Level#1:  All cells need nutrients and oxygen. These materials help cells to carry out life functions. Cells also produce wastes. Cells need to get rid of these wastes. Your cells need certain materials. These materials are brought to your cells by blood. Blood flows throughout your body. It carries oxygen and nutrients to all your body cells.

1. What are the materials that help cells to carry out life functions?







2. How do cells get the materials that they need?






3. What do all cells produce and need to get rid of?








Level#2: All cells need nutrients and oxygen. These materials help cells to carry out life functions. Cells also produce wastes. Cells need to get rid of these wastes. Your cells need certain materials. These materials are brought to your cells by blood. Blood flows throughout your body. It carries oxygen and nutrients to all your body cells. When cells carry out life functions, they also produce wastes. Some of these wastes include carbon dioxide and water. Blood carries these wastes away from body cells.

1. What materials do all cells need to carry out life functions?






2. What do cells produce when they carry on life functions and what are these wastes?






3. When blood flows through the body what is brought to cells and what is carried away from them?

Directions: ANSWER USING COMPLETE SENTENCES! Use the information you have been given to answer questions about: Disorders of the sense organs: Common and more serious Ear Problems

*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


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. 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?








Level#3

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. 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?

Directions: ANSWER USING COMPLETE SENTENCES! Use the information you have been given to answer questions about: Disorders of the sense organs: Nearsighted and Farsighted vision.

*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

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#2

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. Eyeglasses can correct both these problems by adding an extra lens to each eye.

1. Why do objects that are close up look fuzzy to a farsighted person?

2. What does having eyeballs that are too short cause?







3. What can eyeglasses do for people who are either near or farsighted ?

Level#3

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. 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 how eyeglasses are able to correct a person's vision if they are either near or farsighted.








2. Explain what the extra lenses that eyeglasses provide do to correct a person's vision.

3. Explain what contact lenses are, and why they are considered to be a better option over eyeglasses.
