Epic Kidney Animation and Homework for Wednesday

Yesterday you worked in groups to review what you saw in the video last night.  After putting all of your ideas on the board, you toured the other groups work, asking questions and adding comments.

We reviewed some of the major concepts in the crash course video as well as learned about ADH (anti-diuretic hormone).    Click the picture below to link to the animation.

Osmoregulation and The Kidney

Today you had a reading quiz on osmoregulation and we started to look at how waste is expelled though the body.

Tonight watch the Crash Course video below.  Watch it once and ONLY watch.  Don't write anything down as you watch.  When the video is finished, take five minutes and write down what you remember.  Then watch the video a second time.  Again ONLY watch. At the end of the video, write down what you remember the second time.  Did you remember something new?  Are you building on what you wrote down the first time?




And in honor of election day, check out "Behind the Curtain Project" that documents atypical polling locations.

Homeostasis

On Monday / Tuesday we started to learn about homeostasis.

You did a jig saw activity to see how carbon dioxide, blood pressure and temperature regulation can all be regulated through feedback mechanisms.  Click the picture below to link to a tutorial on feedback mechanisms in our bodies.
