Wellness Project

Hello readers, here is my wellness project slides. I think it went quite well because I got some of my friend's feedback on google forms for my presentation and speech and got quite good results. It worked out quite well, and I hope in the future everyone will use these fitness tips. Thanks!

Pellagra

Here are the answers to the "Pellagra" questions.

1a. He observes first hand where the severe cases of the pellagra are. He then visited a prison with lots of cases of pellagra. This helped him to develop his hypothesis as he found all the people getting pellagra were poor and had a terrible diet.

1b. He found that in orphanages and prisons only the kids and the prisoners contracted pellagra, not the teachers from the orphanages or the staffs from the prison, so it couldn't be caused by germs as they do not know of status boundaries.

2a. His hypothesis about the cause of pellagra was that it was caused by a lack of vitamins, like scurvy.

2b. He conducted an experiment on 11 prisoners. Before the experiment, the prisoners were eating fruits and vegetables from the prison garden. Goldberger started feeding them only corn and bread, and in the end 7/11 of the people that ate corn contracted pellagra, but when the prisoners were allowed to eat fruits and vegetables their pellagra healed. This provided evidence that proved his hypothesis as when he took away vitamins, the inmates got pellagra, but when they had vitamins (fruits and vegetables) again, they got better.

2c. He could have provided more information like telling the people at that time what particular vitamin, when lacked, caused pellagra. This would have acted like a "medicine" and people would have believed in it more. Or, he could have said people need to have a lot of vitamins to cure pellagra instead of saying that it was caused by a lack of vitamins.

5. I think this was a bad idea as conducting the experiment on humans would actually be quite cruel and sometimes might get the people in the experiment insane and confused. They would also suffer a terrible 6 months of their life suffering pellagra because of the diet. I would only try to give it to one person that is willing to suffer pellagra for science's sake, or just give it to another animal entirely. This would be a lot better as not so many humans would have to contract the pellagra disease.

Parent/Student Agreements

1. I will make sure my laptop is charged every night by leaving it in my charger on my desk. I usually just plug the home computer in when I get home at my study desk, so I will plug it in the minute I get home.

2. I will bring it back home to charge by putting it in my backpack, and will remember to bring it to school the next day by putting my backpack next to my computer at night.

Precision And Its Importance

       Precision is extremely important in science as you need to find the exact amount and time for reaction. Also , if you want to be able to have success in science you must be precise as if you get one equation wrong, the final answer might be completely off. For example, if you accidentally wrote 11144 instead of 11114 while correcting the direction of a NASA rocket, the final answer might be way off and you might fly to Jupiter instead of the Moon. Anyways, you would either find out the mistake, or the astronauts would die out in space. Another example is that if scientists put to much sodium in a liquid, it might explode and potentially harm them.For me, it is extremely important as if I put too much of one thing in one jar, the experiment might not work out. This is why precision is extremely important. 

Health - 54321 + 8

      I need five types of fruits and veggies a day because it will keep me healthy and keep me from having disgusting sicknesses like diabetes or having a heart attack. I should also eat a more variety of veggies as different colours have different nutrients. I need at least four glasses of water as it will keep me from being dehydrated, and also feeling very weary. For me, this is very important as it will help me be healthier. I need approximately three conversations with my friends, like listening to music or playing together. This is extremely important as it keeps you active and mentally healthy. You should have less than two hours of screen time as it is not healthy. You should always plan out what you are doing on the computer, as if you spend to much time on it you will get sucked into whatever you are doing. You should do at least one hour of physical exercise a day as it helps you get more fit. Also, you feel more relaxed and ready-to-go after exercising. You need at least 8 hours of sleep a day as it will help you to be more refreshed. You also need to sleep as in school if you don't sleep you will be tired and worn out.

     To improve my wellness I need to have more sleep because it will help how I concentrate in school and I won't feel like a zombie.

The 3 Most Important Things

     The three most important things for me to remember when working in a group are to be time productive, as if my group uses up all our time on one question, we will fall behind. Also, effective communication is key, as without that some ideas may not be known. Finally, this is the most important: be happy with your team. If not, you should switch teams, as research shows people who are happier peform better.
