Immune system

Our system helps the body stay healthy and not get sick. Without the immune system we would get sick all the time. One thing that we found is that the immune system is made up of 2 parts, the adaptive part and the fighter part. The adaptive part of the system remembers each virus so next time you won’t get sick from it. However, this is only with some sicknesses. An example of a time where this is not true is with strep throat. The second thing that we found is that there are things that could make your immune system weaker like taking drugs or eating unhealthy food.  We want to find out what kind of activities or foods make your immune system stronger? 

Spring Break Reflection

One thing that I found about myself, is that the views of people from different experiences or generations are very interesting. This came up because my dad was talking about politics with my Grandfather who would relate to past events that he had lived through. It is very interesting to learn about what older generations have to say about certain things that are happening now. Since they have been alive for much longer, they might have had experiences that affect their view on a subject. I found that I could have long discussions with my grandfather about current events because of this. It is also interesting to talk to younger children in my family because they haven’t been alive for as long, and have less experience. I want to try and find out what type of events would change someones views if they lived through that event. I would also like to find out why a certain experience would put you in a totally different stand point.

Coat Of Arms

The black shows that my family has certain standards and it’s been that way for a long time. And the dragon shows that we try to keep those standards. The sphere symbolizes our belief in science. The harp shows that we analyze the situation and don’t immediately jump in. The olive branch is a symbol of peace and that we don’t want to fight but will if we have to. The torch shows my families value for education. The red sword symbolizes my great grandparent’s involvement in WWII. The green flowers show the how we want to have peace. The words on the bottom that say education and family show my family’s value for education and family.
