Skeletal System Unit Exam- 108%The Skeletal Unit was probably my favorite system we covered this year. Being able to name all the bones in the body, including the three small ear bones, to my friends was an incredible feat. They hated it, of course, but any chance that I got, I would recite all the bones from cranium to phalanges. This is also my favorite exam from the year. I enjoyed taking it, unlike most others. I knew all the information and it showed with my score. The Skeletal Unit was by far the most interesting and fun unit we discussed.

Muscular System Text Book Pages- 98%
Everyone kept telling me that the Muscular Unit would be the hardest of the year. That was not the case for me. I thought we would have to learn many more muscles than we did, considering there's over 600 in the body. Being a soccer player and an athlete in general helped out a lot with the anatomy side of this unit. I'm forever straining or pulling muscles all over my body, so I was able to keep up with the basic muscles we were taught. This was not my favorite system ever, but it also was not my least favorite.
Nervous System Exam- 103%I missed a lot of school during the nervous system unit, but I still managed to understand it the days I was there because of the way Mrs. Carignan teaches and the notes my classmates took to share with me. This was a very interesting system to learn about. The different parts of the brain, how they affect the body, and neurological diseases were the most interesting sections of this unit. I'm proud of this exam because I got a perfect score plus bonus, and I came in first place for it.

Reproductive System Exam- 102%The Reproductive System Unit was the easiest one to learn about since most of it was taught to us in previous health classes. The little details that were never mentioned in those classes were interesting to learn about. This exam was pretty difficult for me though. I missed quite a few days for this unit too and trying to fill in the blanks on my notes was hard. I somehow managed to retain all the information and actually learn about the system on my own to score a 102% on this test. I'm proud of that.

Immune System Poster- 103%
This Immune System poster was probably the most creative thing we were required to make all year. I enjoyed being able to come up with a different scenario to relate to the invasion of pathogens and how the immune system reacts to it. My group worked really well together on it to, and we created a gorgeous, colorful, and easy to read product. I'm proud of this since I'm normally artistically disabled and this was the best I could do.
