Homeostasis
For this project we first had to chose a way our body maintains homeostasis and describe it in full detail. To describe it we had to createe a lab report. We then created an experiment that proves how our body does it.
Elements in a lab report:
Abstract: CLEAR paragraph explaining your overall claim, experiment, evidence, and analysis.
Introduction: background information (how homeostasis should occurs) and hypotheses,
Materials and methods: what was your procedure and what is needed for your procedure. (What is your sample size, requirements to be in the test, and justification for both)
Results: what data did you collect in sentence form
Discussion and conclusion: what does your data mean, what went well, what did not go well, where there any errors, what other tests should be done?
Works cited: where did you get your introduction information from

Content:
Homeostasis:the tendency toward a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes
Urine:a watery, typically yellowish fluid stored in the bladder and discharged through the urethra
Liver:filters and processes blood as it circulates through the body
Kidney: take creatinine out of the blood and put it in the urine to leave the body
Waste System: is the elimination of the waste products of metabolism and to drain the body of used up and broken down components in a liquid and gaseous state
Equalibruim:a state in which opposing forces or influences are balanced
Blodd cells:any of the kinds of cells normally found circulating in the blood
Electrolytes:are certain nutrients (or chemicals) present in your body that have many important functions
Toxin:an antigenic poison or venom of plant or animal origin, especially one produced by or derived from microorganisms and causing disease when present at low concentration in the body
Urinary System:consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and the urethra
REFELCTION:
This project by far has been my favorite one this year. I loved the independence given for this project. We were given very few guide lines for this project and we could have chosen any problem to help fix. Even though I loved this project I still think both my group and I could have improved. First off, my group could have spent less time on our phones. A way to fix this is put all our phones face down in the middle of the table so no one will be distracted by them. We could also have been less social with other groups. A way to stop that is designate one person all day to keep the group in check. Some things we did good was making sure everyone had a part in the project. For example, on the research phase everyone was searching something different and taking notes. Another thing we did good was finishing our work on time. We finished our presentation a day earlier so we were able to practice our presentation many times. This was helpful because our group looked very well rehearsed when it came to the presenting day. In the end, I would love to do this project again.
