6 Essential Nutrients
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:
What
is the difference between the independent (manipulated ) variable, the
dependent (responding) variable and controlled variables?
A variable is
something that can change. In Mathematics, a variable is an unknown number,
which we usually represent by 'x'.
In Science, the word
'variable' has a slightly different use when doing an experiment, and there
are three kinds.
Variables are the factors in an experiment which change the outcome.
Independent
Variable
This is the variable you
are testing, or manipulating.
For example, if you were
trying to determine which type of laundry soap removes the most dirt, you
would test a variety of different kinds of soap. The type of soap would be the independent
variable, and you would change it each time you did the experiment. The
independent variable always goes on the x axis when graphing.
Dependent
Variable
This is the variable you
are measuring.
For example, when you
test each type of laundry soap, you will measure how much dirt is left. The
amount of dirt remaining each time you do the experiment would be the dependent
variable.
The dependent variable
always goes on the y axis when graphing.
Controlled
Variables
These are variables that could
affect the outcome of the experiment, which you make the same each time. This
is not the same as a control.
For example, each time
you test a laundry soap, you would use the same water temperature. It
wouldn't be a fair test if one were used in very hot water, and another in
cold water.
Similarly, you would make
sure that each sample of dirty clothing had the same amount of dirt, so
that if one soap does a better job, you'll know it wasn't because there was
less dirt.
You'll control these
variables, by making them the same for every test, so you know
they're not affecting the result.
Other variables you might
want to control in this example would be the amount of water used, the time
spent washing, and the amount of soap used.
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.
