Research Reflection and The Magic School Bus

Research Reflection:

For the past month we have been researching body systems on our own.
One good thing about doing it this way is we can really know what are we learning because we find the information to answer the question.
One thing I didn't like about doing in this way is that we will need to find more information and learn it from reading by our-self ,and for the ESL people it will be really hard to answer the question.

I think Mrs. Smith plan it this way because the people that don't like to listen in class will learn by their-self and follows the progress.
One suggestion for Mrs. Smith is to give us more web site to read and learn because some website wrote the different information. Another suggestion I have for Mrs. Smith is help us a little bit, so that we can quickly understand it.

One thing that is incorrect in "The Magic School Bus" is that foods don't need 10 hours to digest, it takes about 4 hours. Another thing that is incorrect is
