Sensitivity | Nervous System

L.I: To define sensitivity and respective functions in the human nervous system.
This week for inquiry my group, the quizzers, have been working on completing the compulsory and elective tasks for sensitivity about the nervous system. My group, the quizzers, is made up of 5 people - Me, Farzana, Lukah, Mojtaba, and Matthew. Our group has finished all of the Compulsory Task. The task we complete to earn credits are split into two categories or topics, the compulsory and the elective. There are four compulsory tasks and seven elective tasks. The Rubric can show how much credits we earn for completing a task. I have decided to show all our work on a google slide so it could be faster. In the google slide I took a screen shot of the completed task and a description on what we had to do. My group the quizzers so far have 9 credits. The tasks we have done are - Song Lyrics, Explanation, Double Sequence Chart, Venn Diagram, Poetry/Prose, and Presentation. We chose our group names to do with the topic for inquiry so we picked the quizzers. We chose these groups because everyone in the group is good at different things. Victoria is good at blogging, Farzana is good at multitasking and getting things done fast, Matthew is good at , Lukah is good at drawing, and Mojtaba is good at helping people.

Nervous System

L.I: To plan and write an explanation.
This week for writing we had to write a explanation on the nervous system. First we watched a rhyming song on the nervous system which you can watch here - How the Nervous System Works. The video helped us learn about what the nervous system is before writing about it. Mr Wong created a coggle which he used to do a little bit of planning as a class. On the coggle there were parts for an introduction, explanation and conclusion for ideas we could write, words to search up, and Scientifically words. I have an image of the coggle above. We need to remember the DLO we made on an explanation to help us remember how to write one. Then we had to make a copy of a explanation planner which had 3 boxes for the introduction, explanation, and conclusion planning. Under the planner we had to write the real explanation. Our focus was writing a good introduction and conclusion. My writing turned out to be more of a information report than an explanation but my introduction and conclusion was good.

Nerves

L.I: To search for research materials appropriate for our reading levels.
This week for reading we had to find out information about nerves, specifically what is a nerve, what do nerves do, and how do nerves work which was also our challenge. We had to create a D.L.O but not a poster and write what is the challenge and how am I meeting the challenge. I chose to create this on a google slide because I had a lot of information to put on for separate topics. For the challenge we had to find 4 different sources of information - library book, school journal, internet text, and a video. Ways and search engines we can use or do to find those sources are - Library book search or the green book with all the contexts for the library books, journal surf for the school journal, google for the internet text, and YouTube for the video. One failure I found in this challenge is that I didn't use any information from the videos I picked but instead from the site I picked and from a different video. A success I found of this challenge was that I was able to find out the information I need and I can explain what a nerve and nervous system is in a short description.
