1. What aspect of the PBL Body System unit did you enjoy the most and why?

What I enjoyed about the PBL Body System unit was constructing the project and building more and more to see finally how the project can function. This is because, I was really excited about building the models and taking those steps to really show what to do in the system.

2. What did you learn about yourself related to how you function in a group – what was your role on the team?

I worked individually and I liked how it turned out because I was able to concentrate more, have less distractions, and prove to myself that I can work on my own and be independent.

3. What would you do different the next time you have a big project like this assigned to you?

Next time I would actually work with a partner because for a big project there are a lot of things that are included and for an individual like me, I would have liked someone else to help out.

1) I sketched out my plan of how I wanted to design the digestive system when I am building it and functioning it.

2) I gathered my materials and made the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and small intestine.

3) I gathered more materials and created the large intestine, the rectum, anus, and some wooden teeth for my mouth.

4) I finished my project and then made some finishing touches by making some labels with a cup at the bottom of the rectum to hold the water that was going to squeeze out of the large intestine. Lastly, I included a holder for my system to hold up so that when the food comes down through the tubes it won’t mess up where the different elements will lead up to.

4. Take a few pictures of your model, getting all details documented in the photos

My photos are in front of this question.

1. What have you and your group accomplished this past week?

For the past week, I have accomplished building up my digestive system model including the different parts to make it function.

1. What will be at the top of your “To do” list for next class?

Well first I want to add the small details for example my small intestine needs to show that it has broken down from the stomach to the intestine tube and show the slush transformation. I also need to make the actual project function so I can see if my system will work.

1. What materials will you need to gather before next class?

Before next class I need to gather a piece of food and water for the functioning will happen.

1. What have you and your group accomplished this past week?

What I have accomplished is connecting the tubes and pieces together so they can start looking like the digestive system.

2. What will be at the top of your “To do” list for next class?

My top will be finishing up by putting my last tube in for the large intestine, some teeth inside my mouth, and then finally making it function.

3. What materials will you need to gather before next class?

Before next class I need to gather my materials for the system to move.

1. Post a picture of your model as it stands today (design plan or actual model)

In the top it is designed as the mouth. There is a tube leading down which is the esophagus. Then I labeled the tube toward the stomach which is the plastic bag. Attached duck tape to the bag with a tube leading in circles, the small intestine.

1. What have you and your group accomplished this past week?

What I have accomplished this past week is gathering the materials that I need for my project and design my plan to plot for which object is place where and how can the system function.

2. What will be at the top of your “To Do” list for next class?

The top of my to do list for next class is to get the materials together and place them for the system to move.

3. What materials will you need to gather before next class?

Before next class I need to gather the functioning pieces so when the body moves, it can function well to show how my system works.
