Unit 7 Reflection

In this unit we learned about muscles. Muscles are responsible for movement of our bodies and  they also keep us warm. We learned about major muscles of our body, and to do so we had a chicken dissection. In this lab we inspected the chicken´s muscles because they are similar to our own. We also learned about muscle contraction. To view my group´s muscle contraction video, click here! In this unit, I wish we learned about muscle spasms and how pulling a muscle effects a muscle. One concept I found really interesting during this unit was how different athletes from different sports have different amounts of slow and fast twitch fibers. It all depends on how aerobic the sport is, because the more aerobic the sport the more slow twitch muscle fibers the athlete will have. 

As a student this unit, I have been productive in class. I have done a lot of research for my 20 time project and I can wait to continue learning, writing and baking for this project. I have not made progress on my New Years goals. I may have actually done worse this month. I have not gotten much sleep, so I want to modify this goal. My goal is now to spend less time on my phone and devices to manage my time better. This goal seems more realistic.
