Charity Fair - Project Blog Post


Summary: This project was when we had to research different charities and decide which one was bested suited to our cause. Before this though, we had a debate over which charity type was more beneficial- small charities, or large charities. I learned that a lot of the money just goes to admin costs in large charities. I also learned that smaller charities are a little bit less-known, so they're more unreliable.
Backward-Looking: How much did you know about the subject before we started? I chose the subject of animal abuse for Charity Fair, and before we started, I knew that a lot of animals faced daily abuse and that only a few of the abusers were sentenced to prison. I knew that some animals faced psychological trauma for years when they went to shelters and that some cases were so bad that they were euthanized.

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/work? I quite like this piece of work. I liked making our products for Charity Fair and raising money to help stop animal cruelty. I didn't really have a dislike for anything, to be honest. I enjoyed presenting to spread awareness and I liked selling my product.

Outward-Looking: If someone else were looking at the piece, what might they learn about who you are? If someone else was looking at our finished piece, they'd learn that I like to make things in order to raise money for a cause that I care about. They'd also learn that I like to work in teams.

Forward-Looking: What would you like to spend more time on in school? I would like to spend more time on learning about ornithology and marine biology. I'd also like learn about where some animals get their abilities or appearance- like how the frilled lizard got its ruff. Or an ancient species with venom that was passed down to snakes and other venomous animals.

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
