About the Project
In this project we focused on two specific body systems, and how they work together and separately. The two systems my group and I focused on and researched was the nervous and skeletal system. The function of the nervous system is to control and coordinate functions throughout the body as well as responding to internal and external stimuli. The function of the skeletal system is to support the weight of the body, allow movement, create red blood cells, and store essential minerals. These two systems work together to move different parts of the body. The nervous system sends out a signal telling the tendons of the skeletal system to move the arm. We then built a physical model to show our two systems. The model shows the brain (arduino board) sending out signals to the arm telling it to lift involuntarily. This shows how they work together. The arm works on its own by lifting its arm if it wants to or not. FInally the brain works on its own by recieving signals.

Reflection
This project was quick and easy. I learned a lot about body systems and how they work individually and together. Overall this project went very well and my group worked very well together. We all contributed to the project adn got everything done on time. The only thing that could've been better was if we had had more computers to work on the presentation. We only had one somputer to work on the presentation ao most of it was done by one person. I also feel I could have stayed a little bit more on task. During the project I would get off task a little but for the most part I feel I was on task. I think this project was good poject to end the year with.
