Part 3:
Stop and Jot
1) Homeostasis – How the body normally operates. For example, our body is usually 98.6 degrees F. If we have a fever, our body is out of homeostasis.
2) Dynamic equilibrium – the body working to keep the body in homeostasis.
3) Negative feedback – When the body responds to unnormal conditions so it can go back to homeostasis.
Ex 1: When your body temperature increases, you start sweating to lower the temperature.
Ex 2: When your body temperature decreases, you start shivering to increase your body temp.
Part 4
Comic Strip
Directions: Create a comic strip that represents a specific negative feedback loop. Use one of the negative feedback loops below or come up with your own. Research the negative feedback loop in order to make the comic.
The comic must:
1) Be creative and colorful.
2) Explain how the body is out of homeostasis (normal conditions).
3) Explain how the body is trying to bring it back to normal conditions using negative feedback.
Comic Strip Topics:
Body Temp Increasing
Body Temp Decreasing
