Pd. 3 Living Environment Assignments

Use the following materials and resources to enhance your design presentation for the final project. 

Project outline w/ checklist
VIDEO: Scientist responsible for first CRISPR baby defends his actions
READING: "What CRISPR-Baby Prison Sentences mean for Research
READING: NASEM's Guidelines on Human Genome Editing
READING: a long list of human genes, names, what they do, and disease related to them 
Your presentation should be a creative and engaging proposal that persuades the Board of Directors at your company to favor your particular set of genetic modifications.

Use the link attached to record the vocal delivery of your Science Genius 1st or Final Draft. 
Answer YES or NO below to let us know where you are at. 


We're focusing on how it should sound, now that we have drafted our ideas a few times.

(1) Identify your favorite food, with an image. (2 pts.)
(2) Break your favorite down into the biomolecule content. (3 pts.)
(3) What are the monomer/s of your favorite food. (3 pts.)
(4) What benefits do you get from your favorite food? (2 pts.)

1. Answer with at least 3 to 5 examples
2. Place your examples into at least two categories.

On the document provided outline an imaginary animal and its Life processes in great detail. Make sure to support and rationalize your creative decisions carefully.

Some examples for inspiration are attached.

Please Respond with an explanation for each Multiple choice question featured in today's quiz.

For this task you will be mapping out the cellular organization of an organism of your choosing, from an atom to a full grown giraffe, or whatever you like. You started this in nearpod but you will complete it here.

Instructions:
(1) Think of one organism.
(2) Using that organism, create your OWN organizational levels, COMPLETE with examples.

FYI:
- Attached to the assignment is an example/model of what should be included both visually and textually for a complete submission.
- See also the success criteria/rubric to understand how we will be grading.
________________________
From Nearpod,
*Today's Task*
You are to create your OWN organizational levels, from atoms to organisms. When doing so:
(1) Maintain the same levels like we did in class.
atom-molecule-organelle-cell-tissue-organ-organ system-organism
(2) Give your own example for each level.

(Extending learning)
(3) As much as possible, stick to one organism and 'dissect' its levels.

As presenters showcase their investigations, please pay attention and note things that impressed you about their presentation, and things they can improve on.

The form includes our first two scheduled presentations and links to slides and recordings.

Please be sure to input EVERY STEP you are taking towards completing your investigation in these google slides. You are expected to make DAILY SUBMISSIONS. Pay attention to the STEPS that you need to submit everyday.
Slide 1: Problem/Question
Slide 2: Background Research Summary (with citations). Please AVOID PLAGIARISM!
Slide 3: Hypothesis (STATEMENT that answers your question, based on your background
research)
Slide 4: Experimental Setup & Variables(can be actual photos/sketches attached/flipgrid
video showing the set up; independent variable, dependent variable, constant
variables)
Slide 5: Materials (can be a photo of all your materials attached to this slide)
Slide 6: Procedure (STEPS taken, numbered (NOT in paragraph form)
Slide 7: Data collected (chart/tables & graphs - can be written/drawn on paper,
photographed, and then attached to this particular slide)
*** Feel free to add another slide for your data if you need to.***
Slide 8: Data Analysis (What TREND/S or PATTERN/S did you observe from looking at your
data?)
Slide 9: Conclusion (STATEMENT that answers your question, based on the experiment you
conducted)

Describe what you plan to investigate and how you are going to that.

For example:
I intend to investigate whether the shape of the nose cone of a straw rocket affects the distance it travels. In order to do this, I will take 3 straws of the same dimensions, and make them the body of my straw rockets. The first straw rocket will have a round nose cone; the second will have a triangle nose cone, and the third will have a square nose cone.

SUCCESS CRITERIA CHECKLIST:
- investigation described (1 pt.)
- general materials included (1 pt.)
- general procedure included (1 pt.)
- academic vocabulary used (1 pt.)
(Examples of academic vocabulary used in my sample response above: investigate, dimensions)

As discussed in class, For this assignment you will chose at least two (or more) items or scenarios you find around your home, such as:

- cooking
- grilling
- cleaning with bleach
- using scissors or sewing
- microwaves, etc.

Then you will create a poster that describes the dangers and cautions an individual should take when using or approaching these items or scenarios, Just like how you would caution classmates if we were doing labs in person. Imagine it is a younger sibling or relative you are presenting to.

Note:
* You may do your poster by hand and take a photo to submit to this assignment.
** I have attached an example and template for your reference, but be creative in your submission.
***I have attached a rubric we wil reference when grading posters and presentations.

PART 1
1. Think about all the things you did this summer.
2. Pick your favorite activity.
3. Through a PARAGRAPH (to either describe or explain what you did) and PICTURES, create your summer activity COLLAGE or GOOGLE SLIDES. (create your own copy if you use a google doc)
4. Give it any title you like.

***Use a picture of yourself doing the activity/ies if you have one or make a drawing or graphic, etc. of the activity. You can also download a picture from the internet or other source showing the activity. SYMBOLS (objects that symbolize the activity) are my favorites. You may choose to do this instead.


PART II
Write a paragraph to explain the science behind your favorite summer activity. What scientific laws/principles/concepts are involved in any three of your summer activities? (Examples: Laws of Motion, Body Systems, Diseases, Gravity, etc. etc.)
***Challenge yourself! Go for 3 scientific connections if you can. ***

SUCCESS CRITERIA CHECKLIST:
- google docs or google slides created that contains the following:
-1 favorite summer activity showcased
-descriptions present
-visuals present (or symbols)
- 1-3 scientific connections (scientific principles/laws/concepts behind) explained

1. Watch at least 3 flipgrid presentations (NOT your own) and then
2. REFLECT on the following:
- similarities between you and your classmates
- your unique identity
- other realizations (if any)
3. Write your reflections on the google docs created in google classroom entitled "PHOTO/VOICE IDENTITY PROJECT REFLECTIONS"
4. TURN IN to complete the process.

Go over each jamboard slide and respond to the prompts.

Create your Photo/voice slides with images here and submit for credit.
