Inquiry Reflection

This term our inquiry topic has been about "The Incredible Human Machine" For homework we have been researching and presenting about a disorder that challenges the human machine. We got to chose which disorder we could research. I have researched about Down Syndrome. There is a lot that I have learnt about Down Syndrome, like it is a genetic disorder which means that you can't catch it like a cold. I also know that it is caused by an extra part or whole chromosome. But that is not all I have learnt about this term. I have learnt about what happens when we are growing up, to reproduce. This term has been really interesting, there really isn't a limit to the human body! One interesting thing is that your brain isn't completely matured until your 20's. Another one is that You usually have 46 chromosomes, 23 from your mother and 23 from your father, but somebody with Down Syndrome has 47. Term 2 has been really fun and I can't wait until next term to have a brand spanking new inquiry topic!
