We've been studying the organ systems of the body lately in Science. In order to better understand the respiratory system we counted our breathing at rest and then after jumping up and down for 15 seconds.
We also kept track of our heart beats at rest and then after exercise. This helped us learn about the circulatory system.
We studied the skeletal and muscular systems lastly. A student had an idea for demonstrating the muscular system ... arm wrestling. It was unconventional, but everyone really wanted to try it. I told the kids that I was most likely risking my job and they may have a new teacher on Monday, but I allowed students who wanted to try take a turn. Don't worry, no one was hurt !
James, on the other hand, has had his cast taken off. He still has it wrapped and has to do exercises daily to build his muscles back up, but he is quite excited about the improvement, and so are we!
