today we talked about calories and how they affect your everydat activities. we ewent through and did a 24v hour outline of the things we do most days and the found out how many calories we needed to eat every day and we also found out if we were getting to many calories aday.

Kyle

Today we calculated our calorie requirements based on out age, height, weight, gender, and activities. We learned about our B.E.E, and then did a computer model of obesity. It was really fun, especially the computer modelling.

Zach

Yeah, well today is the last day. We got to work with Stella again today. We made a new model on calories, metabolism, and exercise. I thought that was fun. We also had to do a survey on this workshop. That was really boring. All in all I thought the workshop was fun.

We made a new model in STELLA today. It was basically about calories. I found out that one pound is 3500 calories. I also found out some stuff about nerve cells and how information gets spread throughout the body through them.
