The Biotic Factor

Cladograms are diagrams which depict the relationships between different groups of taxa called “clades”. By depicting these relationships, cladograms reconstruct the evolutionary history (phylogeny) of the taxa. Cladograms can also be called “phylogenies” or “trees”. Cladograms are constructed by grouping organisms together based on their shared derived characteristics.

Each trait that we possess has two alleles that code for it. One allele is from the female parent and one allele is from the male parent. The allele may be dominant, written with a capital letter, and always expressed if present. The allele may be recessive, written with a lowercase letter, and expressed only if both alleles are recessive.

Arthropods are a group of animals in the Kingdom Animalia. All arthropods have a hard exoskeleton made of chitin, a body divided into segments, and jointed appendages

Most common elements in living things are carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. These four elements constitute about 95% of your body weight. All compounds can be classified in two broad categories --- organic and inorganic compounds.

Wanted Poster for a Virus Directions: You will be making a wanted poster for the disease you choose. You should do your assignment on the 8x11 sheet of cardstock provided by your teacher. The poster should include the following:

Genetics is the study of how traits such as hair color, eye color, and risk for disease are passed “inherited” from parents to their children. Genetics influence how these inherited traits can be different from person to person. Your genetic information is called your genetic code or “genome.” Your genome is made up of a chemical called deoxyribonucleic acid or “DNA” and is stored in almost every cell in your body. This unit has activities and assessments that covers Genetics and Heredity.

This is a fun lab safety activity for the beginning of school.

This is a hands on Osmosis and Diffusion activity.

This is a worksheet reviewing translation, transcription, and replication.

Use two-color counters to model each expression. Write a verbal description and equation for each expression. If you need help with the Verbal description, see the help box on the 2nd page.

Cell Organelle Vocabulary; includes space to draw a picture.

Integers

There are two basic types of observations-- qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative observations describe, while quantitative observations measure. Scientists usually try to use quantitative observations because they are more precise. Thoughtful observation communicates. It is clear and detailed, and it takes practice. The purpose of the following activities is to give practice in making clear, thoughtful observations.

You will be conducting 4 mini investigations. Be sure to maintain consistency (the constants-same dropper, the surface dropped on, etc.) throughout each investigation. Materials: 2 meters sticks Tennis ball

This lesson consist of Genetics/Heredity notes, Test, Sort, and a lesson where students will make their own child "Little Me."

Evolution Vocabulary and Quiz: Adaptation: inherited characteristic that increases an organism’s chance of survival Competition: the presence of one species threatens the fitness of another species Diversity: variety of life forms within an ecosystem Darwin: collected evidence that supported the idea of life changing over time Evolution: the process by which modern organisms have descended from ancient organisms Geologic Time Scale: scale used by scientists to represent evolutionary time Lamarc

This is a lesson over Unit Rate which consists of several real life scenario's that students have to figure. The student will demonstrate an understanding of numbers, operations, and quantitative reasoning. Number, operation, and quantitative reasoning. The student adds, subtracts, multiplies, or divides to solve problems and justify solutions.
