  1. Biology Discussion Notes Monday 8/18 – Wednesday 8/20

  2. WELCOME! Biology with Ms. Jacobs

  3. Goals for the Day • Get to know each other • Make & understand classroom expectations/rules • Get excited about Biology! 

  4. Classroom Rule(s) • Have Respect. • For yourself • For your classmates • For the classroom • For the teacher • Follow all RHS handbook rules

  5. Question of the Day Each day in class I will put up a question of the day. Students will be responsible for writing the question & their best answer. After each student has answered the question on their own we will discuss it as a class QODs will be collected before for points!!!

  6. Question of the Day What does respect look like to you in the classroom?

  7. Topics for Biology

  8. Lets start learning names!

  9. Information Cards & Goals • Full name • Interests • Activities you are in or are planning to tryout for (Spring & Fall) • 2 Goals for yourself this year • What do you want to do, accomplish, or learn? • For each goal say what you will do to accomplish this goal. • What else should I know about you?

  10. Science Autobiography • What has been your general experience of science inside or outside of school? • Did you enjoy it? What did you enjoy? • Did you not enjoy it? Why didn’t you enjoy it? • What about science/biology interests you? • What specifically do you already know/have you talked about the scientific method? • What is your experience using microscopes and how comfortable are you with the parts & rules of proper use?

  11. Goals for the Day • Learn Each others Names • Be able to describe 5 of the 10 themes of Biology. • Get excited about Biology! 

  12. Question of the Day What do you have in common with the plants in our room? (List as many things as you can think of)

  13. Ten Themes of Biology • Biological Systems (How we organize things in biology)

  14. Organize the following from smallest to LARGEST • Organism • Cell • Population • Biome • Community • Organ Systems • Ecosystem • Organ • Tissue • Biosphere

  15. Tissue Organ Organ System Cell s Organism • Ten Themes of Biology • Biological Systems Cells working together Tissues working together Organs working together A living thing

  16. Biological Systems – cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism, population, community, ecosystem, biosphere Biosphere Biome Ecosystem Community Population Organism

  17. 2. The Cellular Basis of Life – the cell is the smallest unit of life. All living things are made of cells.

  18. 3. Form and Function – the shape of things help that organism to do what it does (Example: the anteater’s long snout enables it to squeeze in tight places to get food)

  19. 4. Reproduction and Inheritance – you inherit similarities from your parents (Example: if nothing else your parents are human and so are you!)

  20. 5. Interaction with the Environment – every organism gives off stuff to the environment and every organism takes stuff from the environment (Example: you give off heat and take in food)

  21. Species of the DayTibicenpruinosus

  22. Species of the DayCicada: Tibicenpruinosus • What do you know about cicadas based on these 5 themes of biology.

  23. Goals for the Day • Learn Each others Names • Be able to describe ALL 10 themes of Biology. • Get excited about Biology! 

  24. Question of the Day • Without looking at your notes from yesterday, try to name the five themes of life we discussed yesterday.

  25. Question of the Day • Without looking at your notes from yesterday, try to name the five themes of life we discussed yesterday.

  26. Skills Checks 1-3 per unit Over small chunks of the material Need a 70% or better

  27. Names Practice Remember our 1st Skills Check on Names Seating Chart !!

  28. Chomebook Rhsbiologyjacobs.sfinstructionalresources.wikispaces.net

  29. Energy and Life – Every organism needs energy to live. What happens when an organism runs out of energy?

  30. Regulation and Homeostasis Homeostasis – the maintenance of a stable internal conditions in spite of changes in the external environment. Example: Even though our surrounding temperature is constantly changing our internal temperature (body temperature) stays the same.

  31. 8. Adaptation and Evolution – Adaptation is an inherited trait that helps the organism’s ability to survive and reproduce. Evolution is just a change over time.

  32. Biology and Society – • How does our society affect life and how does our understanding of biology affect our society? • Cloning, Stem cell research, environmental issues, hunting, medicine, genetically modified crops

  33. 10. Scientific Inquiry – Asking questions, using observations or experiments to find possible answers

  34. Species of the Day: Cicada Killer!

  35. Species of the Day: Cicada Killer:Spheciusspeciosus What do you know about this cicada killer based on the 10 Themes of Biology? -Go through each theme (you can number them if you like) and tell me one thing you know about this cicada killer based on each theme). For #10, Scientific inquiry ask a testable question about the cicada killer.

  36. Species of the Day: Cicada Killer:Spheciusspeciosus What do you know about this cicada killer based on the 10 Themes of Biology? Ex. Biology & Society: Our understanding of the cicada killer wasps could help us to control them at our house or not be too afraid of them at a park.
