Essential Question
Can stress affect your health?
I chose this question because most people now in days get stressed a lot, and I just wanted to research this topic so I could find out, what stress does to ones body? Is it good or bad for you? What can you do to De-stress? I thought it'd be fun to choose a topic that pertains to everyone.
Explanation of Topic
Can stress affect your health?
What do I already know about stress? Well, stress can affect your body in many ways. Sometimes stressing is a good thing, but stressing too much can lead to multiple problems in your health. Stress is a common trait that every human being has, sometimes it's difficult to just relax. Knowing that we all get stressed, makes me think "Why don't we just take a little time for ourselves?" What do i hope to gain? I hope to gain more information about stress and how it effects the body.
My Process
Chapter 6. Angela's Day: How One Teen Deals With Stress
THE SCIENCE OF STRESS. (cover story)
Future Steps
Further Research that I think that needs to be done would be taking more time out to really read the article or book to gain more perspective about the concept.
Reflection
My overall process using Genius Hour, was very difficult for me, but very Informative. I learned that there are various ways that stress can affect your health. All of the sources i placed on here was very relative to my Research and actually i didn't have a problem for the article (maybe some kinks, but not a big deal). In more detail some of the information kept repeating its way over throughout the other articles just in a different way.
