Evidence of work/The complete collection and guide to the 2019 homeostasis lab of Zane, Tanner, and James
Our project
For this lab we had to create an experiment that proved homeostasis was present in the bodies levels of ph. We did this by testing how different foods effected our bodies acidity over time before and after eating the food. We found that ph could rise or fall with different foods but it would always use homeostasis to return back to normal.
Content
PH- Unit used to measure the acidity of a liquid. 0 being most acidic and 14 being the least
Homeostasis- The function present in living organisms where it subconsciously does something in reaction to fix something else being out of its healthy level
Chemical Buffer- A chemical compound that is released to fix the problem in homeostasis.
Alkaline- the lack of acidity
Independent variable-Variable in the experiment that is changed between tests
Dependent variable-Variable that changes in response to the independent variable
Control-Test that shows what happens with no changed variables
Scientific Method-Observation, Research, Hypothesis, Plan Experiment, Do Experiment, Analyze Data, Conclusion, Share Results.
Feedback loop- When one area or function of the body is misaligned it is detected then it sends a reaction to fix it.

Reflection
At the beginning of this project we had a very rough start. Our team collaborated very poorly and we often ended up yelling and fighting. Wee needed to work on our collaboration in order to get the project done so we decided to just crank out our project and to stop fighting. We also need to work on being nicer to each other and by the end we stopped fighting.
We did a very good job of dividing the work and doing our tests. We were all very happy with our lab because it provided us with perfect data and was fairly easy. All our teammates played there part in the data and we all helped put together our document well. We did a good job of taking the project serious it the end and we ended up being very proud of our research
