Research Reflection and the Magic School Bus

Research Reflection:
For the past month, we have been research body system on our own.

1 good thing about doing in this way is that by doing this way, we can deep understand the systems that we're searching.Because of using our own words, we can remember all the information easily can hard to forget. Sometimes we can see what other people think, and we can change what we think and change it into our own words. Sometimes we solve the problem together that we can't find or it's very hard. That's 1 good thing about doing this way.


1 thing I didn't like about this way is that I think is sometimes there are still something that we don't understand and the question only allow us to know a limit of answers. For example, some of the question in the quiz we didn't research before, so we need to go search again. That's 1 thing I don't like about it.

I think Mrs.Smith plan it this way is because I THINK she knows that this way can let us more understand the body systems that we're researching ( like the first question {1 good thing about doing in this way}) and by this way, we can use our opinion and maybe use some of the information that we already know.

1 suggestion I have for Mrs.Smith is, maybe next time we can have like some question you ready for us, and then last we can have our own research things that maybe we don't know, so we can have double research and that will make us know more.

another suggestion for Mrs.Smith is, I think next time we can work in groups so maybe we can share more information and we can know more knowledge by using this way( I think).


Magic School Bus:

—Summary:
In Magic School Bus, they went into the body and travel through digestive system, small intestine, large intestine and others.

2 thing that's incorrect in Magic School Bus are #1. Our body only need to spend few second to digestive the foods, so it's impossible for the bus to melt after 10 hours.
#2, it's impossible to have a bungee jumping on the gum.

2 thing that's correct in Magic School Bus are #1. It's possible to go back from esophagus to your mouth. #2, Our teeth help us break foods into small pieces, same with our stomach acids that helps us digestive foods.
