What other system(s) it works with: It works with all the  systems in your body.

Fun facts: 1.Your body has more nerve cells in the human body that stars in the Milky Way(which is our galaxy.) 2.If we were to line up all the neurons in our body, they would reach to be 600 miles long! 3. There are 100 billion neurons in your brain alone. 4. A newborn baby's brain grows almost 3 times the course of it's first year. 5. A newborn baby loses about half of their nerve cells before they are born.

How to keep it healthy: If you have a good nights sleep, your brain will be functioning to it's prime. Possibly meaning that you will have a very healthy and functioning nervous system.

A carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide emitted due to the consumption of fossil fuels by a particular person or a group.  Backward-Looking: To be honest, I really didn't know much about a Carbon Footprint.

If my teacher didn't explain what a carbon footprint was, and someone came up to me and asked, "I know what a carbon footprint is. Do you?" Then I'd probably be all like, "What on earth is a carbon footprint?" Inward-Looking: I thought that the carbon footprint was a bit too complicated for me, but I managed it with the help of my other teammates. I don't really understand why I would dislike some parts because it seemed fine to me.   Outward-Looking:  The grade I would give myself is an ...
