Level#1: There are many different kinds of endocrine glands scattered throughout the human body. Endocrine glands produce chemical substances that are released directly into the bloodstream. These chemical substances are called hormones. Hormones regulate body functions.
1. What do endocrine glands produce and where do the things that are produced go?
2. What are the chemical substances that endocrine glands produce called?
3. What do hormones do?
Level#2: There are many different kinds of endocrine glands scattered throughout the human body. Endocrine glands produce chemical substances that are released directly into the bloodstream. These chemical substances are called hormones. Hormones regulate body functions. Different endocrine glands produce different hormones. Each gland has different functions. The thyroid gland releases a hormone that controls how quickly the body uses energy. The pancreas makes a hormone that controls the amount of sugar in the blood. The endocrine system plays an important part in maintaining a healthy body.
1. What do endocrine glands produce and where are the things that they produce released?
2. What are the chemical substances that the endocrine glands produce and what do they do?
3. Give two examples of endocrine glands and what each gland does.

The thyroid gland releases a hormone that controls how quickly the body uses energy. The pancreas makes a hormone that controls the amount of sugar in the blood. The endocrine system plays an important part in maintainIng a healthy body. Hormones produced by endocrine glands help to keep the body's cells and tissues in balance. Endocrine glands accomplish this balance by making sets of hormones that have opposite effects. In this way, the two hormones balance each other's effects.
1. What do endocrine glands produce, what are they called, and what do they do?
2. Endocrine glands have different functions give two examples and what each one does.

Subject: The Endocrine System: How many body functions are controlled.
Level#1: There are many different kinds of endocrine glands scattered throughout the human body. Together, they make up the endocrine system. The job of the endocrine system is to help control body functions. Many body functions are controlled by chemical messengers.
1. What do the many different kinds of endocrine glands in the body make up?
2. What is the job of the endocrine system?
3. What are many body functions controlled by?

Endocrine glands produce chemical substances that are released directly in the bloodstream. These chemical substances are called hormones. Hormones regulate body functions. Different endocrine glands produce different hormones. Each gland has a different function. For example, the thyroid releases a hormone that controls how quickly the body uses energy. The pancreas makes a hormone that controls the amount of sugar in the blood. Endocrine glands release their hormones into the space that surrounds them. Then, the hormones pass into the blood vessels. The blood carries the hormones throughout the body to the correct cells.
1. Explain what the endocrine system does and how it does it.
2. Explain what endocrine glands do, what the chemical substances they release are called, and what these substances do.

*To improve your MATH SKILLS spend at least 20 minutes practicing them using IXL.COM. (REMEMBER TO ENTER YOUR USER NAME AND PASSWORD WHEN LOGGING ON! THAT WILL BE PROOF THAT YOU DID IT!)
Level#1
One of the most common ear problems is an ear infection. Ear infections are caused by bacteria or viruses. Most ear infections are not serious. They can be treated with medicine. other hearing problems are harder to cure. People can lose some or all of their hearing after listen to music that is too loud or working with loud machinery. Sometimes, babies are born with damaged ear parts. This damage can cause loss of hearing or even total deafness.
1. What is one of the most common ear problems and what are its causes?
2. Are ear infections serious, and how can they be treated?
3. What can cause a person to lose their hearing?
Level#2

They can be treated with medicine. other hearing problems are harder to cure. People can lose some or all of their hearing after listen to music that is too loud or working with loud machinery. Sometimes, babies are born with damaged ear parts. This damage can cause loss of hearing or even total deafness. Operations can help, and so can hearing aids. One kind of hearing aid sends sounds directly to the inner ear. Another kind sends the sound waves through the skull bones just behind the ear. Then, the inner ear picks up the sound.
1. What can cause a person to lose some or all of their hearing and how can this problem be prevented?
2. What can some babies be born with, and what can this cause?
3. What can be done for a baby that is born with damaged ear parts?

Some problems with the ear can disrupt a person's balance. For example, vertigo is the feeling of dizziness. It can occur when a person rises too quickly from a sitting position, which affects the fluid in the inner ear.
1. Explain what causes ear infections, whether they are serious or not, and how they can be treated.
2. What are two examples of preventable hearing loss, and explain how a person can avoid losing their hearing in both cases.
3. What other problem, besides hearing loss, can be caused by a person's ears, how does this problem occur, and what part of a person's ear is affected?

Level#1
Most eye problems occur when the lens does not focus the "picture" exactly on the retina. A nearsighted person can see close objects clearly. Objects that are far away look fuzzy and blurred. Because the eyeballs are too long, a picture is focused in front of the retina, instead of on the retina. To a farsighted person, close objects look fuzzy, and faraway objects look clear and crisp. The eyeballs of the farsighted person are too short. A picture is focused behind the retina, instead of on the retina.
1. What causes objects that are far away to look fuzzy or blurred to a nearsighted person?
2. What do close objects look like to a farsighted person, and what do faraway objects look like?
3. Why do objects that are close look fuzzy or blurred to a farsighted person?

Level#1
Most eye problems occur when the lens does not focus the "picture" exactly on the retina. A nearsighted person can see close objects clearly. Objects that are far away look fuzzy and blurred. Because the eyeballs are too long, a picture is focused in front of the retina, instead of on the retina. To a farsighted person, close objects look fuzzy, and faraway objects look clear and crisp. The eyeballs of the farsighted person are too short. A picture is focused behind the retina, instead of on the retina.
1. When do most eye problems occur?
2. What can a nearsighted person see clearly?
3. What do objects that are far away look like to a nearsighted person?

The eyeballs of the farsighted person are too short. A picture is focused behind the retina, instead of on the retina. Eyeglasses can correct both these problems by adding an extra lens to each eye.
1. When do most eye problems occur, and what can a nearsighted person see?
2. What do objects that are far away look like to a nearsighted person, and what causes this to happen?
3. What do close objects look like to a farsighted person and what do faraway objects look like?

The eyeballs of the farsighted person are too short. A picture is focused behind the retina, instead of on the retina. Eyeglasses can correct both these problems by adding an extra lens to each eye. The extra lens move a picture backward or forward so that it is focused exactly on the retina. Contact lenses are small lenses that are worn on the cornea. Contact lenses provide the wearer with better overall vision than eyeglasses do.
1. Explain when most eye problems occur, and what a nearsighted person can and cannot see clearly.
2. Explain why a nearsighted person cannot see faraway objects clearly, and how a farsighted person sees.
3. Explain why a farsighted person cannot see close up objects clearly.
