Our New UOI: Who We Are

So last week, our teacher told us that we were going to start a brand-new UOI (Unit of Inquiry).The unit is Who we Are. We are going to learn about how the human body works. For our first task (or activity) we were/are put in groups to make a human-sized body. I traced one of the people in my group, (in my opinion, I did a HORRIBLE JOB!!) and then we had materials to use when making the body. There were straws and balloons and other materials we can use. In my group, we used straws as the digestive system, we also used straws for the bones. We used a balloon for the brain (or at least we tried because we couldn't blow up the balloon). 
I am pretty excited about learning more about the human body and how it works!
