Here is the place where you should post your reflection about explaining homeostasis to someone at home.
Your reflection should include the following:
1. What was the experience like for you?
2. What worked and what did not work in explaining the concept to someone else?
3. What did you learn from the experience?
4. What questions do you now have?
This is due by Friday, October 5th.

Explaining Homeostasis
When I explained Homeostasis to my dad he already knew, so I made him forget what it was. Afterward I understood it better for saying it aloud and explaining it, but I don’t think I explained it very well. He got bored and he was already making dinner, so he was distracted.
One question I have is: What is a closed system?
I explained homeostasis to my mom but she already knew so I told her that she didn’t and that I had to explain to her. She listened and asked questions, though it was kind of weird because she already knew. I think I helped me understand and remember what homeostasis was because you had to put it in your own words and if they asked questions you had to explain it.
When I expand homeostasis to my mom it was easy she sad she knew what it was she told me briefly what it was I wondered were she learned it. I realized that my mom is actually smart.
I explained homeostasis to my mom and she new what it was, she actually helped me explain it. I worked put pretty well it was not hard at all. But that was probably because she new most of it. I dont think anythign didnt work out well. I think everything went very smoth. I learned more when i was explaining it to her, and i also leared because she taught me things aswell. Now i think I no and understand what it is.
Homeostasis
For a homework assignment Mr. Ardito asked us to explain homeostasis to someone at home. I explained homeostasis to my brother. He did not know what I was talking about and I was really frustrated because it was not working. I started over and I tried showing him my notes and he started to get it. Then I showed him my notes on the human body and the human body system and he totally got it. I learned to write my notes more clearly and use them instead of trying to remember them when teaching.
Homeostasis
For a homework assignment we had to explain homeostasis to someone. I explained it to my dad. I don’t think I explained it very well. I don’t think I explained very well because I couldn’t read my notes very well. But then he read them and he understood a little. I liked it and didn’t like it because it was boring explain thins to my dad but I liked that he helped me learn. I learned that it is hard teaching. I think I have to write better notes.
My experience of explaining homeostasis to my brother was googd but also bad. What worked was the explaining. What didn't work was my brother was trying to explain it to me when I was trying to explain it to him but he made me understand better. Not to talk to my brother about this kind of stuff unless I don't really understand it. None.
My mom studied this stuff when she went to grad school so she already knew. I told her to forget because I had to explain it to her. It was hard because she knew so much more then me. I would explain something and then she would explain it in more depth. Using the thermostat analogy really seamed to work. I learned that is hard to teach to someone who knows more then you do. I was also wondering what would happen if you body didn’t have homeostasis?
When i explained Homeostasis to my parents i thought i wouldn't explain right. Turns out that it was very difficult for me to explain it to my parents because i didn't know the material as well as i thought i did. I learned think i learned how to explain it better because i looked at my notes again and made it easier to explain it. My parents were able to understand me the second time.
Well, my Dad knew vaguely what homeostasis was, so I tried my mum and she knew right away too, and I’m an only child, and didn’t think it would do to email my cousin who lives in England, and who is 10 and would probably not know what I’m talking about, and plus, it would take too long to reply. And I obviously couldn’t ask the dogs or the fish… So I’d say the experience was a mixture of confusion and a dud.
Well, when I was attempting to explain the concept to my parents, who knew what it meant already, it kind of helped to mention body systems and the balance between them, at those words they started help me discribe what I was saying better.
After attempting to explain this to my parents, the term stood out in my mind to be connected to body systems and characteristics/traits, and controlling it all the bad and good things of a body and assuring that the body is healthy.
I have the question of, is there something inside you, like your brain, that acts like your homeostasis?
UH OH! was that too long?
When I used the word “Homeostasis” my dad nodded and acted as if he knew it, and my mom looked as if the word was not English. It’s Greek, for that matter, but you get the idea. It didn’t take to long and I think that my mom understood it pretty well by the end. That’s it, not to long, but there is not much to tell.
When I explained Homeostasis to my mom she did not know so i was trying to tell her what it ment and keep saying i dont understad. She told me that i was doing it wrong that i didint expanle it right. She was right though. i learned that im not so very good and explaning things so there for i was the one who made the mistake
When I asked my older brother if he knew what homeostasis was he said yes. Then I tried to explain it to him. He understood it, but then he explained it to me in a better way for me to understand it more. Then when I tried explained homeostasis to my dad he sorta of understood it. So then i used the explanation that my brother gave me and my dad fully understood it. I learned what homeostasis meant in an easier way.
I explain what Homeostasis was to my dad, when i was on the phone with him though, he was on wikipedia. He looked it up before i could tell him...so it was diffucult to explain it...because he was reading the exact definition while I tried to explain it. What worked was explaining that homeo meant the same and that state meant state...what didn't work was trying to explain the parts of homoestasis that I didn't understand. I learned that you should explain to your parents that YOU want to explain something and that they don't have to keep correcting you! I still am i bit confussed about exactly what Homoestasis means, but my dad helped to explain it and so did my classmates. One question I have, though is, What do they mean by closed & opened systems??
No one should be forced to learn. I found that out when I explained
Homeostasis to my daddy for home work. I could tell that he didn't care
what I was talking about, therefore wasn't as open to learning as I
would have hoped. But, because he is my daddy and it's his job, he
listened to what I had to say and asked questions when he didn't
understand. But when he asked a question, I noticed that I didn't know
the answer. Instead of helping him understand it, I just repeated what
I already said. It was harder than I thought it would be. In real life
(meaning not n school) if someone is not interested in something they
shouldn't be forced to learn it.
Homeostasis
I had to explain to a family member what Homeostasis. I had to see if they knew it or not. I has asked my older sister what is it and she respond in her own way.It was a good experience for me and it was interesting and it did not really teach me anything but I learned that my sister is more interested in her computer than my question. It worked a little bit and she was partly into it. I think it would of been better if I asked my mom, but I did I really don’t have any questions. One was how did they come up with the name.
It was hard to explain Homeostasis to my mom. She already knew what it was and I just confused her. I think she ended up telling me what homeostasis is more than I told her. I still wonder about open and closed systems, though.
Explaning homoestasis to my mom wasn't very difficult at all. Since she
is a nurse, she heard of it before. One thing I've could of done was
right my notes a little neater becuase they were kinda messy and they
were hard to read. My mom found interesting to learn more about it.

Homeostasis Review.
By pnkcat101
When I talked to my mom about homeostsis She had 4 questions.
1) Does homeosasis have to do with cells working together?
2)What would happen if some of the cells would stop working?
3)If your cells that work toghther break down does that make you paralized?
4)If you are sleeping and all of a sudden your cells break down will
you be able to notice when you arw sleeping?
From this activity. I learned that I need to know how to pronous
the words before explaining what it means. I also think I need to
understan it better to be able to explain it to my mom better so she
could understand it. I also learned is that there are some parts of
homeostasis that I undersood better tahn others. I had some trouble
but not much.

Your artical was good but you should check your spelling befor you post the blog.
to mackattack
your experiense with explining homeostasis was very interesting. My experience was nothing like that.
To scienceclass
I liked what you wrote but the last sentence really didnt flow but besides that it was a very good reflection.
Reflection
I think that the experience was fine. I did not mind it at all. My mom already knew what it was so she helped me out with it.
Thing that went wrong was me trying to explain it to her. She helped me faze it better. What went right was the fact that she actually understood what I was trying to say to her.
What I learned about this experience is a better the meaning of the word homeostasis or explanation of the word, and that I need to work on my explanations for different words.
when i explained homeostasis to my mom, she didnt really listen to me she just kept saying, "yes". I definitley understand it better now than before, and it makes more sense.
The only question i have for homeostasis is how long does it usually take for your body to maintain the homeostasis in your body if your sick, with like the common cold.
Enplaning Homeostasis
1.the experience of being a teacher instead of lisanig to one so it was good.
2.well it pretty much worked out for me because my parents don’t know much.
3.that if you take your time enplaning, instead of rushing it is much better.
4. No questions
