Something that really surprised me during this activity was how much people that were poor. There were tons of people that were poor and a lot of people that were rich. 10% people have 85% of all the money in the village, so in real life 6.3 billion people share that 15% left over from the people who are rich. The poorest 10 people in the village have less than 2$ a day! To me that is crazy and super unfair to the people who can afford proper food and shelter. Then the people who are more wealthy get plenty of food and have better shelter. Something that upset me was that the money isn't very balanced at all and the people who have so much money that they don't know what to do with should donate to a charity at least. There's so much people that don't have any money and could really use at least some money, otherwise their life is at risk. Something that made me want to improve a situation is that not enough people are getting the right education. There were lots of people who needed education and didn't get it, even some people that were adults! The kids that aren't getting education won't be ready for life later on and you also pretty much need proper education to do just about anything, including jobs. Also there is only one teacher for all of the kids that are attending school!
Reflection
"Hey do you see that? It looks like some kind of light out in the distance." Jim asked.
"Yeah I do see something" Dave replied. They walked closer and closer until something caught Jim's eye and It looked like some kind of house but with no clear way to get up. "Dude...There's a house out there don't you see it?" Jim said like he was scared. "That really looks creepy, maybe we should go....check it out? That is unless your too scared!" Dave scoffed. "Pfff! No way Dave, unless you can find a way up there man." Reflection How many bones did your model need? How many muscles did it need? It needed 2 muscle and 1 bone.
- How were your pretend muscles similar to real muscles? Different? They were similar because they acted like a real elbow when relaxing and contracting our elbow joint. - What changes occur to the real muscles in the human body to make them pull on bones? The Triceps relax and let the arm go down and the Biceps contract and pull the muscle upward. - What would happen if the ligaments of the models were overstretched or torn? How would it affect the way the models could operate? If they were torn then the model would not be able to bend and the whole thing wouldn't work the way
Reflection Then answer these questions as well:
1. Can you feel it when your pupils dilate? No you can not feel it. 2. Do you have any control over your pupils when they dilate? No you don't have any control. 3. What do we call this when a reflex happens without our control? Involuntary muscles. 4. Why do our pupils get bigger in the dark and smaller in the light? They get bigger in the dark because there is no light at all so their pupils won't get hurt unlike the light your pupils have to close and get smaller so the light doesn't burn the rods and cones behind our eyes. 5. How does this reflex protect our eyes? If you put your hands in front of your eyes you can block it from anything that is coming to hit them.
Reflection Questions 1. How many heart beats did you think you would have in one year before extrapolating? I thought it was going to be around 20,000,000. Were you close or far off? I was kind of close I guess but at the same time far off.
