Exploring Life Processes Through My Day: A Personal Journey of Growth and Nutritional Science
Join me on a reflective journey as I navigate my daily experiences through the lens of essential life processes. From my movement to Red Hill for lunch to the responsiveness of avoiding a speeding car, I share personal anecdotes that highlight growth, reproduction, respiration, digestion, absorption, circulation, assimilation, and excretion. Discover how these fundamental biological concepts are intricately woven into our everyday lives, reminding us of the incredible systems that support our existence and well-being.

Presentation Transcript
Mental Mapping (help me remember) • I walk to Red Hill to get lunch (movement) • I jump out of the way of a speeding car as I cross the street (responsiveness) • I grew 2 inches over the summer my freshmen year of high school(growth) • I tripped on my way to Red Hill and scraped me knee. New cells are filling in at the wound site.(reproduction) • I breathe in O2 and release CO2(respiration) • I breakdown the turkey, cheese and bread in my sandwich so my body can absorb nutrients(digestion) • My cells get nutrients digested from my sandwich(absorption) • The simple sugars from my lunch enter my blood(circulation) • The sugars in my blood break down in my cells to make energy(assimilation) • I have to go to the bathroom after 7th period (excretion)
