This is the movable limb, I chose a leg.
It is very very simple and made from homemade play dough, thick string and cardboard.
As for the out lay of the leg itself, I did each thing separate, is the bones + muscles and tendons. This movable limb project was quite difficult for me to get from my ideas to the final product, more so over the previous project like this in Unit 1. I have a really strong interest in the skeleton, but it seems I was just trying to over complicate the project and when I made it very simple it seemed inadequate.
The next picture is the diagram of the various neurons and showing the axon, Node of Ranvier and Myelin Sheath.
The final photo has a comparison Diagram because unfortunately my photo shop wouldn't load for that final photo. It is a show of the muscle fibers.
I learned from this much more about the different types of neurons and about the structures of the muscles and bone throughout the body. Although I don't necessarily don't feel that more is better in something like this, I feel that I learned a lot from the entire unit.

SELF/UNIT FEEDBACK
COMPENDIUM ONE—NERVOUS FUNCTION
COMPENDIUM TWO—MOVEMENT
The compendiums are baseline o.k. no photos or sources and I think you could have included a bit more detail, but all the topics are there.
LAB ONE—LEECH NEURONS
This lab is fine.
LAB TWO—MUSCLE FUNCTION
I didn’t see any photos of you actually doing the lab. The data and write-ups are good.
LAB PROJECT—BUILD-A-LIMB
Nice limb and I especially like the neuron! Everything makes sense!
ESSAY—EXERCISE/ACTIVITY. Yes, such a problem to change our lifestyle—and maybe easier with kids…for us big folks, I think activity has to be fit into everyday life…thanks for your perspective.
Lacey, thanks for all the hard work. Be sure to include photos and sources in your compendiums and make sure they’re detailed enough.
