Handouts given today: Human biology systems skeletal, digestive, circulatory, excretory, & respiratory (2 papers) and Big Ideas in Science Unit B Notes given today: Description of the digestive path and processes that food takes: Mouth: teeth chew food which is an example of mechanical digestion and mixes with saliva for chemical breakdown.Then food goes down the esophagus to the stomach where the muscles of the stomach churn the contents for more mechanical breakdown while the contents are also mixed with HCL for chemical breakdown. The stomach contents then go to the small intestine where pancreatic juices and bile from the liver continue the final chemical breakdown of the food into nutrients. The nutrients are then absorbed into the bloodstream. Remaining contents go to the large intestine where large quantities of water are absorbed into the blood. There is also some production of Vitamin K by helpful bacteria. The large intestine ends in a short tube called the rectum where waste is compressed into solid form to be expelled from the body through the anus. SWBAT: Name the 6 essential nutrients
9/21 NEW NOTEBOOK PROCEDURES: Everyday when you come in to class you are to copy down the information on the whiteboard into your notebook. The SWBAT becomes your entry for the table of contents with the date.For this week the table of contents entries will be: TABLE OF CONTENTS Recognize independent and dependent variables Sept 21 What are trade -offs of taking medicines Sept 22 ENRICHMENT IN SCIENCE Sept 23 Difference between body structure and functions Sept 24 Recognize organ systems from diagrams Sept 25
I will go over the exact format to be used in class. Whenever you are absent you are required to copy the notes from a neighbor for the day(s) you were absent. Everyones notebook will be expected to be complete and neat and used as a study guide.
9/10 Please print the information on the different kinds of variables and put in your notebook.
Variables:
Variables are the factors in an experiment which change the outcome.
Independent
Variable
9/8 make sure the following definitions are in your notebook:
Observation: information obtained by using one of the 5 senses Inference: A conclusion reached from an observation Trade Off: Something given up when making a choice Informed Consent: form volunteers sign telling them about possible risks involved in clinical trials Placebo: fake medicine used as a control. Patients are not aware if they are given the placeboor the real medicine. Placebo effect: Percent of people who get better without taking medicine (people in control group) Control: Group not given the variable that is being tested. Used to compare with treatment group to rule out changes due to other factors than test variable. Sample Size: the number of individuals or organisms in your experiment Hypothesis: Explanation based on observed facts or an idea of how things work. Can be written as "If.......then.....statement. Example: If I feed children suffering from pellagra a nutritious diet then their disease will be cured. Quantitative data: Numerical data (numbers). Data that can be measured or counted Qualitative data: data that describes properties or characteristics with words
9/3 Put the definition of variable in your science notebook Variable: Any factor that can affect the results of an experiment
8/28 Friday Put these notes in your notebook: Clinical Trials: Tests done with volunteers on products such as medicines before they are made available to the public. Elements of Good Experimental Design:
If absent Friday 8/28 when we did the clinical trial, see Ms. Lifrieri for the missing data sheet.
Make a table of contents for your science notebook.
Page # TABLE OF CONTENTS Date 1 Activity 1:Saving Fred 8/24
Page 1 of notebook should have the procedure steps used to save Fred. If absent write why it is important to write careful procedure steps when solving problems.
