Charity Fair Project Blog: Victor Nguyen 7A Image  Our group presenting, the Night of Charity Fair This is our trifold. Summary To start off, my first year here at AdVenture, and first time doing Charity Fair, was a new experience for me. My group, Ian, Pierson, and I chose to help PetSmart charities, by making kale chips. I learned that we should always work as a team, whether we are at school or at home. When we were looking for the charity statistics, we learned that not all charities will post past tax and revenue information. While working on the test product, we learned that he we needed to change our unit of measurements, from ounces to tablespoons. Personally, I have learned so much from doing this project, from choosing a charity, finding different costs and statistics, thinking of an item to make, making a test product, presentations, and to putting all the money into a special cause. I learned one big thing,  Practice Make Perfect. Backward Loo...

Human Body Redesign : The Immune System http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/dr-jennifer-pearlman/boost-immune-system-flu_b_8205274.html Body System Function:  The immune system help you healthy and stay alive. For example, if there's any cells in your body that will hurt you, make you sick, or even perhaps endanger your life, the immune system will attack it.  Organs: Skin: This helps prevent things from entering your body. Mucus from nose:  This helps prevent the things that inhale from entering your body. Stomach Acids: This kills bacteria from the food you eat. White blood cells:  This recognizes all the invades/germs in your body. Thymus:  This is where the  lymphocyte matures .  Bone Marrow:  This is where bone cells are produced. Spleen:  This is the forming part of the immune system. One Organ's Structure and Function: Personally, I think the main function of the immune system is the the bone marrow....

Human Body Redesign : The Respiratory System www.livescience.com/22616-respiratory-system.html Body System Function:  The respiratory system is like the circulatory system, a system of transporting. The respiratory system bring oxygen to the body. It also helps get rid of the carbon dioxide.  Organs: Diaphragm : a  muscle that works with your lungs to allow you to inhale Lungs:  It is where all the oxygen is processed to be carbon dioxide.  Trachea:  This allow air to pass  through. One Organ's Structure and Function: Personally, I think the main function of the respiratory system is the lungs. When I hear the word lungs, I think this organ is very important, because in order to breath you need lungs. Lungs can easily be harmed if you use it improperly, like smoking. The lungs is where all the oxygen is processed to be carbon dioxide, so now the respiratory system will release it. As you can see, I think the main functio...

It helps you sense things that might be coming your way, like a car, and tell you get out of the way. As you eat, your nervous system will start to digest and release hormones. As you can see, the nervous system is mainly about action and senses.  Organs: Brain: It coordinates all your actions and thoughts. Spinal Cord: It help tract and pull away your muscles based on thoughts and reflexes. Neurons: It helps send back-and-forth the messages throughout your body.  One Organ's Structure and Function: Personally I think the main function of the nervous system is the the brain. I think this because the brain coordinates your tho...
