Make study guides
Topic

Number One

Ben’s Beach

 

On a bench in the room we have two specimens

Your mission is to photograph and measure the specimens

 

You are then to look up the organisms and try and identify what the organisms are.

 

 
Topic

Number Two

Welcome to the world of Porifera

http://study.com/academy/lesson/phylum-porifera-definition-characteristics-examples.html

 

An edutainment video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8a0oNsDEx8

 

Lets say you google”video and porifera” and you get this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSJkvar0PZw

 

Is this a good source of information?

Does the video begin with a happy song and tries to baffle you with lots of words?

 

Before viewing the video, check the reference…it could be some one’s bio project and they have not checked their facts…porifera are no radial!

 

So when you sniff out information online, always question the source!

 

 

What if the information is too detailed yet really informative?

 

Now you have a video to point out some of the basic terminology and processes.

 

As you listen to the video, do you see or hear the words used on your study guide.

 

What diagrams are they using? What processes are they focusing on?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3t8xGHbMmUQ

 

let the video cycle and see what other information follows

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BX2WSoUDKc

 

Your mission is to filter just like a sponge! Can you find data and videos to answer seven basic questions about their biology.

 

 

Using your filter skills create a study guide for cnidarians and porifera. Use a legal size piece of paper.

 

Prior to making your study guide, look at your text and attempt to fill gap notes. Notice how the gap notes are organized to focus both on activities of life and big idea. Check out answer key in class before the next class.

 

 

 
Topic

Number Three

 

The purpose of a “cheat sheet” is to provide a framework or map to answer more challenging questions.

 

The number one challenge to making a good study guide is to how to take an inherent curiosity and make an organized “map” to show your journey.

 

Visual aids

A)   if you were to find a drawing of a basic porifera, what would it show?

 

B)   It show structures and you need to show how those structures are linked to functions.

 

 

C)  Perhaps you should have a flow chart to show a process. For example what are the cells involved in the process of digestion or reproduction.

D)  c) It could be a graph, to show how the process changes with time. For example how cellular respiration.

Definitions

A)   it is a waste of space to have definitions with out a means to put those definitions to work. For example: Porifera Reproduction is both asexual and sexual. What is missing is what do porifera use for both processes and why one is used verses the other. If you are going to write down definitions, always link them to other term and use them in an example.

B)   Create your own definition. Look up several definitions in the text, online and even youtube. Then create a definition that you could use perhaps with a definition.

C)  Memorizing is not learning. If you observe a thing, how can that observation be linked to either an activity of life or a big idea in biology.

 

Lets say that you are making a map. What would you include on that map? Would you have a compass direction? Would you show a possible path to follow. What are the landmarks that you are hoping to include to get from point A to B.

 

Consider the following

Consider that a big idea is much like a large city. It has connections to all the suburbs with highways, trains, airport. We understand these “ideas” by what “observations” support them. How can going one way get us to the city. How can an observation support or challenge an idea?

 

 

Now does you study guide include information found on these videos

Take Home Message In math..the solution is to follow the rules, BEDMAS and find the answer…perhaps in the book.

 

In physics, the solution is..break the problem into separate steps, use the formula and do not spend time online seeking you question ..answers may be in the back of the book.

 

In Chemistry..well a solution is a mixture of both solvent and solute, it has properties and is generated by the magic of water as a universal solvent. Look for terms like tonicity,ph,rules and rules that are broken..

 

In Biology..a solution is to listen to the story, identify both observations and link them to concepts. It is a challenge to question what may or may not be appearing in front of your eyes. Can you identify bovine feces? The glossary is in the back of the book.

 

Thank you Simon

Can you download “gymnosperm quiz” from Science teachers.com?

 

Are you able to have unique facts about all the gymnosperm species?

 

Can you answer how gymnosperms have adapted to living in both deserts and mountians?

 

Do you have a generic and specific life cycle with information on pollination and gameto and spermato phyte adaptions?

 

Work together as a group yet have your own unique strategy for putting down information for your self.

 
Topic

Number Two

Angiosperms

These will be multiple choice questions. Remember that Angiosperms are the masters of adaption. How have they changed fertilization and pollination to make fruit? What are the names of all the structures they have used to adapt? Why have angiosperms become so successful in adapting?

 

For both gymno and angio worksheets, get quizlet info yet realize a lot of this stuff is for what level questions.

 
Topic

Number Three

Welcome to the world of multicellular animals and invertebrates! Will update in class.

 

We will have a worksheet and powerpoint to introduce this unit!

 

What are charuacteristics of an animal?

https://nationalzoo.si.edu/Animals/Invertebrates/

http://animals.about.com/od/animal-facts/a/animal-characteristics.htm

http://animals.about.com/od/animal-facts/a/animal-characteristics.htm

 

Basic question to ponder..

Plant have tissues, hormones, and unique life cycles to get water and to reproduce. They also make their own energy.

 

So you are now an animal. How do you get your food? How do you digest that food? How do you coordinate a new group of tissues to move? These and many other cool questions are now on the table.

 

Make sure to sign up for “biobucks”. Notice new visitors in the classroom and see what happened with pea plants!

Topic Two Starting with 1.1

So where do we begin the journey of learning about life?

If we looked at all living things we could organize our observations

The size of the living thing or how that living thing relates to non living things.

1.1 Starts with the frontier of living and non living things.

 

 

Please note the levels of organization below.

Please put each on a cue card and give your own definition and an example.

Where do we start to consider the interactions between living and non living things?

 

 

Levels of organization

When we look at small things we go from:

·      Energy

·      Atoms and molecules

·      Biomolecules

·      Cells

·      Tissues

·      Organs

·      Systems

 

When we look at larger mixed living and non living we go from

·      Species

·      Population

·      Community

·      Ecosystem

·      Biomes

 

And now an youtube from team batman

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFoOW-7FPc8

 

 
Topic Three So we are about to look at living and non living things in the classroom!

 

The question is..”How can we take observations and convert them into ideas and or theories?”.

 

Hear are some some suggestions

Heat is a sum of?

What is the unit for heat?

What are the three types of heat transfer?

Can you give an example of three types of heat transfer?

 

The behavior of things getting hot or cold is explored in a topic called “thermodynamic”. There are distinct “laws” of thermodynamics.

 

Temperature is a measurement of “average speed of kinetic energy or average speed of molecules”. Temperature is a quantitative value.

What is the difference between body waves and surface waves? And between P-waves and S-waves?

 

Body waves travel through the interior of the Earth. On the other hand, surface waves propagate only at the interface between two different media, like the interface between Earth and atmosphere (i.e. the surface of the Earth).Body waves are of two types: Primary waves (also called P-waves, or pressure waves) and Secondary waves (S-waves, or shear waves).P-waves are compression waves. They can propagate in solid or liquid material S-waves are shear waves. They only propagate in solid material. By studying the trajectories of S-waves, scientists could prove that the Earth had a liquid outer core.

 

1.   Comparing seismic activity as waves (SPL)

2.   Why graph seismic activity as time verse distance? ( An online assignment)

·      It allows us to calculate epicenters of earthquakes! (http://home.wlu.edu/~kuehns/VirtualEarthquake.pdf

·      http://regentsprep.org/regents/earthsci/eqwaves.htm

·      http://www.oakton.edu/user/4/billtong/eas100lab/lab10quake.htm

(Select one of the three and put into duotang)

 

3.   Lets simplify..

·      Primary waves “push”. They are compression waves and are the fastest waves.

·      Secondary waves “sway sideways”. They are transverse waves. They are the second fastest.

·      L waves are like ripples on an pond. They cycle and are the slowest and yet the most dangerous. L for long time…longitudinal..late..and only occurring on surface of earth.

Volcanism or Vulcanism..but no Mr Spock

This is the story of magma moving through plates

Some questions to consider

·      How are volcanoes formed and how many types are there?

·      What is the affect of volcanoes on the weather and climate?

·      How have volcanoes affected world civilizations?

Number Three

How do we compare volcanoes to earthquakes?

Well both will generally affect your day..

 

Earthquakes are events occurring due to shifting of plates.

Volcanoes are magma moving and then being released between plates.

Number Two

Using the resources

You have both a workbook and an online resource to focus on course material.

One key skill is the ability to do multiple choice questions.

Basic tricks

a)   select the wrong answers and eliminate

b)   with the final two answers, select the questions that is correct all the time.

c)    Do not wobble..no second quesing question answer!

When studying information work through levels of learning by asking questions.

Simple inquiry

What, Where and When

Example:

What is a subduction zone. Notice that most answers are things or nouns.

How and why questions:

These questions involve explaining an event or thing using other concepts and actions. If you memorize the basic facts you are only getting half the story.

Topic

Layers of the earth.

What are some common myths about the layers of the earth?

How do solids behave differently than liquids when they move?

How does energy move differently between a solid, liquid and a gas?
