Today Mr. Cohun wasn't in class and we watched a movie on the power of choice. I saw this movie in health 1 but i forgot the VIP vision, initiative, perspective. That is what he tried to teach kids.

Today we went to the computer lab and participated in an online question & answer blog. We would ask scientists questions about drug that we didn't know or wanted answers to. This is what we did all class.

10/08/07
Today we were assignment a topic on tobacco. Then we went to the computer lab and researched our topic. I had the phsycological effects of tobacco. I thought that this was a very contraiveral topic because some like to smoke and they dont find a problem with it.

Ricky was in class again today and this time we talk about birth control. The most common ones were condom, pill, and creams. I found out that you can never use to many of these and with using more then one you can reduces your chance of pregnancy more!

Today Ricky came in and talked about seven most commen sexually transmitted infections (STI). We found out that they were Chlamydia, Gopnorrea, syphilis,HIV/AIDS, Genital herpes,genital warts,Crabs. Most of them can be passed though sexual contact and blood to blood.

In class today Mr. Cohun did an example presentation on apple juice. He ran it through the juicer and everyone got to try it. It didnt taste to bad. Josh tried the foam he didnt like it very much. Then Sarah presented Vitamin C again.

9/24/07
Today in class we talked for a little while about what we are going to do in the computer lab. Then we went and had a chance to catch up on our blogs. This gave me a chance to do my juice research.



9/18/07
In class mika talked about vitiman C. During his presentation we figured out what collgen. It is a main protien of connective tissues.(elasticity in the skin) We also found out that mountian dew wont drop mens sprem count. When you have vitiman C you souldnt have asprin because it cancels out the vitamin C. He also presented his vegetable. He had chicory. It is a blue flower. It is good for the immune system. It can also have a sour taste. After mika jen reviewed her vitamin. She had B-1. Then after that we talked about maybe making apple cider. Josh was the next to persent he had B2. We found out that vitamin B2 works well with vitamin A.






9/13/07
Today in class we talked about our next assignment. It is going to be on the food pyramid. We will have to find out the different food groups and what each of them do. We learned how to find out how much calories we can have everyday and how much in each food group we can have. Then we found out that we have to do an independent project and a group project. I will be in a group with josh and madison. we have grains.



9/11/07
Today in class we talk about what is expected on our blog. Our projects have to meet the FCA's and have to be pretty lenghtie and the longer it is the better grade we will have. Another thing that we talk about is how to set up flickr and delious account and what they did. Flickr is for pictures and you can add as many as you want. We are going to use it for pictures that we find on health or our own. The delious account is for bookmarking we are going to use it to book mark all the sites that we are using for health. Then toward the end of the class everyone presented there vitamin to the class.


9/7/07
In class today we found out about our new assignments. Each of us has a vegetable, fruit and vitamin to research online. Then we learned about different kinds of juicers. We watched three different videos on juicer each with a different sales pitch. The first one that we watched was the Breville Juice Fountain Elite. It is stainless steal, with titanium cutter disk, 4 parts to clean, 1000 watt motor, with 13,000 RPM on high and 6,500 on low. This sales pitch was very well made and only had a couple of thing that could of been better.This also ranked 2 out of ten in the top ten juicers. It will be the juicer that the class is getting. The Next video that we watched was on the Jack Lalanne. This juicer had a some what of an ok sales pitch but it wasn't as good as the Fount in Elite. It can be both a juicer and a food processor. It has a stainless steal surgical cutting disk and it has 2 parts that are need to be cleaned. The last video was on the juicer guy. It was the worst sales pitch ever and they didn't really explain what the juicers details were they were more interested in selling the free hippo. So all and all i liked the the first sales pitch.

What is juicing and why would you want to have juicing be part of a healthy lifestyle?

Today in class we got a new assignment, we have to answer the question above. To do this we have links on the school blog. I found out that juicing is when you take different vegetables and fruits and you clean them then put them through a juicer. Juicing would be a great healthy lifestyle because of all the nutrients in the vegetables, it helps you get all the vegetables that you need, and you can add a wider variety of vegetables. But vegetables arn't the only thing that can be healthy in juicing, there is also fruits. Fruits also have many benefits and should not be left out. Some juices have different things they can offer you. There is healing juices, you can have juice therapy, juicing can help with diets, it can help prevent cancer and there is many more things that juicing can do.


8/31/07
Today we set up our accounts on Wiki and blogger.I changed my password Wiki that I found be really easy. Then I went on Blogger and set up my account. They asked for a password and email address, things like that. After i did the basics i went in and set up my template and all the things i could do. Then i went and added links for my blog page. All these things i found easy to do i thought that it was going to be confusing but i caught on fast.

You missed a great class speaker on the organ donor topic. See if you can talk to Josh about it and put up a post. I would like to hear what you think on this topic.
