Purpose
The purpose of the homeostasis investigation project was to find our own way to test the presence of the process of homeostasis in our bodies.My group tested homeostasis through water levels in our body. We were to test how the water levels in our body changed due to a certain variable then to see how these levels returned to normal.

The project
During this project and working with my group, i learned a lot about how the process of homeostasis work. This improved my understanding of biology because this a a very big part of how the human body functions.
Key Terms
Homeostasis- the tendency toward a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes.
Example- When your glucose levels are too high your body releases insulin

Reflection
There were many things done right in this project and also many things done wrong. Some things done well were the laying out of the timeline so we knew what we needed to do. Another thing that we did well was finding the materials that we needed for the lab. These allowed our lab to flow smoothly throughout most of the process.
Some things that went wrong through the lab were the procedure not being laid out in an organized manner and the distribution of responsibilities throughout the group to give everyone an equal work load.
