2 Review of Chapter 9 Average Review

3 Calculating displacement using area of a triangle

Topic

Number One

Activity One:

What is Inertia? Demo with “Pat”

Activity Two

Besides uniform motion, what are three things that remain constant.

Paradox: Define? Example?

Change: examples of change?

Humor: Is it unique to humans?

Collect Data

Topic

Number Two

Go through review questions.

Questions to focus on:

a) What “story” is a graph telling? (matching a graph with a vocab term)

b) How do we use speed and time to calculater more than acceleration? ( How can we have positive velocity but negative acceleration?)

Topic

Number Three

Using the area of a triangle ( 1/2bxh) to calculate displacement.

Area of a triangle is ½ base time height

Substitute values of base as time and height as velocity.

Displacement = ½ times sec/1 times meters/sec

Units that cancel out are time!

So final unit is distance or distance from original point.

Example

Total time = 5 seconds

Final Speed = 20 meters / second

D= ½ x 5 sec x 20 m/s

= ½ x 100 m

= 50 meters!

Two graphs of acceleration of cart due to height and mass

Evaluations

Today’s Objective

· Exam on Chapter 2

· Organelles and their Function

Topic

Number One

Organelles and Energy (Glucose)

· To simplify, there are two types of molecules directly related to energy.

· Sugar needs to be broken down to make ATP

· Fats need to be broken down or built to make triglycerides.

· The organelles that transform Glucose to ATP is the mitochondria.

· Fats can be broken or made by interactions with the smooth endoplasmic reticulum and golgi apparatus.

· Consider energy as fuel for the cell, so you need to visualize how fuel is both stored and burned.

Topic

Number Two

Organelles and Multiple functions

· Consider that you need some structures in the cell to regulate the energy, provide internal structure and to identify the cell.

· In order to make protein you need both a series of events to make the protein larger and you need a means to code each individual protein

· Structures involved start with DNA and RNA for code

· Organelles involved are Nucleus, RER, Vescicles, golgi apparatus.

Topic

Number Three

The cell membranes role in regards to organelle functions.

Topic

Number One

Introduction Exam

Topic

Number Two

· DNA and it’s role in Biology

· DNA is the molecule responsible for maintaining a code that is transferred from one generation to the next.

· DNA is a helix structure with a phosphate and sugar backbone.

· The actual code is established by nitrogen bases and the order in which they are found.

· Consider that DNA is the master cook book that has all the recipes to make any protein in any living thing.

· Currently there is a debate on one principle in biology that one gene (a series of nitrogen bases) is equal to the information to form one protein. This idea is currently being debated

Topic

Number Three

1. Evolution is both a theory and a path of inquiry in Biology.

2. To prove a theory, science follows the scientific method to establish evidence to validate an idea. To validate the theory of evolution there are two possible paths to follow.

3. Direct evidence is that we can actually look at. Fossils are preserved evidence within the earth’s solid plates.

4. There are three types of fossils.

5. Indirect Evidence is using an observation to explain a possible relationship between the evidence and a change with time

A basic idea about evolution is the idea of adaptation.

· Adaptations are those characteristics that allow on generation to change or survive.

· Please note that in the text, an adaption is not just a physical trait but also social and behaviourial traits.

· A basic premises to remember is

“Adapt or Die”

“Performance, feedback and revision”
