Planning.

For my 3rd question i have collected and regathered information on how the circulatory systeworks. The info/oral work i have done is this: 


The information about the heart and the chambers:

  How does the Circulatory System work? Well the heart plays a major role in how the system runs. The Circulatory System is seen as a huge blood distribution network and the heart, the main part of the system makes it possible for the blood to reach to our hands, feet and everywhere else.

   The heart has too sides, the right and the left. Each side has a lower and upper chamber. The upper chambers consist of the “atrium” which is thin-walled. The atrium receives blood that enters the heart. Once it enters the heart it then pumps it to the ventricles in the lower heart chambers. In the lower chambers of the heart consist of the “ventricles”. The walls of the ventricles are thicker, they have more cardiac muscle then the atrium does which means that it can pump the blood to the lungs and to the rest of the body.

 How the system actually works (oral): 

   The circulatory system is seen as a blood distribution network. As the heart plays a huge role to getting the blood circulating the blood around the body the system works like this.

   The right side of the heart, in the upper chamber, the atrium is able to receive blood that is carrying carbon dioxide or co2. The blood with the carbon dioxide is able to reach the right atrium via the vein, the vena cava. Once it has reached the atrium it then is delivered to the right ventricle. The right ventricle then pumps the blood to the lungs. Once the blood leave leaves the lungs it is now rich of oxygen or o2, after it has left the lungs it then is delivered to the left ventricle. The left ventricle pumps the rich oxygen blood into the aorta. The aorta is a very important artery it is also the largest and connects to all parts of the body.  Once it has left the aorta it then goes into all the different veins and the blood full of oxygen, nutrients and food is disturbed and shared around your whole body.

Planning.

Since the information i had collected and was going to use was not full correct i have collected more factual information that i have then put in my own words. 


For my part of the presentation (question 3) i am going to describe a picture of the heart and all the different chambers. I will show them the different parts on the slide but on palm cards, explain to them in more detail. On my slide i have a picture of the heart and the chambers. I have labeled the parts i will mention that are in the Circulatory system. These are the pictures i will be providing:

In the first picture the parts of the heart were already label. All i did was highlight the name of the parts that i needed. In the second diagram i already labeled the parts i will be saying on the presentation. I added arrows and text. I decided to leave it plain and to detail it by not reading off the presentation to make it more interesting. I may be hard trying to multi-task but i think i will do okay. 

After that i will go into detail on how the blood is actually distributed to the entire body. I will do this by flow chart. I will provide pictures and in short dot points summaries what i am talking about so they still a visual understand as well as a oral. 

I still have not finished my second question.    

Planning/Resources/Problems

Today we are in the computer room and we are working on our assessments. Today i tried to start working on my slide for the presentation. Keithmae and Jo-raelene have completed there slide but haven't written the oral part yet. I also showed what i have started on the slides and put headings. Also today .. i learnt that the information i had already collected and put in my own words wasn't exactly right. So right now i am looking for more information to back up my information i had found. Although part of it was right, but not entirely. So i have set out to find out more information and the right facts. The post i wrote (this post), the information was not all correct. So right now i am re writing it, so that the facts are right and it's easy to understand. I am also working on my oral part of the presentation so i can talk about it into detail about whats on my slide. 

Resources.

This site is good because it explains the difference parts of the heart and explains how it works. It is able to use information and sue it in a way that young people can even understand. They also give lots of information that is useful. I learnt things about the heart and how it has lots of different parts to it. I also learnt that it isn't the heart that creates the blood, it only pumps the heart and distributes the blood around our body. I also learnt that there is in the circulatory system, the heart is the key part of it.

The Title, Planning.

This is an example of what i worked on last night. I was able to make titles for each slide and able to make them big enough so that it could stilll fit with the information. I made one for all 7 question.s

Circulatory system Video (youtube, resources)

This video is a good explanation of how the circulatory system works. It has information and a visual understand of how it works. It also uses words and information that young teenagers can understand.

Resources, research.

Today we had a lesson in the library to work on the assessment as a group. Individually we are all researching the information about our questions. I have also decided to make a flow chart for question 3 so that the class can understand it with visual understanding. Also sir helped me with a bit of trouble i was having. Which was not knowing how to present the information in a flow chart. Although sir helped me understand and how to do it on google presentation (the site we are using to make the presentation).
