Document Summary

5 big ideas discussed in bio 201: nature and practice of science, evolution, information flow, systems, structure & function. Lecture 1: learning objectives: understand the difference between pattern and process, understand several different types of models that are used in scientific research, understand the difference between observation and inference. Which of the following statements is an inference about professor true: he has gray hair, he is wearing glasses, he doesn"t have perfect vision, he is wearing clothes, he is on the stage. Everything that biologists study can be divided into 2 categories: patterns and processes. Occur with regularity (although some patterns may seem random: example: leaf out of deciduous (able to lose leaves) trees in temperate (seasonal) areas every spring. The answers to these questions are processes: causes or mechanisms, we cannot see the process or mechanism, we propose explanations and then use observations, inferences, theories, and models to test our proposed explanations.

I'm looking for a way to learn taxonomy of animals for my bio class. Our lecture is a non-animated powerpoint and just reading isn't enough to help me actually learn the material. My textbook is really good and I take notes to combine with the lectures my professor created but I need something more interactive. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

LABROTORY FORMAT/SCIENCE EXPERIMENT GUIDELINES:

This is an example from my professor. The actual experiment can be anything related to science, of course. I'm having trouble coming up with an experiment. It doesn't have to be a "textbook" type of experiment, as you will see the example given from my professor. My professor is silly and laid back regarding assignments, but he wants us to understand the process/guidelines for writing up a science experiment. These are the notes that were given in class; I'm hoping someone can help, according to my outline, please and thank you! This is for A&P BIO I.

Title: "Measuring Enzymic Activity at Different Temperatures" (Should catch the attention of the reader, will be the deciding factor in who will read it) Professors Example: âIts fun to Hang out with a Monkeyâ -Dr. Sweenys Story (Title should be Fancy, and appealing)

Hypothesis: What do you believe? "I Believe Dr. Sweenys Uncle is a Monkey."

Introduction: Prove Hypothesis Right. Why, explain with proof.

Materials: What did you use? Tree, banana, timer, Dr. Sweeny, monkey.

Methods: Describe what you did with the materials.

Result: Proof - Dr. Sweent climbed tree at "x" pace, and so did the monkey.

Discussion/Conclusion: âDr. Sweeny showed that he had memory of being able to climb trees at nearly the same pace as the monkey, so his uncle was a monkey, similar characteristics. If Dr. Sweeny could not do this, then there is no proof his uncle is a monkey.

Acknowledgement: Thank "so & so" for helping; doctor, peers in class, etc.

Resources: Internet reference, Refer to notebook, Textbook page # and title, or lecture notes.

Beginning with the two opposing viewpoints on the topic of the moral permissibility of abortion explained in the text, complete and submit a short (750- to 1000-word) reflective research project in which you clearly state and defend a thesis on the topic. Your essay should make good use of the two articles from the text as well as two (2) of the assigned articles in the Abortion Review source linked in this module. The position you defend should be informed by a particular moral principle (moral principles were introduced in Module 1) and should make meaningful reference to the chapters from the textbook and the supplemental articles. You may also use additional academic resources. Be sure to cite all outside sources (including textbook readings, supplemental articles, and any additional research) used in developing your argument, using APA format. Your essay will be evaluated on your selection, interpretation, and application of the relevant moral principle (as well as the texts and articles that we have studied in this module) to support your argument. Evaluation of your word choice, spelling, and punctuation, as well as the organization of your essay, are included in the grade determination. Before you begin, please refer to the Reflection Essay rubric for comprehensive grading criteria. Finally, remember that while the empirical data and research are certainly relevant and important in this area, the thesis that you defend and the argument you submit are not empirical; you are developing and defending a normative argument about what is the morally correct position in this case.
