---------------------------------

After Mrs. Stein's creative way of waking us up, we started off the day when you walked into class, you were supposed to pick up a new unit packet, a new calendar, and then Mrs. Stein passed out our grade reports; it had our Digestions & Excretion Test scores' on them. Next, we were to do a sort-of activity, with 1 or 2 other people, in the UP packet - page 9 - and they were questions based on what you already know about the circulatory system. After that, Mrs. Stein just went over the answers in class before the bell rang. Finally, Mrs. Stein showed us one of her other "pump it up" songs to us while we were heading onto our next class.


Here are the answers to the packet questions:

#1: earthworm (5 pairs = 10 hearts)
#2: 5 liters
#3: 50% water, 45% red blood cells, & 5% salt, hormones, minerals, proteins, etc.

#7: 7 mm
#8: Rhosus Monkey
#9: female - 1/2 lb. male - 0.7 lb (size of a fist)
#10: 30% larger, 400 grams

#12: 1.5 million
