10th week #2

Mr. Kuhn told us which vocabularies we had to look up for this chapter, and I finished it pretty fast. There were only about 20 of them, which is way less than the previous chapter.

That's basically the only thing we did today.

10th week #1

Today, it was our first lecture after the spring break, so we have started the next chapter.

Endocrine system seems like it would just be like the nervous system but the good thing is it sounds less complicated than that.

I am excited for what we will be studying from now. This is our last quater at Wasatch!

9th week #2

So Mr. Kuhn was gone today on the last day before spring break. He just let us work on our websites, and blogs. Mr. English was weird when he first came into our class room. He started saying stuff what Leonardo Dicaprio said in the movie, "Inception." He is pretty funny :p

I am soooo excited for the break! Although I have homework assignment from AP biology. 

9th week #1

Todayyy we had a test on chapter 9 and 10. Chapter 9 was about the nervous system, and chapter 10 was about the five senses. Chapter 9 mostly talked about the touch and how the nervous work. Chapter 10 talked more about other four senses; how we taste, how we hear, how we smell, and how we see. The eye structure is so complicated.... There are so many structures and functions. If we didn't have the note card, I would have failed.
I didn't do so well and I couldn't even finish the test on time, but so kind of Mr. kuhn. We will be able to work on the test on Thursday as well :-)

I hope I will do fine on this test though.... I don't want to be nervous about the test during spring break

8th week #2

Today, we watched the video that talks about smell and taste. We haven't finished it yet, but I enjoyed it. Basically they are trying to figure out what the worst smell in the world is, in this video. Also they were doing the competition of how many red pepper they can eat in limited time. It looked so spicy!

Also one man caught a skunk, and made it sprayed at himself the super stinky liquid. And he walked around the city to see what other people would do. Of course it smelt so bad, so everyone just looked at him and gave the bad look, or just walked away from him. It was pretty funny.

I have never smelt skunk, but I would like to try. I don't want to get sprayed though....

8th week #1

Today, we had a lecture about taste. We have 5 main tastes on the tongue: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. Umami is close to agreeable, good in Japanese. I did not know that they used Japanese term for this.
Also we licked this piece of paper, and saw what it tasted like. I didn't taste anything, but a lot of people were saying that it tasted very bitter. They went to drink some water too. I tried it last year in Biology class, but I didn't taste anything then either.

AND next Monday is our blogs/websites due day....I have to work on my chapter 10 website.

7th week #2

Today, Sarah Karr's father came to Wasatch and he talked about stem cells. Actually, Mr. Kuhn gave me study hall because I was at his lecture already during A block. Basically, he talked about what a stem cell is. How it is used, and what for. Just like the homework we were given. I thought it was pretty interesting to know how a clone is made. Even though it is not allowed to clone a human, I would like to make one of myself if it was allowed.
