Reasearch Reflection and Magic School Bus

Research Reflection:
For the past month we have been research body systems on our own.

A few things I like about this research is that we get to do out research instead of the teacher telling us what to do. Our teacher gives us very little questions but allows us to go very deep and understand more about that question. We were allowed to go to different websites to find the information we need. I also liked the test. The test is to find out if we did enough research. We were aloud to search the answers to the test if we were stuck.

Things that I didn't like about this kind of research is that sometimes information is very hard to find. Some of the websites you go to will give information about totally different things. The test we received consists of some questions that we didn't even need to research so we had to find more information on the website.

I I think that our teacher Mrs.Smith planned it this way so we can learn to work independently. In the future we might need to do more independent work so this could be a good practice. I also think that it would be easier because then she can just give out 6 questions instead of lots of little questions,

Some suggestions I have for this project is to put a list of websites first. Some of the websites will contain very little information so it was very hard to answer some questions. If there were lots of websites from the start we could have get the information from those sites and then go to different sites. The next suggestion I need to give is about the test. No matter how much I like the idea of looking up the information on the internet to answer questions, I think we shouldn't be able to do that. A person could just go up to the internet and search all the answers for the test.

The Magic School Bus:

Today our class watch Magic school bus. There are correct things but also some flaws.

Some things that were incorrect was that digestion takes almost 10 hours to fully digest so it is imposable to crack the bus in a few seconds. The second flaw was that the digestion takes place in complete darkness so it should be imposable to see what was happening. The last flaw I am going to talk about is they only showed the gib intestine absorb food. The truth is that they both absorbe food.

Some things that were correct is that the stomch acids do help break down food and some things do not get completely break down in the stomach.

2 things that were correct was that

Rioting Hits Greek

A rioting has broke in at least 3 cities with the people and police when a teenager boy was shot. Students has been battling the police for 3 days since the boy was shot dead at Athens on Saturday. But there may be more problems since people are planning to protest in 5 more other places. The two police officers who was connected to the boys death has been arrested. It was said that people were throwing stones at the polices car. Soon after the incident, news, and protests has been spreading across the country at a very fast rate. The Greek government is trying to calm its people but lots of people are blaming the government for its violence.

Problem with Porks

Any meat made form pigs has been removed from supermarkets from the UK. Experts think that the food pigs eat contained a dangerous contagious disease called dioxins which would have effected the meat. However, the risk of getting the disease is low but it is always good to be careful. You don't need to worry, because eating a little bite off a infected meat won't effect your health. But alot of infected meat will put you at a risk. Irland sends out their meat into lots of different places all around the world. France, Germany, Russia, and Netherlands all have pork fon Irland imported there every year. In 2007 130000 tons of Irland pork was sent all over the wrold. The government are saying that they are doing all they could. They are checking some pig farms that they think is the problem. Hopefully this case won't turn out to be similar to the poison milk in China.

Culture and Society

Culture is the art, religion, beliefs, and lifestyle of a certain group of people. society is the relationship within a nation or group of people. Culture and society can often happen at the same time. For example, every nation has its own culture. Chinese people likes to eat rice and go to the temple is a example of culture. Culture has different parts too. Some of the parts are religion, life style, and patterns in human life. However, all of these things can be connected somehow. Lots of people in Taiwan goes to temple to pray to their gods as their lifestyle. But when they are praying to god it is also a religion, and it is a pattern because their children will also do it too. Society and culture can be connected in many different ways.
