In the muscular system there are a lot of muscles but 3 of them are Biceps triceps and 
  • muscles pair together and help each other
  • Muscles pull but not push
  • They also relax and contract


​
  1. What was hard for you during this activity?
  2. What was fun?
  3. Explain how your biceps and triceps work to bend your arm at the elbow. Use the following words in your answer:
  4. biceps & triceps
  5. contract & relax
  6. cartilage
  7. ligaments
  8. tendons
  9. humerus & ulna/radius
  1. It was hard to make it work and make the muscles make it all work. It has to be a certain way.
  2. Yes! It was so much fun because we got to build something on our own. When you get to build I think it is fun to be creative.
  3. When you pull the balloon which is the muscle it pulls ligament that uses cartilage to keep the bone from rubbing together and it moves the paper towel rolls and it uses the tendons to relax and contract. the two bones are humerous and the ulna/radius.

  3. Why do you think it is worth one hour each week to dedicate to this program?
  1. I hope to learn about what other places around the world is like. I think learning about different places is really fun.
  2. I will consider it advanced because I had period and capitols and I had my best spelling. If I didn't have that I wouldn't have to advanced level.

  2. What things did you agree closely with the class on?
  3. Which joint do you think is most important? Why?
  4. Which joint do you think is least important? Why?
Answers:
  1. Yes I was. I was because I hade ones that I thought were really important were actually at the bottom of the class average. I was really surprised.​
  2. That the jaws were the most important because the jaws are an important part of the body. With out it you wouldn't be able to eat which means you would starve.
  3. The jaws because without it you would starve. That is why I think the jaws are one of the most important joints.
  4. I thought it was the ankles because you could just use a wheel chair. That is why I think that even though the class average was the wrists.

​​         ​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?
Answer:
  1. ​​The three main things our bodies need is food water and air. Other wise we would die.
  2. When we exert ourselves three signs that we are doing that is when you start to sweat. Another thing is when your face starts to turn red. One more thing is that you start panting or breathing heavy. Our bodies do all this stuff because when we start to do all this stuff because our bodies are normally just calm like when we walk or are just doing normal things and when we start going fast and not being calm and doing those normal things we start to get tired because our heart is pumping faster and we start breathing heavy because we start breathing more and our lungs need more air.
  3. To make these signs go away is to stop exerting your self because if you take a break you can let your body catch up to what it was before. Other wise if you kept exerting yourself then you would have to stop cause your body gets too tired.

  1. ​I really liked this book! I liked how it ended by Jessie's grandmother came to New York and Jessie and Lou getting married with Jessie's moms ring. I didn't like how Jessie had to wait 3 years before she could see her grandmother and that the were both sad in that period of time.

    I am Nicole Marino, a dentist from Rome Italy. I think that it would be very important to have a dentist on Mars because we will all want good clean teeth so that we can easily eat. I also think it is important because nobody wants cavities and being on Mars not everyone will know how to take care of their teeth properly.
