Warming up, Cooling down

1. This is a non-fiction text, why do you think the author begins with a narrative about Freddie on page 2? To explain how the body temperature of the human body

2. On page 6-7 there is a diagram of Freddie’s clothes and Aput’s clothes. Compare the two and consider which clothing would be warmer, and which would be more comfortable. Explain which items you would prefer to wear in the snow and why. I would rather wear the Aput’s clothes because there is alot of layering and insulation in the warm animal skin.

1. Present the information you have learnt about keeping warm and staying cool as an information report. You must:
1. Include one section on staying warm, and one on keeping cool.  
2. Use an example (either from the article or your own experience) to describe how to keep warm, stay cool.

How to keep warm.

Humans naturally keep warm with clothing or warm material. Some materials such as animal fur, wool etc. Another way of humans keeping warm is by moving their muscles and generating body heat. Your body core heat has to stay at a constant 37 degrees Celsius and if that goes to 36 - 38 you are either over heating or your freezing so you must stay at 37 degrees Celsius. If you ever go for a bush walk you must remember to keep warm and make sure you are always on top of your energy count just so you don’t go under hypothermia.

How to keep cool

When humans get to hot they start to sweat. When we sweat the body is cooling down but it will  also dehydrate you so when you are walking long/far distances you will always need to carry a water bottle with you. Also try and stay under alot of shade from trees and stuff just so you do not get a sunburn. Sweating cools you down by reducing the heat from your skin because when you sweat it evaporates from the heat in your body and it will take the heat along with it.
