My favorite part of science is probably using the microscopes but I also really like being able to mix materials and do experiments.]]> 2018-01-23 20:03:27 UTC https://padlet.com/talia_simmer/4bmjg37j1vtf/wish/223991823 talia_simmer https://padlet.com/talia_simmer/4bmjg37j1vtf/wish/223995023 Just about my favorite thing ever (except my family) is Harry Potter, I like the movies and the books. But I definitely like the books better. 
Anyway In my family there are two boys and four girls. My Mom and Dad, Me (11) Brinkley (9) Zion (7) and Maeven (4) I also have an aunt, uncle, and baby cousin Lenora.
I've taken dance for about 8-9 years. I've done it since I was 2 or 3. I go to dance at Allison's Dance Center in Cedar Falls. ]]> 2018-01-23 20:09:38 UTC https://padlet.com/talia_simmer/4bmjg37j1vtf/wish/223995023 talia_simmer https://padlet.com/talia_simmer/4bmjg37j1vtf/wish/224850704 This is a picture of a blood smear.  It is an example of connective tissue. A connective tissue is a type of tissue that makes up the bodies structure. I think that the blood smear looks different from the other slides because It has a 
different type of tissue, the connective tissue.]]> 2018-01-25 19:55:22 UTC https://padlet.com/talia_simmer/4bmjg37j1vtf/wish/224850704 talia_simmer https://padlet.com/talia_simmer/4bmjg37j1vtf/wish/224857151 This is an picture of motor neurons. It is an example of nervous tissue. Nervous tissue is a type of tissue that carries electrical messages. I think that this slide looks different from the other cells because the motor neurons are a different type of tissue , nervous tissue, which the other slides don't have.]]> 2018-01-25 20:12:28 UTC https://padlet.com/talia_simmer/4bmjg37j1vtf/wish/224857151 talia_simmer https://padlet.com/talia_simmer/4bmjg37j1vtf/wish/224858930 This is a picture of a small intestine. It is an example of epithelial tissue. Epithelial tissue is a type of tissue that lines the bodies surface and protects the organs. I think that the small intestine looks different from the other slides because it has a different type of tissue, epithelial tissue.

It is an example of  muscle tissue. Muscle tissue is a type of tissue that helps you move. I think that the skeletal muscle looks different than the other slides because it has a different tissue, muscle tissue. ]]> 2018-01-25 20:19:58 UTC https://padlet.com/talia_simmer/4bmjg37j1vtf/wish/224860171 talia_simmer https://padlet.com/talia_simmer/4bmjg37j1vtf/wish/235608442 In the Olympic Games we were told to make three models for curling, ski jumping, and bobsledding. Which meant that we each had to make a model of the rock thing that the curlers push, a person on ski's for ski jumping, and a bobsled for bobsledding. For each of the events I had a partner. My first partner was Jordan.G., my second partner was Hailey.D., and my last partner was Lila.
I learned that making these models were harder to make than they look. You had to work very hard to make a good model and you had to spend your time really carefully along with the materials.If I could do something differently than I would make our model stronger to hold up better. Or make them lighter because the lighter they are the easier they move. For example with Jordan and I's model for the ski jumping was the best model in the class but if I could have I would have made it lighter because then it would have gone faster down the ramp and it would have traveled farther. I think that if it had been lighter we would have gotten a higher place in the Olympics.]]> 2018-02-26 20:09:24 UTC https://padlet.com/talia_simmer/4bmjg37j1vtf/wish/235608442 talia_simmer https://padlet.com/talia_simmer/4bmjg37j1vtf/wish/236584709 One of the tasks that was hard for me to do was the maze. The thing that probably made the maze the hardest is that it was difficult to guide the pencil with all the different turns. I also couldn't really figure out the way. The way I solved my problem is by finding a different way to hold my pencil so that I had more control. Every once in a while I would find a hard task, when this happened I would feel kind of frustrated and then I would try to come up with a new strategy. Having an opposable thumb is very helpful to things that you do. Like for example opening a door or unscrewing your water bottle lid is so much easier with a thumb. Having an opposable thumb allows you to touch your other fingers and you can hold onto things and it just makes things so much easier.

Articulated: Means jointed or joined in sections.
Opposable thumb: Is positioned opposite the other fingers. 
Immobilized: To prevent something from moving. 
Intricate: complicated or detailed.
Compensate: to do something in another way.                                                          Joints: synonym is articulations. 
Ball and socket joint: Where two bones meet and movement is a rotation.
Hinge joint: Where two bones meet, allows movement in one direction. 
Gliding joint: Where two bones meet, allowing limited movement in two directions.
Fixed joint: Where two bones have met and fussed together, therefore they DO NOT MOVE!]]> 2018-02-28 18:49:38 UTC https://padlet.com/talia_simmer/4bmjg37j1vtf/wish/236596347 talia_simmer https://padlet.com/talia_simmer/4bmjg37j1vtf/wish/237588026 During the activity I did "Stiff Thumbs." Even though I didn't actually do it, the activity "Scissors" sounded like one of the hardest to me. I think that it would have been hard because you had to use scissors to cut and without a bendable thumb it would be really hard to cut. If I had done it I probably would have used both hands to control the scissors and if that didn't work I would try different strategies until something worked for me. The thumbs defiantly help with every day tasks. Thumbs can touch all fingers which makes it easier to do easy things like hold a book or open a door. ]]> 2018-03-02 19:58:23 UTC https://padlet.com/talia_simmer/4bmjg37j1vtf/wish/237588026 talia_simmer https://padlet.com/talia_simmer/4bmjg37j1vtf/wish/245192704 So today i'm just going to tell you a little bit about what i've learned during the muscle fatigue activities! Some of the muscular systems functions are to pump blood, to breathe, and to produce body heat! We have more than 600 muscles in our body! There are three types of muscles, The Cardiac Muscle the Smooth muscles and the Skeletal muscles! An example of Cardiac muscle is like the muscle of your heart, for the smooth muscle there is lots of examples like the muscle of the stomach intestines and your esophagus. Voluntary muscles are muscles that you can control, they are the opposite of involuntary muscle which you cannot control. With doing the muscle fatigue activities i learned that the lactic acid comes really quickly and that the muscle fatigue kicks in really fast and makes your muscles really tired. When we were performing these activities the lactic acid was what was making our muscles so tired. That is what I learned during the muscle fatigue activities. ]]> 2018-03-22 19:01:03 UTC https://padlet.com/talia_simmer/4bmjg37j1vtf/wish/245192704 talia_simmer https://padlet.com/talia_simmer/4bmjg37j1vtf/wish/256668528 Well, with the hot water and room temperature washers we had a cup of hot water and inside of it we had a thermometer to give us the temperature. We placed room temperature washers into the water. We got temperatures of 113-Water in cup_113-Water in the control cup_80-Metal washers. In the end we found that the temperature of the water had gone down and the washers up. Our data was, 101-Water in your cup_103-Water in the control cup_89-Metal washers. We did the same with the next investigation but we flip flopped the temperatures so that the metal washers were hot and the water was room temperature. Our data was, 75-Water in cup_75-Water in the control cup_92-Metal washers. In the end we realized that it had done the opposite, Our water temperature went up and the metal washers went down. Our data was, 89-Water in cup_71-Water in the control cup_80-Metal washers. We found out that when the water and washers touched they passed on energy to each other. So basically the hot metal washers would touch the room temperature water and that energy would pass to the water. The hotter something was the cooler it would become and the cooler something was the hotter it would become. ]]> 2018-04-30 19:02:08 UTC https://padlet.com/talia_simmer/4bmjg37j1vtf/wish/256668528
