Human Body Systems Normal VS Nefarious 1/29/17

Image result for body systems

Summary:
The nervous system controls thinking, moving, hearing and more. It uses information from yourself and the world around you to command your body and tell it what to do. This system is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. The nervous system can perform functions without you having to think such as your heart beating. The circulatory system is powered by the heart and covers your entire body. Blood vessels carry blood to the heart and veins carry blood away from the heart. The circulatory system transports food and oxygen throughout your body. In addition, it gets rid of waste through the blood. The muscular system is in charge of controlling walking, talking, sitting, standing, eating and other daily functions that people consciously perform. This is done by muscle fibers that work together. The respiratory system takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. In this system the lungs are the main organ, but there are others that act as passageways for the oxygen to pass through. Muscles in you chest support the respiratory system and help move the air through your body.

S&EP-Using Models:
This week our task was to create a villain that would dispute with our superhero. Our task was to create a super villain that had a normal mode and a nefarious mode. As well as that, we had to pick four different body systems that would change when in nefarious mode. What I did was I did all the drawings at once. This was to help me make sure that they matched, made sense together, and that in the nefarious mode if I changed a system it worked with the drawing of my villain. As well as doing the drawings before the writing allowed me to visualize what I was going to write.

 XXC-System And System Models:
As mentioned above, we were give the assignment of redesigning or recreating body systems for our super villains while they are in a nefarious of evil state. For example, I enhanced the quality of the muscles. When you work out (fighting for him) your body repairs or replaces damaged muscle fibers through a cellular process where it fuses muscle fibers together to form new muscle protein strands. These repaired myofibrils increase in thickness and number to create muscle growth. So when ever he fights, he get's stronger. Also, I changed the nervous system. What happens in nefarious mode is that he gains more nerves. With this, he has faster reflexes and sharper senses. That brings me to my next body system, the eyes. Two things happen one thing that happens is eye color change. This happens via the iris. The pupil becomes larger and the pigments in the iris compress, changing the color. He also gains the power of heat ray vision, he absorbs energy from the sun, then he lets go of this energy via a laser blast. Last but not least, the skin changes. What happens is that my villain can transform his body tissue into an organic, steel-like substance. Which automatically grants him lots of extra armor. His armored form can withstand ballistic penetration as well as temperature extremes from 70º above absolute zero (-390º F) to approximately 9000º F Changing these systems made them better in a way, but allowed me to see how they work.

Amedeo Avogadro - 5/27/18

Image
Summary : Amedeo Avogadro was an Italian scientist who created what is now known as Avogadro's law. Known as a founder of the atomic-molecular theory, he was the first scientist to realize that elements could exist in the form of molecules rather than as individual atoms. His biggest contribution to science, Avogadro’s law, states that equal volumes of gasses under the same conditions of pressure and temperature will contain an equal number of molecules. Amedeo Avogadro was born on August 9th 1776 to Filippo Avogadro and Anna Maria Vercellone. Coming from a family of lawyers, Advogadro was guided to a legal career, and became a bachelor of jurisprudence in 1792. Despite a successful legal career; Avogadro has started private studies of mathematics and physics, which then he pursued full time. SP8 - Communicating Information : This week, I communicated information in the form of a wanted poster about a certain scientist. I decided to create a wanted poster about Am...

Roller Coaster Project Blog - 2/18/18

Summary : A roller coaster ride is a thrilling experience which involves a lot of physics. Part of the physics of a roller coaster is the physics of work and energy. The ride often begins as a chain and motor which exerts a force on the train of cars to lift the train to the top of a vary tall hill. Once the cars are lifted to the top of the hill, gravity takes over and the remainder of the ride is an experience in energy transformation. At the top of the hill, the cars possess a large amount of potential energy. Potential energy is dependent upon the mass of the object and the height of the object. As the cars descend the first drop they lose much of this potential energy in accord with their loss of height. The cars subsequently gain kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is dependent upon the mass of the object and the speed of the object. Therefore, their original potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy. Backward-Looking:  How much did you know about the subject befor...

The Designer Species Project - Project Blog 11/5/17

Summary: The Fobra is a new species of frog with the body of a red-eyed tree frog, the eyes of an owl, the fangs of a king cobra, and the claws of a squirrel. Since the fobra lives in planet C, a tropical planet with much rainforest and vegetation, our frog can "nest" itself in the plants to stay warm. To stay cool the fobra can soak itself in puddles and absorb the moisture. The fobra is also a warm-blooded animal. The fobra uses both its tongue and teeth to eat, depending on the size of animal it is eating. With the claws similar to squirrels, the fobra will be able to get away and climb up on trees faster, making predators unable to get it. As well having the bite similar to the king cobra, our species will bite predators when it feels threatened or scared by predators that are after them. The fobra will be able to strike extremely quickly, like a cobra, in self-defense. Red-eyed tree frogs will lay clutches of eggs on the underside of leaves that are standing abo...
