What We Did:

• Went over field trip forms


• Filled out a heartbeat worksheet


• Reviewed homework


• Looked over temperature regulation in the body (fig. 4, pg. 333)


• read/questions (pg. 336-8 q 2(337), 1(339))

Thoughts and Opinions

When we were going over the temperature regulation in your body, I wondered what the temperature of your body was. I also wondered what temperatures your body can "max out" at, in terms of the lowest it can be and the highest it can be until you die.

Above and Beyond

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_temperature, core body temperature is 36.8 degrees Celsius or 98.2 degrees Fahrenheit. The highest that any fever has ever been brought up to was 108.3 F. While the lowest that a cold has ever gotten to is just a couple degrees Fahrenheit lower then homeostasis.
