Reflection Questions -

What did breathing through straws represent?
Why should we have this experience?
It was difficult to continue moving when you breathed through the straw. Why is that?
What are some things that affect the respiratory system and make it harder to breathe?
How would your daily life be affected if you could only breathe in small amounts of air with each breath?

Reflection Answers -

It represented how hard we need to breath for our muscles so they can get the oxygen they need.
We should because it shows us how hard our body will try to inhale for oxygen so our body can keep moving.
It was difficult because then our body needed to pump more oxygen to our muscles so we had to breathe harder.
Some things that effect the respiratory system are diseases like asma, or like running because your body will need more oxygen.
You would not be able to run that much because you would quickly run out of air and maybe pass out because of the loss of oxygen.

Jello without Meat tenderizer - Not much has drained from the coffee filter. Stayed the same. Leaked just a bit, Coffee filter didn't let it through. Jello still was a bit chunky. completely dry coffee filter.

Jello With Meat Tenderizer - Broke down the jello, lots leaked through to the bottom. Completely wet coffee filter. turned into more of a liquid. I think it leaked down to the bottom because the meat tenderizer broke down the jello like are stomach would brake down are food. Then it leaked through unlike cup one because of the meat tenderizer just like our stomachs would take out all of the nutrients to give to our body the good parts of the food. And it keeps the not needed food in it.

Question 1 - How are the two cups different and why.

Question 2 - What process in the human body is demonstrated by the liquid in the bottom of the cup

Question 3 - What process in the human body is demonstrated by the wet coffee filter.

Question 4 - How does this lab help us understand digestion

Question answers -
1. The cups are different because of the cup two is wet on the sides and let some of the jello through, when cup 1 was dry on the sides and didn't leek through through at all. So one cup drained some out and one didn't.

2. The process demonstrated is the meat tenderizer is the enzymes breaking down the proteins in the jello, which jello is actually meat. The wetness is the liquid in the large intestine.

3. In Number 2 also.

4. It is taking the jello and breaking it down in to what it could use (The Jello).

Notes for If The World Were a Village. ( Lots of Notes got deleted!)

33 people are Christians, 22 are Muslims, 15 are non religious.
Foods of the village.
31 sheep and goats, 23 cows, bulls, and oxen, 15 pigs, 3 camels, 2 horses, and 700 chickens ( 7 times the amount of people in the village )
There is other food in the global village, there is no food shortage everyone could have enough but
30% of the village is hungry most of the day!, 17% are severely undernourished and are always hungry. The other 53% have enough food to be happy and survive. 47% of the village is never sure if they will have enough to eat.
Air and Water-
In most of the village is clean air and water.
87% percent of the people have clean and safe water, the other 13 do not they spend a lot of there day getting clean water for there families.
62% of the people have access to nice and clean sanitation, they have public or household sewage disposal. 38% have risks for diseases caused by poor sanitation.
68% Breathe clean air, while 32% breathe air that is unhealthy because of pollution.
school and work-
Some children can't go to school
36 people can should go to school
30 of them go to school, there is one teacher for all of them, 6 of them don't
those 6 work at home or are child laborers. 3 work at home and help around the house, 3 are sent to work at somewhere to work. 14 people can't read. More males were tot how to read more then girls.
There are 63 adults adults in the village who could have jobs. but only 52 of them are working. 6 people want to work but can't find a job. The others are retired or at school.
Money and Possessions
Each person would have 10,300 U.S dollars if split equally. But it is not divided equally. The richest 10 people have nearly 85% of the world's wealth. Each has more then 87,500 dollars a year.
The average cost of basic things like food, shelter, etc, is more then 5,000 dollars a year. Many people can't afford that.
The poorest ten people each earn less then 2 dollars a day. The other 80 people have something in between. Half the people average about $6 a day.
Possessions -
In the village there are 50 radios, 45 televisions, 103 telephones (More than 86 are cell phones), and 28 computers. There are also 2 trucks, 10 automobiles, and 20 bikes.
Energy -
76 of the people have electricity and 24 do not
73% of the energy comes from fossil fuels such as coal, oil and, gas that have been pumped and or mined from underground. which pollute and is not good for the Earth.
17% Comes from nuclear power. Which does not pollute.
10% comes from renewable wind and water.
Health -
Malaria is a big problem in the global village.
41 live in an area with malaria, 6 people will get it.
80 people have gotten vacines and will live longer.
The village, past, present, and future
100 people live here now, 1 person lived here in 1,000 B.C.E
in 500 B.C.E, 2 people lived in the village, in 1 C.E 3 people lived there. in 1,000 5 people lived there. In 1500 8 people lived there, in 1650 10 people lived there. In 1800 17 people lived there, In 1900 32 people lived there, and in 2012 there were 100 people in the village!
It will grow about 1.15 people per year. around the year 2150 there will be 250 people in the village!
250 is the maximum amount of people in the village. We will run out of food and basic supplies which we need in our world.
What surprised me is that the world was not just over populated but the rate it was increasing was extremely fast and soon are planet would run out of space. Also the amount of people in the world who don't have access to clean, and fresh water. I wish that everyone had access to fresh water and no children or people would starve, and the fact that people and children are starving because they don'y have enough money to pay for some. I wanted to make sure that no one would starve and that everyone should have clean water so they will not get diseases from unclean water or anything, or they should get full health care. If I could I would try to make sure every kid and parents in Africa will get clean meals and not disease filled water.
