Introduction
Water Park
We’ve designed a Water Park that closely resembles the Male Reproductive
System. A total of 10 attractions that holds a theme of each and every designated
organ of such system. Each attraction are designed to teach the visitors or relate to
the idea of how each organ function in their own ways. The male reproductive
system of the testes, seminal vesicles, glands, etc. as the idea of the ticket booth, to
the swimming pool, and to the end is the long slide, we would teach each and every
visitors to understand the purpose of a reproductive system as they splash water
onto their friends and family.
Attractions
1) Ticket Booth
Visitors are first greeted with the Ticket Booth that closely resembles the
Ureter. The Ureter is the beginning entrance of the Male Reproductive System,
where visitors has to pay the fee to enjoy the Grand Opening of Wild Water
Resorts! The Reproductive System starts from such muscle fibers because it is first
met with the bladder and the bladder is connected with various organs that play a
role in producing and transferring sperm cells.
2) Swimming Pool
Here, we have a nice swimming pool where you can have a good time with
your friends and family. The pool offers its visitors a diving board which you can
jump off of into the pool with, two-speed slides that’ll ferociously slide you down
into the pool, and a funnel slide that’ll lead you into the pool. Each of these
attractions are all connected to the pool in some sort of way, which enables its
users to have an even more entertaining time than if they were just in a normal
swimming pool. The swimming pool is supposed to resemble the bladder, because
it’s the beginning of the reproductive system, due to having several organs all
connected to each other in the prostate, that is right after the bladder.
Attractions
3) Water Target
The Water Target is for everyone who doesn’t necessarily have a good aim.
The game is meant to be fun for everyone, from children to full grown adults.
People would shoot a water gun to that of a decent pressure to take down the
inanimate ducks as targets. The Water Target represents the seminal vesicles
because of how the organ secrets 70 to 85 percent of the materials that are present
in sperm cells. It is a rather thick secretion, which is why the Water Guns shoot at a
pretty good pressure.
4) Lazy River
The lazy river is for those who want to sit back and relax while moving
around in the waterpark. You can sit comfortably on a floaty as you traverse
through the lazy river. The lazy river is supposed to represent the vas deferens, a
long thin organ that’s a part of the male reproductive system. The long organ is
connected from the Epididymis to the Seminal Vesicle to convey the sperm cells
from the epididymis to the Ejaculatory Duct. The sperm cells in this model can be
represented as the little donut shaped floatie as it gets transported.
Attractions
5) Restaurant
After trying out some of the attractions, you might end up getting famished.
Thankfully, this waterpark offers its visitors a restaurant where they can satisfy
their thirst and hunger. The restaurant represents the prostate gland, because it is
responsible for producing the necessary component for around 70 percent of
semen, as well as Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) that aids the success of sperm
by liquefying it
6) Funnel Slide
Another highly enjoyable attraction that we offer our visitors is called the
“Funnel Slide.” In the funnel slide, you get to enter a floaty that orbits around the
slide. If you take a good look at this slide, then you might come to realize that the
funnel slide has a round shape much like the Cowper's Gland. The organ serves the
purpose of protecting sperm as it passes through the Urethra. Just like the floaty
has protection as it enters the funnel slide.
Attractions
7) Ball Pit
Next to the Lazy River (Vas Deferens) and the Restaurant (Prostate Gland),
we are met with large inanimate rabbits. The rabbits are the ball pits, where kids
can have fun for almost an eternity. It represents the ejaculatory duct, where there
are an abundant amount of semen present until ejaculation takes place. As sperm
passed through the ejaculatory duct, it becomes more active and motile, meaning
that the sperm cells are moving and swimming fast. This reflects on how kids that
play in the ball pit become hyperactive and excited.
8) Bumper Boats
In this area, you can hop onto a bumper boat that’s designed to look like a
sperm cell to essentially play, “Bumper Cars” with others who have also entered a
boat. You guys can clash against each other, splash water, etc. The wall of the arena
represents the boundary of the Testes itself while the “boats”, that are inanimate
ducks that represent the Sperm cells. The Testes has 2 functions, is to either
produce sperm or to produce hormones (testosterone).
Attractions
9) Half Pipe Slide
To enjoy the half pipe slide, you first must walk up some stairs in order for
you to gain some elevation. Once you get up to the half pipe slide, you get to
actually enjoy the attraction. The half pipe slide might be a little frightening to go
on, but in the end it’s probably one of the most enjoyable attractions that we have
to offer in this waterpark. The half pipe slide is supposed to represent the
epididymis.
Communicate Ideas
When we were brainstorming on what attractions we could use and how the
amusement park could be made, we were also discussing these things with the
people in our group. Because of this, I believe that we have utilized the GPO,
“Communicate Ideas” in our project.
Take Action
When we started to build the actual theme park, we started to gather the materials
needed, built the attractions, and created multiple blueprints of how the themed
waterpark was going to be like. For all of these actions, I believe that we’ve taken
action in this project.
Recognize Perspectives
As we communicated with each other, we definitely started to recognize each
other’s perspectives as we were having our arguments and discussions. Because of
these discussions and arguments, I believe that we have recognized perspectives. In
the end, we conclude a common agreement and better understand the Reproductive
System.
