Project Blog (9|23|16) - Cell Wars (President of Cell-land: Who is the best organelle?)

Summary: During this week, we had to turn in our video along with the rest of our project (video link: CLN (Cell-land News CELL WARS GOLGI BODIES INTERVIEW)). We also had to post smears, which was basically roasting other teams in order for our candidate to win. Smearing was when you put up a post putting other candidates (future presidents of cell-land, which were the given organelles) in a bad light so our candidate could win.

 Backward-Looking: In what ways have you gotten better at this kind of work? 
I have gotten better at this kind of work (video editing) because I know how to use a certain type of video editing software properly, or at least enough to produce a good music video with a few classmates. Another way I have gotten better at this kind of work is uploading. Last year, we were told to do a project, and I had no idea how to upload my video from iMovie to my Google Drive, and I had to seek help from another classmate, who told me how. This year, I know how to upload properly and how to video edit.

 Inward-Looking: How do you feel about this piece of work? What parts of it do you particularly like? Dislike? Why? What did/do you enjoy about this piece of (or? the question set had or in the question, but I put 'of' just in case) work? 
I feel very proud and satisfied with this piece of work, from the smear post to the video. A part of the project that I particularly enjoy would have to be the video, considering I spent a lot of time at home, editing, fixing the volumes, and cutting out parts that didn't go well. I do not have any dislikes about the project. As I mentioned before in this overly large paragraph, my favorite part of the project was the video, because of the time I spent into video editing, and I overall enjoyed watching the video.

 Outward-Looking: Did you do your work the way other people did theirs? In what ways did you do it differently? In what ways was your work or process similar? Yes... and no. The yes: I did do my work the way other people did theirs, collaborating with my team, planning smears against other candidates, collecting facts about our organelle which was the Golgi apparatus, more commonly known as the Golgi bodies. The no: instead of filming ourselves, like our people-selves, I filmed using straws and paper. Another way we did our project differently was I used my iPad and an app called iMovie to film.

 Forward-Looking: What would you change if you had a chance to do this piece over again? 
I would fix the questions, as the last couple of questions don't really mention much about our organelle. The only part that has our organelle's function is the first question: Why would you be fit for president? That's where I respond: Because I am reliable, I care about the people, and I store and pack your food.

The Circulatory (Cardiovascular) System

The Structure & Function: What is the function of the circulatory system?   The job of the circulatory   system works on circulating blood, lymph, nutrients, oxygen, other gasses, and hormones throughout the body, hence the name circulatory system. The circulatory system also balances temperature and pH balance while protecting the body from diseases. The circulatory system consists of the heart, blood vessels, blood, lymph, and the lymphatic glands & vessels. https://s3.amazonaws.com/classconnection/128/flashcards/8043128/png/insideheart1328771781022-14DEA48509547B9E19F.png What are the names and functions of the major organs in the circulatory system?  The names & functions of the major organs in the circulatory system are... Heart (cardiovascular): The heart is an organ that pumps blood through the body, providing oxygen & nutrients to the tissues (such as muscles).

The Renal (Excretory, Urinary) System

Image
The Structure & Function:  What is the function of the renal system? The function of the renal system is the eradication of wastes manufactured by homeostasis (this word comes from two combined words in Greek: "homeo" meaning similar, & "stasis" meaning stable). The organs that are used in this process are the lungs, the liver, & the kidneys. What are names & functions of the major organs in the renal system? The names & functions of the major organs in the renal system are... Kidneys: the kidneys are organs that receive the waste from the body. The kidneys then percolate things from the waste, such as salt, urea, & excess water which is disposed from the body as urine. Skin: The skin executes its function through sweat glands. Sweat is used to cool us off as well as to get rid of unwanted oils, salt, water, and other gratuitous elements that ooze from small pores in the skin. Lungs: The lungs, an important organ in both th

10/24 Interdependence of Organisms

Image
              Interdependence of Organisms The interdependence of organisms is when organisms depend on each other for food to survive. Their whole reason to survival is so that they can live long enough to reproduce.  Backward Looking - Reflection: If an animal disappears from the rainforest then the animal who depends on this dying species for it's survival will also die due to lack of food. And so on and so on. Also it will affect the animal/plant that it does eat, meaning if the humming bird disappears from the rainforest or other biomes it will affect flowers or other plants, meaning they will over populate or under populate and that biome/rainforest will not have a healthy balances of plants and animals. Inward Looking - Reflection: I liked the work that I did this week because I could understand all the animals and the food chains/webs. I also liked it because of the fun activities that we did.I liked it because instead of using everyday textbooks, we get to google thi
