Your Skin and What's Within
Study/Learn
I. Take notes in your CBP on each of these videos as you watch them. Write down 2 quiz questions per video on strips of paper for our quiz. You will bring your strips of paper into class and put them into a bowl. Write the answer to your question on the back of the strip of paper. Memorize the answers to your own questions. It will be good for your team.
If I do my math right, there are 5 videos, so if you come up with 2 questions per video, that would be 10 questions total.
Did I do the math right?
The Integumentary System (10 min)
The Digestive System Part 1 (10 min)
The Digestive System Part 2 (10 min)
The Urinary System Part 1 (10 min)
The Urinary System Part 2 (10 min)
II. In the book A Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe, read or skim chapter 5. Spend about an hour total in this book and with its assignments. Specifically, read about the Fibonacci sequence on page 117, because then some of the later artwork in the chapter will make more sense, and it's just flat-out SUPER COOL!
1. Write down 5 interesting discoveries that you find from the book.
2. Choose an activity/artwork to do from the book. Choose 1 of the following, or anything else from the chapter that looks interesting. Bring it to class to share.
Options:
1. Tie a pentagonal knot, page 103
2. Construct a pentagon, page 105
3. Build Golden Mean Calipers page 122
4. Construct a 3-D Golden Frame page 132
5. Fold the Archimedian and Golen Spirals page 140-141
6. Draw a Golden Spiral from a Golden Rectangle pages 142-144

1. 3 Worksheets to Print and Fill In! Bring them all to class to show and explain for your "report."
A. FIRST page of this pdf about the skin.
B. Complete this worksheet on digestion, color it if you want, but label it for sure.
C. AND this worksheet on the urinary system
2. Learn About Louis Braille, prepare a 2-3 minute report to share about him.
3. Learn About Willem Johan Kolff, prepare a 2-3 minuter report to share about him.
4. Different foods have different nutritional qualities.
Research the top 5 nutrient-rich foods, and tell why they fit this category.
Also find 5 of the top nutrient-void foods, and tell why they fit this category.
Bring your findings to class to share in a 2-3 minute report.
II. Watch Inventions that Shook The World, Episode 9, the 1980s. Write 3 new inventions on your timeline. Choose an invention of the 80s (could be from the movie or not), and prepare a 30-second, mind-blowing advertisement for that invention.
Become/Serve
We've been learning about our amazing bodies, and all the fascinating and incredible mechanisms that happen inside us in order for us to keep living. But guess what? None of that really matters unless we use our bodies for good.
So, go and do some good!
Use your capable body to serve someone. But reach out and do some service that you wouldn't normally do.
Go the extra mile!
After all, if you strung all the DNA in all your cells together it would be about twice the diameter of the Solar System.
Surely you can do at least an extra mile. :)
Record your service, or how you felt about your service, on this google doc.
Sign your name to it, or record it anonymously, either way.
Journeyman
I. In The Healing Code, read pages 169-215. At the bottom of page 170, you are asked to write down what you desire, need, seek, want, require, etc. Write 1 page fulfilling that assignment. This page is your ticket into journeyman.
II. And so is the food you bring. Bring a small snack to share (you can eat a light lunch), and research how long that particular snack takes your body to digest. Think simple, ie: carrot sticks, jerky, a homemade treat. The fewer the ingredients, the easier it will be to determine digestion time.
We will digest while we talk about digestion. It'll be great fun!
