FINAL POST :L
Hello B-Spot for the last time. :(
Well this will be my last blog seeing as it is coming to the end of our assessment task. I quite enjoyed this assessment task especially the part where everything except the hand out was on the computer. It was a change and change is good. Although the computers and laptops weren't working we some how managed to get everything done in the 2 weeks we had. My favourite part of this assessment was that we got every lesson from the day we got it to the day it was due to finish so that we didn't have to stress alot about it. Putting us students into groups was a good idea. One because we don't have to sit through the same presentation over and over again and two because we don't get confused and have like a major break down because we can't do it.
My group was the greatest!!!! Everyone did their part of the assessment and we kept each other on track of what each individual was doing just incase we needed to change something in our blogs. We each pitched in ideas for what to do and picked our own questions to do. Obviously I didn't pick my I was just told that's what question I was getting and I was fine with it. Everytime someone wanted to say somethine we all listened and no one was THE leader. Helping each other out was our way of doing everything and getting it done on time. Although we didn't get together after to and do our work or meet up in the library to do everything we did really good and I'm proud of the work we've done. The Digestive System was the best type of system to get because you could understand it more than any other system.
Each member in the group contributed in any way we could and we didn't even have to tell each other yu can do this we chode ourselves what we wanted to do.
I think overall this assessment helped us in 2 ways:
1. Have a broader knowledge on the different parts of the Digestive System and how they work and are effected.
2. Have more confidence in working with people outside of our friendship groups and be more indpendent with the work we are set and not leaving it to the last minute.
This assessment has taught me to take advantage of the time given to us by our teachers and not waste it by talking...hehe The knowledge I have collected throughout this process is quite large. When we actually get up in front of the class I think I'm going to also have the knowledge and the understanding of how hard it is to teach a class bigger than you in amount ways not size.
My favourtie part of this assessment was that we got to do whatever we wanted to do with the system we were allocated as longas we could teacher the class and widen their knowledge about it. Hopefully we do better than ever and no one will for asleep
Night B-Spot :)
Until next time....

Hand Out is Done !!!!
Hey B-Spot,
I'm so happy right now...I offically finished everythingg I had to do on my behalf of the group. I especially like the activity we are giving out to the class and the one we are doing in clas. The one we are doing in class is the one I was talking about in my previous blog. I reckon it's an AWESOME idea. With the handle I got a diagram from google and took away all the names and wrote them at the bottom along with one line of information that they have to match to the diagram. It's a simple and easy idea and no one will get bored with it because there isn't a lot of writting which we all know yr 8 students don't like to do. When I was done I printed 30 copies and I know we were meant to give it to miss to print it our so that we don't waste our ink but I really don't mind and I can just imagine the how many copies she would have to make for each group. That's a lot so I thought I might as well as print them out myself. Ms Manoogian also said that i could leave my Power Point on my USB until she figures out where she wants us to put it all.
that's it for this post

Hey B-Spot...
Today we are putting the little touches to our powerpoints.
and rubbing of the names of the parts as a revision kind of hand out and putting like questions on each question on the other side. I am printing out 30 copies so that their is enough and we are getting each student to draw a picture of the diagram and whoever has the best wins a packet of chocolate whichIi will buy tonight or 2morrow morning.
Today we are putting the little touches to our powerpoints.
Today is the last day we can finish off our assessment but Ms Manoogian said we had until 2morrow night to officially finish our assessment and all is done even the HAND-OUT. Tonight I'm going to work on our hand-out seeing as my section of our group work is done. We are planning on getting a diagram like this:

make up post.
On Tuesday I officially finished my Science Assessment and I'm so proud of myself. All those nights I stayed up until 2am paid off big time!!! At lunch time I went and made my Power Point which has 7 slide, one for each or some parts of the system and how it works. Hopefully I did everything right and I haven't left anything out.
Alex and Melanie are doing Bad Habits and When things go wrong in the one powerpoint because they link and Franchesca and I are putting What are the parts and How it works together because THEY intertwine.
Right now Franchesca and I have decided that she will take my part of the Power Point home and put nit together with her part.
Hopefully we are successful and are able to present on Monday.

When things go wrong??
Hey B-Spot...
Digestive System Problems
Nearly everyone has a digestive problem at one time or another. Some conditions, like indigestion or mild diarrhea, are common; they result in mild discomfort and get better on their own or are easy to treat. Others, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), can be ongoing and troublesome and should be discussed with a GI specialist or gastroenterologist (doctors who specialize in the digestive system).
Problems With the Esophagus
Problems affecting the esophagus may be congenital (present at birth) or noncongenital (developed after birth). Examples include:
Congenital conditions. Tracheoesophageal fistula is a connection between the esophagus and the trachea (windpipe) where there shouldn't be one. In babies with esophageal atresia, the esophagus comes to a dead end instead of connecting to the stomach. Both conditions are usually detected soon after a baby is born — sometimes even before — and require surgery to repair.
Noncongenital conditions. Esophagitis (inflammation of the esophagus) can be caused by infection, certain medications, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). With GERD, the esophageal sphincter (the valve that connects the esophagus with the stomach) doesn't work well and allows the acidic contents of the stomach to move backward up into the esophagus. GERD often can be corrected through lifestyle changes, such as dietary adjustments. Sometimes, though, it requires treatment with medication.
Problems With the Stomach and Intestines
Almost everyone has experienced diarrhea or constipation. With diarrhea, muscle contractions move the contents of the intestines along too quickly and there isn't enough time for water to be absorbed before the feces are pushed out of the body. Constipation is the opposite: The contents of the large intestines do not move along fast enough and waste materials stay in the large intestine so long that too much water is removed and the feces become hard.
Other common stomach and intestinal disorders include:
Gastrointestinal infections can be caused by viruses, by bacteria (such as Salmonella, Shigella, Campylobacter, or E. coli), or by intestinal parasites (such as amebiasis and giardiasis). Abdominal pain or cramps, diarrhea, and sometimes vomiting are the common symptoms of gastrointestinal infections. These usually go away on their own without medicines or other treatment.
Appendicitis, an inflammation of the appendix, most often affects kids and teens between 11 and 20 years old, and requires surgery to correct. The classic symptoms of appendicitis are abdominal pain, fever, loss of appetite, and vomiting.
Gastritis and peptic ulcers arise when a bacterium, Helicobacter pylori, or the chronic use of drugs or certain medications weakens the protective mucous coating of the stomach and duodenum, allowing acid to get through to the sensitive lining beneath. This can irritate and inflame the lining of the stomach (gastritis) or cause peptic ulcers, which are sores or holes in the lining of the stomach or the duodenum that cause pain or bleeding. Medications usually successfully treat these conditions.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is chronic inflammation of the intestines that affects older kids, teens, and adults. There are two major types: ulcerative colitis, which usually affects just the rectum and the large intestine; and Crohn's disease, which can affect the whole gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the anus as well as other parts of the body. They are treated with medications and, if necessary, intravenous (IV) feedings to provide nutrition. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove inflamed or damaged areas of the intestine.
Celiac disease is a disorder in which the digestive system is damaged by the response of the immune system to a protein called gluten, which is found in wheat, rye, and barley and a wide range of foods, from breakfast cereal to pizza crust. People with celiac disease have difficulty digesting the nutrients from their food and may experience diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating, exhaustion, and depression when they eat foods with gluten. Symptoms can be managed by following a gluten-free diet. Celiac disease runs in families and can become active after some sort of stress, such as surgery or a viral infection. A doctor can diagnose celiac disease with a blood test and by taking a biopsy of the small intestine.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a common intestinal disorder, affects the colon and may cause recurrent abdominal cramps, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea. There is no cure, but IBS symptoms may be treated by changing eating habits, reducing stress, and making lifestyle changes. A doctor may also prescribe medications to relieve diarrhea or constipation. No one test is used to diagnose IBS, but a doctor may identify it based on symptoms, medical history, and a physical exam.
Problems With the Pancreas, Liver, and Gallbladder
Conditions affecting the pancreas, liver, and gallbladder often affect the ability of these organs to produce enzymes and other substances that aid in digestion. Examples include:
Cystic fibrosis is a chronic, inherited illness where the production of abnormally thick mucus blocks the ducts or passageways in the pancreas and prevents its digestive juices from entering the intestines, making it difficult to properly digest proteins and fats. This causes important nutrients to pass out of the body unused. To help manage their digestive problems, people with cystic fibrosis can take digestive enzymes and nutritional supplements.
Hepatitis, a condition with many different causes, is when the liver becomes inflamed and may lose its ability to function. Viral hepatitis, such as hepatitis A, B, or C, is highly contagious. Mild cases of hepatitis A can be treated at home; however, serious cases involving liver damage may require hospitalization.
The gallbladder can develop gallstones and become inflamed — a condition called cholecystitis. Although gallbladder conditions are uncommon in kids and teens, they can occur in those who have sickle cell anemia or are being treated with certain long-term medications.
Keeping Digestion on Track
The kinds and amounts of food a person eats and how the digestive system processes that food play key roles in maintaining good health. Eating a healthy diet is the best way to prevent common digestive problems.

20/8/10 Which Doctor?
The doctor that specializes on the digestive system is a gastroenterologist who studies gastroenterology.
Gastroenterology is the study of the digestive system. it covers pretty much everything about the digestive system. from the body parts and how it operates to its habits and diseases that can occur.
A major disease in the digestive system that can be prevented is LIVER CANCER.
Just abit...haha :P
