  1. Materials: worksheet **Turn in Biome Lab to the front tray Catalyst (5 min): Science is great, but not for everything. Read the four questions below and decide if they are testable, scientific questions. Write TESTABLE or NOT TESTABLE 1. Do plants grow more leaves with distilled water or with water from the sink? 2. What is the best independent reading book for me? 3. What is the meaning of life? 4. Do people lose more weight on a diet of salads or of chips and candy?

  2. Elite Eight Trait Check-Up • Respect the Threshold • Everyone on time? • Silent for First Five? • Be Prepared (2 min) • Seated • Have materials • Working on catalyst

  3. Class Motto If there is a problem,We look for a solution. If there is a better way,We find it. If we need help,We ask. If a teammate needs help,We give.

  4. Announcements • I will accept late GIZMO labs and LebronProjects • Star Quiz 4: Levels of Organization and Symbiosis • Periods 1, 2, 4, 6: Thursday • Periods 5, 7: Friday • Tutorial Today at 3:15! • SWIM SEASON BEGINS OCT 21!  Sign up outside my door if interested! Get 3 forms from me • TSA meeting TODAY at 3:15 in Room 115 • Science Club Meeting Thursday after school!

  5. Science and Engineering Expo • Each student will conduct an experiment for Forest Park’s Science and Engineering Expo. • You may also invent a new product to solve an issue you see in your daily life.

  6. Believe it or not… • People are inventing and patenting their new ideas each and every day. • It all started with a problem

  7. Would you buy?

  8. Balding Parent? Would they buy?

  9. Would you be curious about…? • What is the most effective way to curb snack cravings? • http://www.sciencenewsforkids.org/2013/09/restoring-a-chemical-in-the-gut-sends-a-message-to-mouse-brains-to-stop-overeating/

  10. Skepticism about what’s for sale • Do diet pills really work?

  11. Potential Science Expo Project • Does changing the temperature of the human tongue affect the tastebuds’ ability to taste sweet, sour, bitter, or salty foods?

  12. Would you be curious about…? • Is it possible to implant false memories? http://www.foxnews.com/science/2013/07/25/inception-scientists-produce-false-memories-in-mice/ http://www.livescience.com/22940-scientists-engineer-dreams-in-rats.html

  13. Skepticism about what’s for sale • How effective is ‘brain training’ software such as Lumosity?

  14. Potential Science Expo Project • Does multitasking decrease the brain’s ability to learn new things?

  15. Would you buy? Banana Slicer?Hotdog Slicer? Spam Slicer?

  16. Products that fill a (marketable) need

  17. Objective • I can articulate the requirements for the Science and Engineering Expo • Exposure to the different fields of science • Timeline • I can identify a testable research question. • I can create several testable research questions for the Science/Engineering Expo

  18. Different Fields of Science • Life Science • Biotechnology Techniques • Genetics & Genomics • Human Biology & Health • Mammalian Biology • Medical Biotechnology • Microbiology • Plant Biology • Zoology

  19. Different Fields of Science • Physical Science • Aerodynamics & Hydrodynamics • Astronomy • Chemistry • Cooking & Food Science • Music • Photography, Digital Photography, & Video • Physics • Sports Science

  20. Different Fields of Science • Earth & Environmental Science • Environmental Science • Geology • Ocean Sciences • Weather & Atmosphere

  21. Different Fields of Science • Engineering • Civil Engineering • Electricity & Electronics • Energy & Power • Environmental Engineering • Materials Science • Mechanical Engineering • Robotics

  22. Different Fields of Science Behavioral & Social Science • Human Behavior • Sociology • Animal Behavior • Consumer Behavior • Neuroscience

  23. I can identify a testable research question

  24. Ask yourself these 5 questions…

  25. You be the Teacher! • Grade the following Science Expo research questions and hypotheses

  26. I can create several testable research questions for the Science/Engineering Expo

  27. Ms. Nay’s Science Expo Project • Setting: As a child, I had 2 pet bunnies. Their cages consisted of a litter box that had to be cleaned every other day. • Problem: I hated to clean out their cages using the plastic litter box. • Question: Would a disposable bunny litter box be more effective than the plastic type?

  28. Background Research • Background research: • Has something like this been invented before? • How many households have bunnies as pets? • Is it cost effective?

  29. Ms. Nay’sExperimental Design • Independent Variable: • Use of disposable or plastic litter box. • Dependent Variable: • Ease of cleaning out cage. • Preference of buyer.

  30. Things I had to consider/Keep constant • Type of animal being used
