In our first project we had this experiment, the cheese lab, which we got into groups and experimented different curdling agents and milk to figure out which one is the fastest to make cheese. The curdling agents used were FPC, NPC, buttermilk, and water. Each of these curdling agents were put into a small tube containing 6ml of milk. This was then heated at body temperature( under our armpits) and timed until it was solidified.
Our second experiment, we had the opportunity to change something in the procedure to see if it would make the cheese any faster. In this case, my group changed how much the curdling agent should be added into the milk. We doubled the curdling agent for the buttermilk, and then we did the regular amount of buttermilk to see which one would be faster.

Carbohydrates: monosaccharide and polysaccharides are the two types that both gives us energy, sugar
Lipids: storage of fat, creates cell membranes, and signal steroid hormones and cell surface receptors
Protein: digests food, they're everywhere and do everything
Nucleic Acids: DNA and RNA are the informational molecules for cells. DNA is genetic information found in the nucleus of the eukaryotic cells. RNA have several types of jobs involving protein synthesis, transfer of information, transportation and catalyzing reaction.
Reflection: Overall this experiment I thought was kind of difficult. We took more time to figure out what to do and who's doing what. We messed up our calculations because we didn't double check our work with one another to see if it was correct. I personally felt like I did most of the work while the rest of my group just sat and talked about something random. Overall, eventually we did get the experiment done, but we do need to work on sharing the work equally and helping one another out with things.

Our second project was containing homeostasis, and we measured this from blood pressure. Each group picked a category to figure out how homeostasis works and is involved in our body. With this, we found an exercise to find out how it's exercised in our body to keep a steady movement. For this, we had two people who ran around the track. Before they ran, we took there blood pressure to find out there normal, then after they ran, we took there blood pressure again. We took there blood pressure every minute until it went back to it's normal blood pressure.

SYS (Systolic BP)-The lowest point of your body's pulse
DIA (Diastolic BP)-The highest point of your body's pulse
Pulse-The throbbing of the arteries while blood is going through them
Reflection: This project went sufficiently well. We got a lot of errors from the machine we were using to test our blood pressure, so some of the numberings we got might've been incorrect. Although, our group did contribute well, and we got what we needed to be done. I personally thought we could've split the work up more rather than having one person doing most of the work. Overall, the project went well, and we successfully figured out how homeostasis is involved in our body.
