Apprentice
Let's start this week with some music and dancing!
Music - perfect for a time of pandemic:
Dancing - well perfect for anatomy. :)
Click on this link to say Hello to LaFawnduh's Cousin
Sadly, we cannot make use of LaFawnduh one more time in class, BUT, that's ok. :)I hope you've gained a better appreciation for your body this year, and hopefully learned a few things along the way.
I know, I know, some things were gross.
And cool.
And confusing.
And interesting.
I think everything about the body is miraculous, and I'm grateful for mine!
Study/Learn
I. Spend about 30-45 minutes reviewing your notes of all the systems. You can re-watch past apprentice anatomy videos if you wish. We will spend our time in class playing Kahoot! with anatomy questions.
II.
In the book A Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe, briefly review chapters 1-6. Think about what you thought was cool about each number. They are all so fascinating in their own way!!Come up with a presentation showing (not just telling) one "thing" having to do with that number......remember I showed mine during last Eureka. This is a very open-ended inspirement. Your "things" neither have to be on paper, nor hand-drawn if they are on paper. Be creative.
Video yourself doing this presentation and upload it to our youtube channel. OR Make a presentation using prezi or google slides, and share the link with our group.
Know/Understand
I. Read this article (with a few short videos included in it) about inventions of the 21st century.
As per usual.....come up with a 30-second mind-blowing newscast about ANY invention of the Third Millenium (The past 20 years)
Record yourself doing your newscast, and upload it to our YouTube Channel.
Text me your favorite, and I will announce the winner.
719-494-7522
Just like for History week, please have all your media shared, and/or uploaded by 6 am on Thursday morning, so we can watch them. Share your link on this Doc.
We will have Apprentice at 9:30am
And Journeyman at 10:15 am
II. Build a Bridge.....but only if you wish. :) If we get together for a final Vanguard Party (which we're all hoping for), then we'll test the bridges with weight. And I do have prizes ready!
Hopefully you learned some things from our last bridge contest that will help you build a better one this time. In any case, it's a great quarantine activity!
Become/Serve
The emotion of gratitude can literally change you, and heal you. The more grateful you are for everything, the more your energy changes, your stress dissipates, and you feel better. Writing about what you're grateful for is powerful.
Go to this google doc, and write down at least 3 specific things you are grateful for about your body, using correct anatomical language. Think of all the systems we've studied, and see what you remember. Or look them up if needed (especially the spellings, haha!) Here are some examples:
I'm grateful that my phalanges are able to type this blog.
I'm grateful that my occipital lobe is constantly allowing me to process visual information.
I'm grateful that my urethral sphincters allow me to hold my urine so I don't have accidents on long car trips.
These ideas should get your wheels turning!
When we meet on Thursday, remind me to tell you how I announced I was pregnant 22 years ago.
Journeyman
Finish up the book by reading Chapter 12. It's about 15 pages or so. It gives some great stress-relieving tips. Try each one as you read about it. We will discuss what you think of these methods, and anything else about the book you'd like to discuss.
Great job for sticking with this book all year! I hope you've loved it!
