DNA and Classification

http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/article/phylogenetics_02

Key Concept:

Organisms are now classified that show lines of evolutionary descent.

Molecular similarities in DNA provide clues to similar species. (See case study). If a species has the same DNA how closely do you think the two species are?

A gene, is a segment of DNA. DNA is a code to produce proteins. Similarity in proteins can be used to classify organisms at a molecular level.

Last lessons Objective

Introduction to Animals

2.   Activities of life and diagrams

3.   Filter Feeding and making an efficient study guide.

Number One

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.

Number Two

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.

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

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.
