Which factor raised body temperature the most? ___Exercising___________
B. Why do you think this process raises body temperature? __Your body is doing the most movement and it requires several parts of the body
C. Which factor lowered body temperature the most? _____Sweating_______
D. Why do you think this process lowers body temperature? __it lowers body temperature to maintain the body’s equilibrium

Some responses to temperature changes, such as sweating and shivering, are involuntary—they occur automatically. Other actions, such as exercising or putting on clothes, are called voluntary responses because they are things we have to think about doing.
Question: In the Human Homeostasis Gizmo, you can control both involuntary and voluntary responses to temperature changes. How good are you at thermoregulation?
1. Play the Gizmo: Click Play. After one hour, the air temperature will start to fluctuate. Using what you have learned, try to maintain a steady body temperature by manipulating the Exercise level, Sweat level, Body position, and Clothing. (You may wish to click Pause occasionally to give yourself time to think.)
Click Pause after at least 10 hours have passed, if you can survive that long! Select the GRAPH tab and click the camera ([pic]) to take a snapshot of the graph. Paste that snapshot here.
