What parts of the mouth help with digestion and how?
Tongue moves food around to help teeth chew and break down the food. Enzymes in saliva also helps to break down chemicals in the food.
What is the heart and how does it pump blood to the rest of the body?
(Bonus: Why does blood need to circulate through the body)
The heart is a muscle and pumps blood to the rest of the body by squeezing and releasing.
Bonus: Blood provides cells in the body with oxygen
Sudden double bonus: How does blood circulate oxygen through the body?
What is mental health, and what can it be shown through?
Mental health is your state of emotional, physical, and mental well-being.
It can be shown through how well you cope with stress or how you deal with everyday choices.
What is the first step of the engineering design process?
Bonus: Give an example situation
Define the problem
Bonus: Answers may vary
True or False: Stars actually twinkle
Bonus: Why or why not?
False
Bonus: They shine constantly, but only appear to twinkle because light travelling from it bumps off different things before it reaches our eyes
What are the epiglottis and esophagus and what do they do? (Bonus: Point out where in the body they are)
The epiglottis is a flap that covers the windpipe to make sure food goes down the right path. The esophagus gets food from the mouth to the stomach.
What are the 4 chambers of the heart and what separates the right and left side?
Bonus: Which direction does each chamber lead the blood?
Right and left atrium, right and left ventricle. The septum separates the left and right side of the heart.
Bonus: Atria fill with blood returning in to the heart and dumps it into ventricles. Ventricles squeezes blood back out to the rest of the body
What are some environments that stress can occur in?
Bonus: Provide a specific example/situation for each environment
School, relationships, family
Bonus: Answers may vary
What is the second step of the engineering design process?
Bonus: Give an example situation
Plan solutions
Bonus: Answers may vary
True or False: You can weigh differently on different planets/moons
Bonus: Why or why not?
True
Bonus: The gravitational pull on each planet/moon is different. More gravitational pull, you weigh more. Less gravitational pull, you weigh less.
What is the stomach and what does it do? (Bonus: How does the stomach break down the food?)
A "J" shaped sac that stores and breaks down food to pass into the small intestine.
Bonus: Strong muscles of the stomach squeeze and help to break down food, while gastric juices break down the food and kill bacteria in the food
What do valves do, and what are the 4 main ones?
Bonus: Which direction do which ventricles direct the blood?
Valves make sure blood is flowing in the right direction in the heart. 4 main ones are the tricuspid, mitral, pulmonary, and aortic valves.
Bonus: Tricuspid and mitral valves directs blood from atria to ventricles. Pulmonary and aortic valves directs blood when leaving the body.
What is a sign of a healthy balance, and a sign of an unhealthy balance?
What are 3 things you can do to help maintain a healthy balance?
Answers may vary
What is the third step of the engineering design process?
Bonus: Give an example situation
Make a model
Bonus: Answers may vary
When the moon reaches it's farthest point of orbit from the Earth, how many of the planets can fit in between?
All of them!
What are the small intestine and large intestine, and what do they do in the digestion process?
(Bonus: Which one is longer?)
They are both tubes that food passes through. Small intestine keeps breaking down food and extracts all the nutrients from the food. Large intestine absorbs water from the food for the last time.
Bonus: Small intestine is longer
What 2 "pathways" help blood travel to and from the heart?
Bonus: Which direction does each direct the blood in?
Veins and arteries help blood travel to and from the heart.
Bonus: Veins carry blood to the heart, arteries carry blood away from the heart
What does physical health include?
Bonus: Why is each one important?
Sleep, hygiene, exercise, healthy food/eating habits
Bonus: Answers will vary
What is the third step of the engineering design process?
Bonus: Give an example situation
Test the model
Bonus: Answers may vary
Venus is presumed to look like ________ 750 million years ago because it might have had habitual water
Earth
What is the liver and what does it do?
Organ that filters out harmful substances/waste and decides which nutrients to use first or store for later
Demonstrate how the blood circulates through the heart
Answer will be demonstrated
Give 1 specific detail about each aspect of physical health.
E.g. Give an example of how you can practice hygiene or give an example of how you can improve your sleep
Answers may vary
What is the fifth step of the engineering design process?
Bonus: Give an example situation
Reflect and redesign
Bonus: Answers may vary
True or False: Space is very clean and contains no junk
False
Space has lots of junk floating about, and it can be very dangerous for space travel!
