Cellular Respiration Process | Video


L.I: To create a informational video about the cellular respiration process.
This week for inquiry, my group The Quizzers had to create a presentaion about the cellular respiration process. First we had to learn more so we were taught a lesson on it and then tested our knowledge. We could go for 1 credit, 2 credits, 3 credits, or 4 credits. We wanted to go for 4 credits but we thought it would be to hard so we decided to go or 1 credit. The presentaion is shown above. We talk about important things apart of the cellular respiration and extra info as well. We still have 40 credits and are going to use them for questions in the real quiz.

Circulatory System | Compulsory Tasks




L.I: To describe the structures and respective functions in the human respiration system and circulatory system.
This week for inquiry we had been working on the respiratory system which the system that pumps blood the through body. Our focus is this week is the circulatory system which is apart of the respiratory system. This week my group and I, The Quizzers which is - Me, Farzana, Lukah, Mojtaba and Matthew, have completed two compulsory tasks. The ones this week are Explanation, Fishbone, Poetry/Prose, and Sculpture. The ones we have completed are the Fishbone which we got 1 credit for and Poetry/Prose which we got 2 credits for. We also bought a Q&A session for 5 credits so we have 40 credits now. We asked some questions to give us some Ideas for questions and some questions for help with the tasks.

Respiratory System | Compulsory Tasks


L.I: To define respiration.
For the next 2 weeks we will be covering the different sections of breathing body systems which is the Respiratory system, The Cellular Respiration, and Circulatory System. This week the body system we have been doing the Respiratory System. My group and I were able to complete some tasks today and are still working on some for the compulsory tasks. My group name is The Quizzers which includes Me, Farzana, Lukah, Mojtaba, and Matthew. The compulsory tasks this week are Sculpture, Fishbone, Explanation, and Poetry/Pose. I have completed 2 sculptures, and we are working on the explanation, poetry, and the fishbone which all are almost complete. I have shown photos I took of the two sculptures. I did the lungs with some help from Farzana and The windpipe on my own. For the sculpture we have to add labels to show the parts of the organ. We used a pencil, paper, toothpicks, glue, and scissors to make the labels and the play-dough to sculpt the organ. I also have shown the progress of the fish bone so far.

Digestive System | Nutrition | Compulsory Tasks

 
LI. To explain what the main organs in the digestive system do. 
This week for inquiry we had to finish the compulsory tasks. Mojtaba, Matthew, Lukah, and Victoria did this activity. They got two credits for this. We had to write the main organs in the circle and the out it the more unrelated the organs are. We colored the circle in our favourite colors. Mojtabas favourite color is red, Matthews favourite color is cyan, Victorias favourite color is baige and Lukahs favourite green. Then we had to write a description.
LI. To describe the structures and perspective functions in the human digestive system. 
This week for inquiry we had to finish the compulsory tasks. I drew the digestive system and tried my best. I got two credits for The Quizzers which is my group. We are now on to sixteen credits. My group is trying to get twenty five credits so each one of us can buy one question. 

LI. To define digestion. 
This week for Inquiry we had to finish the compulsory tasks. Victoria and I did this presentation. I used my research skills in order to find some of the information. We explained two of the related organs that help the digestive system such as- Liver, and Kidney. The kidneys wash the blood and take all the waste products from the blood into the gallbladder which gets stored then released.


Earthworm digestive system


The earthworm digestive system is a complex cycle, the cycle starts with- prostomium, pharynx, esophagus, crop, gizzard, intestine, and anus. A digestive system is a group of organs or body parts helping something or someone digest the food they have been given or eating.

Earthworms swallow food through the mouth. A flap, called the prostomium under the mouth holds the worm’s food in.

The food travels down to the pharynx. It gets lubricated in mucous, which makes it slimy and slick.

The slimy food travels down the esophagus. It gets mixed with calcium carbonate which neutralizes the acid.

The crop is a storage zone. The slicky food gets mixed together again.

The gizzard churns and mixes the food. The gizzard churns the food for the earthworms because they have no teeth to grind the food themselves; in the food there is very tiny rocks and sand grains that helps grind the food, also a chemical digestion starts in the gizzard.

The paste then travels to the intestine. The volume of the earthworm body is made up of the intestine, the food passes through the earthworm and intestine, while it travels through kind of bacteria starts to break food down, so the blood vessels that line the intestine can take in the nutrients into parts of the body.

When all the waste travels to the end of the intestine the anus will take all the waste out so it can be a healthy earthworm. It will release its urine, the digestive system’s style is a complex cycle or system.

Prostomium covers mouth, food in pharynx, into esophagus, crop stores food, gizzard churns food, travels intestine, exits anus.

This process or cycle is like the human digestive system because humans have acid in the stomach that breaks down the food or chunks we have not chewed.

LI. To compare digestion in humans and other living organisms. 
This week for inquiry we had to finish the compulsory tasks. I wrote a eighteen sentence explanation because we did this for writing. We did the earthworm digestive system. I think the earthworm digestive system is complex. I got one credit for my group, we now have sixteen credits in total.
