Body SystemsNervous System: One body system I explored was the nervous system. I explored the nervous system through looking at nerves and the brain. Our brain has so much power! By observing the brain, I recognized what each lobe has the responsibility of! The brainstem is very important to our nervous system. Respiratory System: Another body system I explored was the respiratory system. I explored this system by observing lungs, healthy and unhealthy. The unhealthy lungs represented those of a smoker’s. It demonstrated the devastating effects smoking has on your respiratory system. I also discovered how asthma impacts your respiratory system. Excretory System: One last body system I explored was the excretory system by observing male and female kidneys. While observing the kidneys, I learned more about kidney stones. ReflectionI enjoyed our field trip to Body Worlds as we each got to experience a more tech side of science through the exhibits use of advanced technology to showcase each exhibit. If I could change anything about the field trip it would be to make it more appropriate for high school aged students. With that said, I think Body Worlds is more appealing to elementary-middle school students. I felt the only exhibit targeted towards my age was the one where you could view the “dead” bodies. I would recommend the exhibit to families with younger children because it would be a great experience for them! They can play around with the techno games on the first level or do the fun experiments on the second level. Connection to Environmental ScienceThis field trip connects to environmental science because pollution majorly impacts human bodies. Because of an increase in pollution, our respiratory and cardiovascular systems become disrupted. Air pollutants negatively affect our respiratory system as the quality of air we breathe affects our quality of life essentially. Inhaling harmful pollutants mainly affects our lungs. If air pollutants are inhaled, then it gets absorbed by blood and transported to our heart. We must protect our environment as this is our only Earth.
