After a long, hot run together, your friend tells you that you should dunk your head into a cooler of water to lower your body temperature more rapidly, rather than sitting and waiting to cool down.  What do you think?  Form a hypothesis, about how the ice-cold water might affect the rate at which your body temperature returns to normal.  How could you test your hypothesis?  Explain your answer.
If daytime body temperature of some ectotherms were measured, the values would be fairly constant. Provide an explanation for such observations, giving some possible mechanisms that might be involved
