Reflection Questions:

• Do we have cells similar to the aliens you created?  How or why not?
  
• Humans (and probably aliens) have cells that have special functions.  What are some of these cells and what organs and systems are they a part of?  Give at least three examples and be specific. 

Answers:
1. I do not think we do because these aliens live somewhere else and have different features then us. For example in that picture my alien has long legs. But the only reason I did that was to have him be able to live on a rocky environment.
2.One of the cells that humans have is a brain that sense when you are hurting and if you are in a problem it send it to your brain. It is the biggest nerve in the body. Another example is the heart that allows you to breath and pump blood faster or slower depending on how fast you need to go. My final example is the throat. I think that we could not live without it because it allows us to eat and talk. This might be different then an alien because aliens might have a beak to eat berries instead of a mouth.

• Which joint did you choose as our most important joint?
  
• Why did you choose that joint?
  
• What things would be difficult to do without that joint?
  
• What movement can be done without the use of joints? (Example: blinking your eyes)
  

Optional (But fun!): Complete the following RAFT assignment: 

• R: Role: You are one of the joints in your body (your choice)!
• A: Audience: Your audience is you!
• F: Format: A persuasive letter!
• T: Topic: Trying to get you to go easier on them!

Your joint is writing a persuasive letter to you, asking you to be kinder to it by doing (or not doing) several things.  Can you write from that perspective?  Can the joint be persuasive enough to get you to treat it better?  Think about eating, carrying things, what you are wearing, sitting, lifting, exercising, playing sports, etc.  What simple things could you do during your daily routine that would protect your joints?  Have fun writing!

• Questions that I need to answer.
  
• What three basic things do our bodies need in order survive?
  
• If we exert ourselves, what are three (or more) signs that our bodies are in distress?
• What can we do to make these signs go away?

Answers:
1.The basic thing that are body needs to survive are water, food, and sleep.
2.One of them is heavy breathing: This happens because are bodies need more air so that we can push  are selves more of make us go longer. For example long distance runners need to keep a steady breath so that they do not get tired. Another sign of exertion is pain in the muscles: This is a sign of getting stronger in that spot and going past the limit of what that muscle is use to.Heart beating rapidly: This is happening because your heart is trying to pump blood mere rapidly.
3.You can stop working out so that your heart and muscles have a break.

   ANSWERS

1. I was able to observe the apple very well because of how the apple was cut in half and the seeds were removed.

2.The observation and description is very important in science because then you show what you know plus what you have learned to show other people.

3. Now I will rank my senses and how helpful they were.

1.Touch
2. Smell
3. Sight
4.Sound
5.Taste

Questions:

What was the hardest part of this activity?
Which organs do you think you put in the right places?
Which organs do you think are probably in the wrong place?

Answers:

1. The hardest part of this activity was putting the body pats in the right place. We might know what it is, but it was hard to get the part in the right spot. We might have thought it would go in one place but it actually went in another and we could not look up where it was.
2. I think that we put the brain, eyes, lungs, heart, stomach, and small and large intestines in the right place, but they are some of the most obvious places in the body.
3. I think that we got all the rest of them wrong because a big reason is, we didn't know much about them so we pretty much had a small idea of where it went if we even had an idea at all.
