Edward Jenner

Edward Jenner was a doctor.  He figured out a way to get rid of smallpox by noticing that people who had cows were immuned to smallpox because they all had a case of cowpoxs.  He took a young boy who had small pox and took some pus, then he injected him with cowpox later on.  He gave him cowpoxs and the kid got better. 

My Summary of the Ear

I have learned so much stuff from cochlear implants to test to figure out hearing.  One of the first things I learned would be the website that I did it was so cool.  It showed you how sound is produced and how to measure the sound and frequency with hertz, frequencies, and other stuff like that.  They showed how they measured it but something that kinda looks like an EKG and they also showed sound through glass cups.  Another thing was our patient, where we did a powerpoint over patient 10 which had otosclerosis which is a disease that has someone deaf in one ear then it goes to the next ear that was a lot of fun. Another great project was the ear diagram which was cool where we looked at an ear diagram and made a 3-D diagram with playdough. The next section I learned about the Rinne test with the sound fork. The way the sound fork works is by hitting it on your wrist getting it to ring and then put it up to the bone on the back of the ear.  Then when you can't hear it anymore than they take the end of sound fork and point it at the ear then keep hearing the ring they would do that with a graph and take the information and plug it into the diagram.  Then later on in this section we did the noise and sound test which is where we put headphones on and listened to a thing on a website and had to listen for numbers, then there is a keypad on the screen you type in the numbers that you hear that was a little bit difficult but it got easier the later you went on.  The next section was about the famous debate which was so cool because people would say something then people would later snap back at them with some more informative information.  They would have us research stuff then we would use it against them.  There was a pro and a con teams which was cool.  We had a lot of fun learning so much about the famous EAR.
