When is yur first unit test? 2. What are tw things that I am expecting yu t knw at the end f this unit? 1.1 Scientific Methd Observatins: We use ur senses t gather infrmatin abut the wrld arund us. There are tw types f bservatins. Types f bservatins: - Qualitative Observatin: Clr, shape, feel, taste, sund Example: - Quantitative Observatin: Based n exact measurements Example: Inference: a lgical interpretatin f an event that is based n bservatins and prir knwledge (nt testable) - Example:
Name: 8/23/16 Objective: Students will be able t use the steps f the scientific methd t cmplete an experiment. 1. Determine if the fllwing bservatins are qualitative r quantitative. a. The clr f a student s hair. b. The number f students with blnd hair. c. The texture f a dg s fur. d. The height f a table in inches. e. The number f bacteria strains n a keybard. f. The clr f the leaves f a plant that grws in a dark place. 8/24/16 Objective: Students will be able t analyze graphical data and draw cnclusins. 1. In the relatinships belw circle the dependent variable and underline the independent variable. (lk fr things that can be measured) a. Peple gain weight based n the amunt f calries they take in. b. The amunt f sunlight available influences hw fast a tmat will ripen. c. The amunt f televisin watched by children impacts attentin span. 2. Hypthesis The mre time a student spends thinking befre blurting ut, the less time they spend in the Assistant Principals ffice. a. Draw and fill in the independent and dependent variables in the space belw: 8/25/16 Objective: Students will be able t analyze graphical data and draw cnclusins. 1. Draw a T-chart t cmpare and cntrast a scientific law and a scientific thery.
8/28/16 Objective: Students will be able t classify an bject as living r nn-living using the 8 characteristics f life. The fllwing graph cmpares the grwth f plants that were kept in the sun fr different amunts f time. Use the graph t answer the fllwing questins. 1. On day 7, the plants kept in the sun fr 3 hurs were hw tall? 2. On day 7, the plants kept in the sun fr 6 hurs were hw tall? 3. Write a sentence t cmpare the relatinship f the tw plants in questins 1 and 2. 4. What cnclusin can yu make abut the plants based n the graph?
1.2 Characteristics f Life Bilgy= Levels f rganizatin What characteristics d all living things share? 1. Living things directins fr inheritance (DNA) 2. Living things Sme rganisms are made f nly ne cell and sme are made f trillins f cells. Cells are small self-cntained units f living material that are separated frm the surrundings by a barrier. The cell - Unicellular = _ Multicellular = 3. Living things Metablism = chemical reactins in the bdy Animals eat t btain energy Plants phtsynthesize 4. Living things Grwth = getting larger Develpment = changing shape and structure Differentiatin = cells lk different and perfrm different functins 5. Living things Stimulus = a signal
Respnse = a reactin Organisms live in a cnstantly changing envirnment. 6. Living things Sexual = DNA frm 2 different parents Asexual = single parent (clning, budding) 7. Living things Life has changed significantly ver the histry f the earth. The prcess f this change is knwn as evlutin. 8. Living things The steady state (balance) inside an rganism s bdy is knwn as While the envirnment utside changes an rganism must be able t keep cnditins inside mstly the cnstant. If hmestasis is disturbed the rganism will becme sick and will die if the balance is nt fixed. Reading and Questins: Read the fllwing excerpt frm Miller and Levine Bilgy (2014). After cmpleting the reading, answer the fllwing questins n a separate piece f paper, t be turned int the teacher. 1. Of the scientists mentined in the article, which d yu think was mst influential in shaping ur current understanding f the cell and cell thery? Why? 2. Based n what yu knw abut the scientific methd, hw was it used in ur discvery new infrmatin abut the cell and frming cell thery? Please explain yur respnse.
8/29/16 Objective: Students will be able t classify an bject as living r nn-living using the 8 characteristics f life. The line graph shws the number f wrms cllected and their lengths. Use the graph t answer the fllwing questins. 1. What length f wrm is the mst cmmn? 2. What was the lngest wrm fund? 3. Hw many wrms were 6 cm lng? 4. What des the peak f the curve f the graph represent? 5. What cnclusin can yu make abut the wrms based n the graph?
8/30/16 Objective: Students will be able t use PEA frmat t make an argument abut the characteristics f life. 1. Which f the fllwing statements is false? a. Tissues exist within rgans which exist within rgan systems. b. Cmmunities exist within ppulatins which exist within ecsystems. c. Organelles exist within cells which exist within tissues. d. Cmmunities exist within ecsystems which exist in the bisphere. 2. Using examples, explain hw bilgy can be studied frm a micrscpic apprach t a glbal apprach. Vcabulary Scramble: Use the definitin t unscramble the vcabulary wrd. Then, draw a picture f the vcabulary wrd. Wrd Definitin Picture gbyli The study f life ishsatmse The ability f and rganism t maintain a cnstant internal envirnment. lecl The smallest fundamental unit f structure and functin in living rganisms. emlmatbis The chemical reactins in the rganism. rwhgt Getting larger. vmeeledpnt Changing shape and structure. tlenuvi Change in a species ver time.
8/31/16 Objective: Students will be able t use the steps f the scientific methd t cmplete an experiment. 1. Withut using yur ntes, list the 8 characteristics f life. 9/1/16 Objective: Students will demnstrate their knwledge f the scientific methd and characteristics f life n a unit review. 1. G back t the frnt page f this packet and read thrugh the essential utcmes. Put a star next t the tpics that yu still have questins abut. Put a check mark next t the tpics that yu feel cnfident abut. 2. Hw are yu ging t g abut learning thse tpics that have a star next t them? 9/5/16 Objective: Students will demnstrate their knwledge f the scientific methd and characteristics f life n a unit test. 1.
