For our first project in this class, we took the temperature of both Mikaella and Desi, before doing any activities, with a temperature probe at our forearms. Mikaella started off with the temperature of 87.7 and Desi did with a temperature of 78.1. Then, Mikaella began to try to rise her temperature by exercising around the room such as jogging, push-ups and jumping jacks. Desi iced her forearm. They both waited out for 2 minutes continuing the activities then took the temperature of there forearms again. This time Mikaella's temperature was 89.1 and Desi was 63.9. Mikaella and Desi continued on with our activities for another 3 minutes and once again took there temperatures again. Mikaella came in a whopping 90.1 while Desi actually rose a little to 64.8. Finally, we waiting out for 5 minutes going through the relaxation period. When we finally took our last temperatures Mikaella's was 88 even, and Desi was 69.1. In the beginning we all had a hypotenuse that there bodies would respond with homeostasis, and we were correct. While going through the relaxation period our bodies tried to regain order, Mikaella by sweating, and Desi by shaking. It was a pretty neat experiment to do.
