Unit 6 discussed the skeletal system and topics relating to this system. Themes related to this unit were maintaining a healthy lifestyle and learning disorders that may be present in our lives. Learning disorders relating to the skeletal system and the different bones in our body will help us diagnose our own medical problems and be more knowledgeable about our own bodies. This enhancement of knowledge will also give us more incentive to intake vitamin D and calcium due to the fact we are aware of the possible disorders we might have if not we do not intake those nutrients.
Learning about the skeletal system and its disorders was quite fascinating and I would be interested in learning more in details of the skeletal system and disorders.

During this unit, I found dissecting the owl pellets fascinating because it was interesting to see how all the disarranged bones would form a skeleton. In addition, the process of dissecting an owl pellet of an object was fun.
As a student, I believe that I have started my journey in accomplishing my New Year's Goals. I have been sleeping more during the weekdays and weekends, sleeping 6 to 7 hours. Although I am not sleeping the standard 8 hours teenagers should sleep daily, I find this as progress and I intend on improving as the semester finishes. Unfortunately, my procrastination has not gotten better but actually worse. I need to remind myself to always finish my homework before 12 am, or I will always procrastinate. I may be at my low point in accomplishing my goal in stopping to procrastinate; this, however, is a working process.
Pictures below are from the owl pellet lab, in which we scavenged bones from the owl pellet to form a skeleton and determine the animal.
