Rediscovering Myself
Hello! Today, I am going to tell
you about the Unit of Inquiry. Our new unit that we are doing is ‘Rediscovering
myself’. Right now we are on the 2nd line of inquiry how we change
as we grow.
We have done the different body
systems. There are a lot of different body systems but the ones that we worked
on are:
Ë
Circulatory system
Ë
Digestive system
Ë
Nervous system
Ë
Respiratory system.
We had to research about the
function of the system, the organs and the function, our responsibility towards
the system and the systems’ connection with the other systems. Our
presentations were very informative.
Now we are on the 2nd
line of inquiry- How we change as we grow. We have learnt a lot of interesting
facts about ourselves. We have learnt about endocrine and exocrine. Endocrine means
a gland that secretes directly into the blood or lymph. Basically you can’t see
an endocrine gland but you can see an exocrine gland. Exocrine means like all
the sweat, tears and a lot more.
We have also learnt about the
male and the female reproductive parts. We wondered if you’re a girl why do you
have to know about the male’s reproductive part and if you’re a boy why do you
have to know about the females reproductive parts. Well we have to learn about
them because we have to be sensitive towards what the male or female is going
through. We should not make fun of them and above all- this is an inevitable
change! It happens to everybody and you can’t stop it .You can only prepare
yourself for it.
In the reproductive parts, we
learnt that when the male’s sperm comes to the female and fuses with the egg,
its then that’s the beginning of the formation of a baby. The main difference
between the male and female growth is that females get curvier and the hips get
more weight and for the males they gain weight and they grow hair on their
face. The two genders are different while growing because female becomes
pregnant but male does not become pregnant.
We understood the importance of learning
this unit because it helps us prepare for the forthcoming changes.
