Gizmo of the week: Homeostasis and Human Homeostasis

Sorry about the confusion because there are TWO gizmos on Homeostasis, one is called Human Homeostasis and the other one just Homeostasis.  I've included some sample answers to help you see if you understood the activity.

 

 

Human Homeostasis: Adjust clothing, perspiration, and exercise to maintain a stable internal temperature as the external temperature changes. Water and blood sugar levels need to be replenished regularly, and fatigue occurs with heavy exercise. Severe hypothermia, heat stroke, or dehydration can result if internal stability is not maintained.

 

We begin reading Evolution by Daniel Loxton

Today we will learn about the Digestive System 

 

 "Perception is Not Always Reality" includes several illusions. You can go to Nearpod.com or use the Nearpod app to see a preview of the illusions.
