Ch 16 Evolutionary Theory Study Guide & Interactive Notebook Work; Updated TOC

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 

Test & Notebook Check: Wed. November 2nd!
Last day to turn in Quarter 1 work: Wed. November 2nd!

Test will be very similar in length & content to the Study Guide

Today's Agenda:

1. Complete Chapter 16: Evolutionary Theory STUDY GUIDE. Complete the study guide using your notebook and any worksheets, etc. You may work with elbow and table partners. Electronics are OK if you are productive and it is not a distraction. A study guide KEY will be up on the blog by the end of the day so you can check your work.

2. Work on Interactive Notebooks, updating table of contents, doing color processing, organizing, etc. with remaining time.

3. Return past work, tests, etc. You can include in your notebook or recycle if no longer needed.

1. What is evolution?

2. ___________ ___________ is the name of the person most associated with the study of evolution?

3. ___________ ___________ is the human practice of breeding animals or plants that have certain desired traits.

4. Suppose you are a farmer that grows pumpkins. Some of your plants produce large, orange pumpkins and some produce small, yellow pumpkins. Since we know that the demand this Halloween is going to be for large, orange pumpkins, how could I ensure that my crops produce the highest yield of large, orange pumpkins?

16.3 Evaluating Darwin's Ideas (10/27/16)  Guided Notes

Learning Objective: I can describe the types of evidence Darwin proposed to prove his theory of evolution.

1. In 1844 Charles Darwin published his ideas about evolution and natural selection in a book called On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection. 

2. Darwin's book included a thorough presentation of evidence that living species evolved from organisms that lived in the past. 

His evidence included the study of:

3.Fossils - the remains of an organism that lived long ago, most commonly preserved in sedimentary rock; studying fossils and living beings can reveal a pattern of gradual change from the past to the present

4.Biogeography - the study of the locations of organisms from around the world; can reveal similarities between organisms and their environments, evidence that similar environments shape the evolution of organisms in similar ways

5.Embryology - the study of the development of organisms from an embryo; can reveal patterns and structures that can prove that organisms share a common ancestor.

6.Anatomy - body structure; observation of the anatomy of an organism to another species can show relatedness

Evolution...review 1.1 questions; do worksheet 16.2 Applying Darwin's Ideas

Only 3A Days/3 B Days until the end of Quarter 1! 
Wednesday, November 2nd is the last day to turn in Quarter 1 work!

Please get out your interactive notebooks and turn to the next open right hand page.

Heading: The Great Volume Exchanger!

-(Right side) 10/21/16
Learning Objective: I can explain the steps of the scientific method, compare/contrast observations, and analyze and interpret data to create a model by observing the Great Volume Exchanger demonstration.

Let's recall the steps in the Scientific Method 
(turn back in your notebooks to page 14 & 15)...


1. Make an observation
2. Ask a question
3. Form hypothesis
4. Make a prediction
5. Test your hypothesis with experimentation
6. Analyze data
7. Draw a conclusion




Ms. Ferro's Invention...The Great Volume Exchanger!

The Great Volume Exchanger (GVE) will spontaneously generate liquid matter!
With our water shortages, you can imagine the potential! We could supply the water needs of an entire community at a fraction of the cost of our current system.

I will make sooo much money $$$$$$$!

It's still in the testing phase of production and isn't commercially available yet, but I can show you the prototype as an example of a natural phenomenon so you can practice using your powers of observation, much as a scientist would.

The GVE in Action

-On the right hand side of your interactive notebook, draw what you see (the GVE setup) independently in your notebook. Leave room underneath for some writing.

-I need a volunteer to read the water volume of the beaker before I pour it in. Record in notes.

-Watch and listen very carefully as I demonstrate the GVE. Observe everything that is done in detail.

-Take a liquid measurement again (volunteer to take volume). Calculate difference between how much went in and how much came out, write down under diagram.

-We have a problem here! What is it? Under your diagram, state the problem briefly in your own words.

-Take 5 minutes independently to form a hypothesis by drawing a cross section of what you think is happening inside the GVE in your notebook. Use observations and be specific, labeling your drawing with an explanation.

-Materials Manager, please get one piece of paper & a marker for your group.

-Now each person can share their ideas with their team, voting for the best idea and drawing it on your team's paper. You can also collaborate to come up with a new group model (hypothesis). (10 mins)

-Reporter in each group shares out the best selected idea. Be able to describe in detail what you think is happening and HOW, and use your drawing to demonstrate it. Be able to answer questions from fellow classmates about your model and how it works.

-Which group's model seems most likely to be the best one, and why?

Nature of Science Concepts-GVE

-Models are used in science to explain and predict how things work.

-Science is uncertain because scientists can make more than one workable model to explain their observations.

-We limit the uncertainty through collaboration.

How do you think you could test your model?

Exit Slip: Write down a proposed experiment to test your hypothesis. (5 mins)

Sorry...I can't reveal my invention yet, it's not copyrighted! ;)

Begin Chapter 16: Evolutionary Theory; Do 16.1 Developing a Theory textbook questions

Grades from interactive notebook and tests are in Synergy (You'll get Unit 1 tests back once everyone has taken the test)

Makeup and retakes on tests must be done during tutorial this Thursday or Friday!

Get notebooks back if needed (on my desk)

Begin Chapter 16: Evolutionary Theory

Watch What is Evolution video as introduction

1. Write heading: Ch 16 Evolutionary Theory at top of p.21 (or p.23 if you glued in your Ch. 1 Study Guide) 10/17/16

2. Under that, write 16.1 Developing a Theory and today's
Learning Objective: I can discuss evolutionary theory and how it explains many aspects of biology.

3. Dismiss by table to get a textbook 

4. Read pages 375-379


5. Write down definitions for evolution and artificial selection 

6. Answer Key Ideas questions #1-3 and Critical Thinking #4. Write down the question as well as the answer in complete sentences.

7. Then, show what you learned about this topic through color processing on your left-hand page (p.20 or 22)

You will get a checkmark for your questions and processing when you are finished.

Chapter 1 Test & Notebook Check

Chapter 1 Test today! 

-Use first 20 minutes of class to study for your test and finish up notebooks

-Turn in interactive notebook for 50 points before test

-Test taking expectations:

Chapter 1 Test and Interactive Notebooks due Wed., 10/12!!!

1.3 Measurement/SI Units

1.3 Tools & Techniques (Measurement Systems) 10/4/16

Learning Objective: I can describe the various units of measurements that scientists use to make observations, gather, and record data.

Measurements taken by scientists are expressed in the International System of Units (SI; Systeme Internationale), which is the official name of the metric system.

The International System of Units is used by all scientists because they need to share a common measurement system for consistency of data. SI is also preferred by scientists because it is scaled in multiples of 10, which makes the system easy to use.

measurement - a determination of the dimensions of something using a standard unit; example: 5 centimeters, 12 liters, 7 kilograms, 30 seconds.

The most common measurements we use in science are time, mass, length, area, volume, & temperature.

unit - a quantity adopted as a standard of measurement; example: centimeter (cm), liter (L), kilogram (kg), second (sec).

quantity - a specific magnitude, size, or amount expressed in a numerical value; example: 5 cm, 12 L, 7 kg, 30 sec

What is the quantity and unit of the following measurements?

50 mL 

4.0 mg

53 cm^2

Do worksheet 1.3 'Metric Worksheet' with table groups.

Glue into notebooks on right hand side, p.19.

Do left side color processing on p.18.
