Final Post of COOP :/

In coop, I have learned that marks do not define what I am capable of. Marks is not the most important thing, the most important thing is what I have learned.

So think about it.  When were you surprised by the way something actually works?  When did you have a "lightbulb" moment, when something really made sense?  When did learning about a topic end up giving you more unanswered questions?  When did you feel amazed?  When did you work away at something until it started to make sense to you?  These feelings are what learning is.  And who is the one person who can make this learning happen?  Your teacher?  Your friends?  Nope.  It's you.

The most surprising thing was learning how the heart actually works. At first, I didnt get it but I was actually interested in how it works so I started to search and watch videos about it. Making the heart video was good for me because I got to explain how it really works which felt good to do.

The Unit I wanted to learn the most was the muscle system because it was the most interesting to me. Learning about the movements and names of each muscle was very interesting. My favorite part was creating the Muscle video to show the movements of some of them

Goldstone PE Buddy - Final Reflection

Goldstone PE Buddy - Final Reflection

1. What adjustments and improvements did you make in your lessons (structure, activities, organization, instructions) from the first lesson to the last one?
     We explained the activity clearer and organized the equipment faster. 

2. What was the biggest challenge for your group?  For you?
    The biggest challenge for the group was thinking of what activities to do next because we wanted them to have fun.

3. Describe your favourite moment as a leader and explain why.

     My favorite moment as a leader was building a bond between the little buddies because in the end, the buddies became open with us.

4. What do you still need to work on?  What improvements would you make if you were continuing teaching for another month?
     Research on interesting activites kids would enjoy. 

PE Buddies -

1. What are some of the things that you learned being a PE buddy?
     The one thing I learned most being a PE buddy is patience. Dealing with these kids comes with patience. We learned how hard it is to teach and deal with the little buddies and over the time, we gained the skill of being patient with them.

2. Did your comfort level change over the course of the month?  Why or why not?
      Yes because we got to be open with the kids after the few days teaching them.

3. What was your favourite part of being a buddy?  Be specific.
    My favorite part of being a buddy was being role models to them. I think they looked up to us because we were older and it was kinda fun.

Vital Capacity

Tidal Volume: regular breaths.

Vital Capacity: maximum air you can breath out.

Residual Volume: amount of air you have left.

Expiratory Reserve Volume: the air you can breath out on top of your regular breath.

Inspiratory Reserve Volume: the air you can breathe in on top of your regular breath.

Procedure:

1. Reset the dial on top of the spirometer to 0L.

2. Using the spirometer and the sterilized mouthpiece, take a very deep breath and exhale forcefully through the mouthpiece. The dial will indicate the volume of air exhaled.

3. Keep your mouthpiece while your partner tests their vital capacity, and then try again.

4. Record results below.

Observations: 

NAME                                     VITAL CAPACITY (L)

Raffy                                       3400L

Identify the female in the class with the greatest vital capacity:

Not sure

Identify the male in the class with the greatest vital capacity:

Karanveer/ Harsh

Questions:

1. A normal tidal volume is only 500mL because that is the average amount of air inspired during relaxed and regular breathing.

2. The rising amount of CO2 in the blood stream will lower the pH. The medulla oblongata  will sense these changes and increase the ventilation rate.

3. Activities such as cardiovascular endurance increase the amount of CO2 entering the blood stream thus triggering medulla oblongata. 

4. Four factors affecting a persons vital capacity are, their fitness level, height, sex, and body size.

5. When you exercise your lungs need more vital nutrients and in order to provide them with all the required nutrients the lungs expand more so they are able to distribute it all correctly. 

6. If there is no air left in the lungs the lungs become deflated. To prevent the deflation aka a collapsed lung a certain amount of air has to reside in the lungs to fill the space.

Fetal Pig Dissection

Observations 

The pig was bigger than I thought. It weights around 4 pounds and it kinda reminded me of a human fetal for some reason. According to Tishaunna, you can feel the toothless gums when you stick your hand in the mouth which seems interesting to me. When Tishaunna was cutting the stomach open, all the organs I saw looked very interesting.
