facts about your test.

1. Touch, 2. Smell, 3. See, 4. Hear, 5. Taste

We need ears because it helps us hear what we need to hear. Without them, we could not hear anything and we would have to learn sign language. We need eyes because it helps us see different things. Without them, we would be blind and probably have a hard life. We need a nose because it helps us smell different types of smells. Without it, we could not smell anything. We need a mouth because it helps us talk and lets us eat. Without it, we would not be able to speak and would starve to death because we could not eat anything unless you find another way to feed yourself. We need our arms because it helps us pick up stuff. If we did not have arms, you would have a hard time doing stuff. We need our chest and stomach because it helps us digest food. Without those two things, we could die. We need our legs because they help us walk around. Without them, we would not be able to walk. We need our feet because they help us balanced. Without them, we would always be falling down.

My alien needs the strong beak because it will help it get his food and speak. Without it, he won't be able to eat or talk. My alien needs the little wings to grab stuff and fly around like a bird. Without them, he won't be able to grab things he needs too and fly around to get to places. My alien needs the green slime so he won't slip that much because he is on a slippery and wet planet. Without the slime, he will be slipping a lot! My alien also needs those two long eyes so he can see in far distances. Without them, he would be blind and not able to see when predators are coming. (The eyes are really flexible)

Reflection:
1. Compare and contrast your alien and a human.  What similarities do they have and what differences do they have?  These should be related to the parts of their bodies that have a specific purpose (Example: Both have feet which help them both stand straight up.)  Try to be specific and explain things with detail.

My and my alien both have two eyes so we both can see far and see if anything dangerous is coming. We both have a mouth so we can both eat food and communicate with others around us. We both have a nose so we both can smell different types of smells. We both have arms so we can grab different items and materials. But we both don't have the disgusting slime like stuff around us. Only my alien does because is he does not, he will always slip.

The hardest part about this activity was figuring out where all the organs went in the human body.

Some of the organs that we thought that went in the correct place were the lungs, brain, eyes, heart, skin, and stomach.

Some of the organs that we thought we put in the wrong places were, the Esophagus, the Pharynx, the Larynx, the Diaphragm, and the Trachea.
