My question:

Why are there a lot of red and blue lines?

My hypothesis:

I think that the red and blue lines are veins

I now think:

The red lines on your body are arteries and the blue lines are veins. Without them you would not be able to survive. The red and blue lines connect to your heart( normally the blue lines and dark red). The blue (dark red) veins carry  De-oxygenated blood and the red arteries carry oxygenated blood to your heart. The blood gets oxygenated by your lungs.

My Question is:

Why does food go down in between your Rib cage?

My hypothesis was:

The food goes down through your Rib cage and into your stomach, and later on the faeces go out of your anus.

I now think:

That the food goes through your esophagus and then through your liver. Later on, it goes through your small intestines. The food that can’t get absorbed in your stomach will go out of your small intestines and into your large intestines which will lead to your anus and come out as faeces. Your food does not go through your Rib cage.

My question is: 

Why do I have a lot of muscles?

My Hypothesis is:

Maybe you have many muscles because they help you move and they help you stretch. Probably all of your muscles help move your bones and hold them together!

 I now think:

 We have a lot of muscles because they help you move and they help move your fingers and your whole body. You have 630 muscles that move you to hold things and do actions. In fact, you have 40% of your body weight in muscles! Muscles can move you, push you and pull you. Muscles can help bend you and make you strong. Muscles often work in pairs to move you, pull you and push you. That is why I think we have a lot of muscles.

My question is:

Why are there so many bones in the body?

My Hypothesis is:

Maybe because if you didn’t have any bones, then you wouldn’t be connected with your body and you would be just laying on the floor like a dead body!

I now think:

If you didn’t have any bones, then you wouldn’t be able to stand up and if you also didn’t have any bones then you would be laying on the floor like a puddle. The bones also protect the soft, insides in your body, but for example if you were hit in the stomach with a ball, then your bones can’t really help to protect your stomach. Imagine if you didn’t have a ribcage! Well… you can imagine that can’t you?  Your skull has some very hard bones that can protect your skull from any damages.. sometimes. When you feel the top of your skull it feels like a hard helmet to protect your brain and head. That is a very good use for a skull!!!

What is the Life Round Here project?

The Life Round Here project is about adaptation, how I adapted to Thailand when I just arrived. The Life Round Here project is a movie that compares one country to another!

What did I learn from the Life ‘Round Here project?

I learned a lot about culture by talking to some Thai students about Thai culture and watching our finished movies that show how Thai people respect the King. I have learned about weather in Thailand and how it’s compared to other countries. I have learned more about how to do an iMovie without a lot of help and now I can do an iMovie all by myself! I have learned now how to drag pictures and how to do music, record my voice and all other tools in iMovie.

My message of peace to the world is:

The world will become a better place, if you learn more about peace!

I have learned that when you want to write a post then you cannot write bad words. You surely can’t write where you live, what your address is and what your last name is. Well, it’s like your personal information. On your blog you should enjoy what you are doing and you should keep thinking that your lucky that you have a blog because, most people don’t have a chance to do a blog.
