Engaging in Class
Majority of the time when a teacher asks what it looks like when a student is engaging in class the answer usually has to do with participation and actually showing that you are paying attention by making eye contact with the teacher or the board. I personally believe that people engage in all different ways. I myself am like that. I may not put my hand up and ask questions or I may start doing something else but most of the time I am paying attention to whats going on and if needed i do ask for help.

Circulation Review Quiz
PULMONARY CIRCULATION:
Deoxygenated blood is collected in the right atrium of the heart and is pumped into the right ventricle. Blood then moves to the pulmonary truck from the right ventricle into the pulmonary arteries to the lungs. Gas exchange occurs at the pulmonary capillaries and that is where the blood is oxygenated and CO2 is removed in the alveoli. Oxygenated blood returns back to the heart from the pulmonary vinens into the left atrium.
SYSTEMATIC CIRCULATION:
Oxygenated blood is collected in the left atrium which moves into the left ventricle and is pumped to the aorta. Arteries branch out of the aorta to the rest of the body where it goes into the capillaries where gas exchange occurs and becomes deoxygenated. the deoxygenated blood returns to the heart in two majour veins, the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava, which both enter the right atrium.

Heart Disection Lab
Questions:
Compare the structure of the atria and ventricles - how are they different? Why is that?
The atrias are much smaller than the ventricles. Both the left and right are what collect blood into the heart where as the ventricles are what send the blood out to the lungs and the rest of the body.
Did you notice a difference between the veins and arteries entering and leaving the heart? How is their structure different?
The arteries compared to the veins are more muscular and stronger where as the veins are more flappier and not as firm.

Bio 12- Interim
1. Provide an example of a experience (or more than one) where you felt successful in class.
- A moment in the class where I felt successful was when we played the protein game. This was a successful moment for me because it helped me understand more about the protein structures and how it works which I was having troubles with before.
2. Write about your work habits in class - if you look through your binder is there a lot of unfinished work? Have you handed in all your assignments? If not, why not? Provide evidence if possible.
- My work habits in this class are okay. I have majority of all my worksheets completed and all my notes are done. There are a couple projects that need to be completed which are mostly done but just need to be completely finished. The reason why they aren't completed is because I haven't had the time to finish them or they were partner activities so I didn't have the project itself to work on.
3. Have you had a chance to work collaboratively with other students in the class? How has that enhanced your learning? Or not?
- Yes, I have and I find it helpful because if there's something I don't understand and someone else does they can explain it to me to further help my learning and to keep me up to date with what I am learning.
4. What goals do you have for Biology 12? What do you need to do to get there? If your goal is about a mark, please reframe that into the work/learning that you hope to achieve.
- My goal for this course is to get a reasonably good mark to get into post secondary. I hope to achieve a better understanding of everything in this course and about the human body so that when I go to school after I know what and how the body works and what not.
