Above is a picture of my groups model representing the respiratory system. My group has me zoe nick and donnie in it. Together we have built this model to look like the different ways the oxygen flows into the lungs and then is released. The bottles at the bottom represent the lungs and the tubes that lead to the lungs act as the bronchi that have the oxygen flow through them. This model works by pouring the water into funnels at the top of the tubes. These tubes have the water flow down into the bottles at the bottoms which are the lungs. Once the lungs fill up the pumps at the bottom of the bottles will release the water through tubes and into a cup. This model is almost done as we just need to connect the tubes to the pumps at the bottom. This model is a great one and i am proud of it.
Grand Rounds Activity:
For this grand rounds activity each group was assigned a disease. My group of Zoe and Nick was assigned to type one diabetes. The different groups that were assigned different diseases got into groups and role played their disease as if they were a patient seeing the doctors. The rest of the class took turn role playing the patient while being doctors when they weren't a patient. During this I had to explain to the group of doctors what symptoms I was experiencing as if it were a real doctors office. I learned through this project how complicated it is to diagnose someone with a disease. Also the endocrine system if very complicated and i have learned this through all sorts of diseases that ave been presented. Below is the Paragraph on the analysis of one of the patients I had.

Model Reflection
These projects turned out to be a very enjoyable one in which i learned a ton about the different systems the body. My group with Zoe and Nick was assigned to the respiratory system. We decided to do a project representing the flow of oxygen through the body and then how oxygen and carbon dioxide separate. We showed this by making the model pictured above. In that model we would pour water down the funnels which would cause the water to go through the tubes and into the orange juice bottles at the bottom. Once these orange juice bottles fill up the pump at the bottom of the bottles pumps out water through tubes in the sides of the orange juice bottles and finally just into cups and then the process continues to work this way. Our model that we made ended up working very well. We had some challenges like our model leaked, the tubes didn't always connect in the way we wanted them to, and we had a group member who did our slides and script for the presentations change schools. The successes we came across were that our model worked very well almost every time, the judges loved our model, and we came together as a group very well to achieve our goal. The feedback we received back from the judges and parents was nothing but good things to hear. The judges liked the complexity of the model and what we did to represent basically the whole respiratory system. Overall making our models were very fun and helped me learn a lot about the respiratory system and the other systems along with it.
