Animals O' Plenty in Biology

Hello out there in Science Land.

The biology class is beginning a new chapter in class. We are going to be studying animals, and how they function in our world. We will be using chapter 23 to begin our study.

Assignments: Complete Chapter 23 on-line questions. Do all the questions except for the assessment.
#2 We have begun a reasearch paper in class. The students will be writing a paper on a wild animal which is native to Missouri. The due date is April 9th. We will be using the MLA format for writing this paper. Monday the 22nd the Title, and proof of research will be due. March the 26th the thesis and the tentative outline will be due. The rough Draft will be due on 1-5th and the final paper will be due on the 9th of April.

The animals of choice are native species of animals in the state of Missouri.

Red Bat: Nathan P.
E. Gray Squirrel: Sterling W.
Cardinal: Cynthia W.
Racoon: Aaliyah C.
Red Fox: John S.
Little Brown Bat: Bethany H.
Timber Rattler: Edwin S.
White Tail Dear: Jessica C.
Bald Eagle: Doug N.
Grey Fox: Jesse Y.
Bobcat: Cody K.
Coyote: Anthony C.
Eastern Hellbender: Alex U.
Southern Flying Squirrel: Troy H.
Scorpion: Dalton W.
Northern Studfish: Joseph B.
Bluejay: Desiray K.

The following is an example of how they should proceed with the paper.

STEP 1. CHOOSE A TOPIC
Choose a topic which interests and challenges you. Your attitude towards the topic may well determine the amount of effort and enthusiasm you put into your research.
Focus on a limited aspect, e.g. narrow it down from "Religion" to "World Religion" to "Buddhism". Obtain teacher approval for your topic before embarking on a full-scale research. If you are uncertain as to what is expected of you in completing the assignment or project, re-read your assignment sheet carefully or ASK your teacher.
Select a subject you can manage. Avoid subjects that are too technical, learned, or specialized. Avoid topics that have only a very narrow range of source materials.

STEP 2. FIND INFORMATION
Surf the Net.
For general or background information, check out useful URLs, general information online, almanacs or encyclopedias online such as Britannica, or Encarta, etc. Use Search Engines and other search tools as a starting point.
Pay attention to domain name extensions, e.g., .edu (educational institution), .gov (government), or .org (non-profit organization). These sites represent institutions and tend to be more reliable, but be watchful of possible political bias in some government sites. Be selective of .com (commercial) sites. Many .com sites are excellent; however, a large number of them contain advertisements for products and nothing else. Network Solutions provides a link where you can find out what some of the other Extensions stand for. Be wary of the millions of personal home pages on the Net. The quality of these personal homepages vary greatly. Learning how to evaluate Web sites critically and to search effectively on the Internet can help you eliminate irrelevant sites and waste less of your time.
The recent arrival of a variety of domain name extensions such as .biz (commercial businesses), .pro, .info (info on products / organizations), .name, .ws (WebSite), .cc (Cocos Island) or .sh (St. Helena) or .tv (Tuvalu) may create some confusion as you would not be able to tell whether a .cc or .sh or .tv site is in reality a .com, a .edu, a .gov, a .net, or a .org site. Many of the new extensions have no registration restrictions and are available to anyone who wishes to register a distinct domain name that has not already been taken. For instance, if Books.com is unavailable, you can register as Books.ws or Books.info via a service agent such as Register.com.
To find books in the Library use the OPAC (Online Public Access Catalog).
Check out other print materials available in the Library: • Almanacs, Atlases, AV Catalogs • Encyclopedias and Dictionaries • Government Publications, Guides, Reports • Magazines, Newspapers • Vertical Files • Yellow Pages, Zip or Postal Code and Telephone Directories
Check out online resources, Web based information services, or special resource materials on CDs:
• Online reference materials (including databases, e.g. SIRS, ProQuest, eLibrary, etc.) • Wall Street Executive Library • Index to Periodicals and Newspapers (e.g. MagPortal.com, OnlineNewspapers.com, etc.) • Answers.com - an online dictionary and encyclopedia all-in-one resource that you can install on your computer free of charge and find One-Click Answers quickly. • Encyclopedias (e.g. Encarta, Britannica, Canadian Encyclopedia, etc.) • Magazines and Journals (e.g. Time, Discover, National Geographic, Maclean's, Newsweek, etc.) • Newspapers (e.g. Los Angeles Times, New York Times, USA Today, The Toronto Star, Vancouver Sun, etc.) • Social Issues • Subject Specific software (e.g. Discovering Authors, Exploring Shakespeare, etc.)
Check out Public and University Libraries, businesses, government agencies, as well as contact knowledgeable people in your community.
Read and evaluate. Bookmark your favorite Internet sites. Printout, photocopy, and take notes of relevant information.
As you gather your resources, jot down full bibliographical information (author, title, place of publication, publisher, date of publication, page numbers, URLs, creation or modification dates on Web pages, and your date of access) on your work sheet, printout, or enter the information on your laptop or desktop computer for later retrieval. If printing from the Internet, it is wise to set up the browser to print the URL and date of access for every page. Remember that an article without bibliographical information is useless since you cannot cite its source.

STEP 3. STATE YOUR THESIS
Do some critical thinking and write your thesis statement down in one sentence. Your thesis statement is like a declaration of your belief. The main portion of your essay will consist of arguments to support and defend this belief.

STEP 4. MAKE A TENTATIVE OUTLINE
All points must relate to the same major topic that you first mentioned in your capital Roman numeral.
Example of an outline:
I. INTRODUCTION - (Brief comment leading into subject matter -Thesis statement on Shakespeare)
II. BODY - Shakespeare's Early Life, Marriage, Works, Later Years
A. Early life in Stratford
1. Shakespeare's family
a. Shakespeare's father
b. Shakespeare's mother
2. Shakespeare's marriage
a. Life of Anne Hathaway
b. Reference in Shakespeare's Poems
B. Shakespeare's works
1. Plays
a. Tragedies
i. Hamlet
ii. Romeo and Juliet
b. Comedies
i. The Tempest
ii. Much Ado About Nothing
c. Histories
i. King John
ii. Richard III
iii. Henry VIII
2. Sonnets
3. Other poems
C. Shakespeare's Later Years
1. Last two plays
2. Retired to Stratford
a. Death
b. Burial
i. Epitaph on his tombstone
III. CONCLUSION
A. Analytical summary
1. Shakespeare's early life
2. Shakespeare's works
3. Shakespeare's later years
B. Thesis reworded
C. Concluding statement

The purpose of an outline is to help you think through your topic carefully and organize it logically before you start writing. A good outline is the most important step in writing a good paper. Check your outline to make sure that the points covered flow logically from one to the other. Include in your outline an INTRODUCTION, a BODY, and a CONCLUSION. Make the first outline tentative.
INTRODUCTION - State your thesis and the purpose of your research paper clearly. What is the chief reason you are writing the paper? State also how you plan to approach your topic. Is this a factual report, a book review, a comparison, or an analysis of a problem? Explain briefly the major points you plan to cover in your paper and why readers should be interested in your topic.
BODY - This is where you present your arguments to support your thesis statement. Remember the Rule of 3, i.e. find 3 supporting arguments for each position you take. Begin with a strong argument, then use a stronger one, and end with the strongest argument for your final point.
CONCLUSION - Restate or reword your thesis. Summarize your arguments. Explain why you have come to this particular conclusion.

STEP 5. ORGANIZE YOUR NOTES
Organize all the information you have gathered according to your outline. Critically analyze your research data. Using the best available sources, check for accuracy and verify that the information is factual, up-to-date, and correct. Opposing views should also be noted if they help to support your thesis. This is the most important stage in writing a research paper. Here you will analyze, synthesize, sort, and digest the information you have gathered and hopefully learn something about your topic which is the real purpose of doing a research paper in the first place. You must also be able to effectively communicate your thoughts, ideas, insights, and research findings to others through written words as in a report, an essay, a research or term paper, or through spoken words as in an oral or multimedia presentation with audio-visual aids.
Do not include any information that is not relevant to your topic, and do not include information that you do not understand. Make sure the information that you have noted is carefully recorded and in your own words, if possible. Plagiarism is definitely out of the question. Document all ideas borrowed or quotes used very accurately. As you organize your notes, jot down detailed bibliographical information for each cited paragraph and have it ready to transfer to your Works Cited page.
Devise your own method to organize your notes. One method may be to mark with a different color ink or use a hi-liter to identify sections in your outline, e.g., IA3b - meaning that the item "Accessing WWW" belongs in the following location of your outline:
I. Understanding the Internet
A. What is the Internet
3. How to "Surf the Net"
b. Accessing WWW
Group your notes following the outline codes you have assigned to your notes, e.g., IA2, IA3, IA4, etc. This method will enable you to quickly put all your resources in the right place as you organize your notes according to your outline.

STEP 6. WRITE YOUR FIRST DRAFT
Start with the first topic in your outline. Read all the relevant notes you have gathered that have been marked, e.g. with the capital Roman numeral I.
Summarize, paraphrase or quote directly for each idea you plan to use in your essay. Use a technique that suits you, e.g. write summaries, paraphrases or quotations on note cards, or separate sheets of lined paper. Mark each card or sheet of paper clearly with your outline code or reference, e.g., IB2a or IIC, etc.
Put all your note cards or paper in the order of your outline, e.g. IA, IB, IC. If using a word processor, create meaningful filenames that match your outline codes for easy cut and paste as you type up your final paper, e.g. cut first Introduction paragraph and paste it to IA. Before you know it, you have a well organized term paper completed exactly as outlined.
If it is helpful to you, use a symbol such as "#" to mark the spot where you would like to check back later to edit a paragraph. The unusual symbol will make it easy for you to find the exact location again. Delete the symbol once editing is completed.

STEP 7. REVISE YOUR OUTLINE AND DRAFT
Read your paper for any content errors. Double check the facts and figures. Arrange and rearrange ideas to follow your outline. Reorganize your outline if necessary, but always keep the purpose of your paper and your readers in mind.

CHECKLIST ONE:
1. Is my thesis statement concise and clear?
2. Did I follow my outline? Did I miss anything?
3. Are my arguments presented in a logical sequence?
4. Are all sources properly cited to ensure that I am not plagiarizing?
5. Have I proved my thesis with strong supporting arguments?
6. Have I made my intentions and points clear in the essay?
Re-read your paper for grammatical errors. Use a dictionary or a thesaurus as needed. Do a spell check. Correct all errors that you can spot and improve the overall quality of the paper to the best of your ability. Get someone else to read it over. Sometimes a second pair of eyes can see mistakes that you missed.

CHECKLIST TWO:
1. Did I begin each paragraph with a proper topic sentence?
2. Have I supported my arguments with documented proof or examples?
3. Any run-on or unfinished sentences?
4. Any unnecessary or repetitious words?5
. Varying lengths of sentences?
6. Does one paragraph or idea flow smoothly into the next?
7. Any spelling or grammatical errors?
8. Quotes accurate in source, spelling, and punctuation?
9. Are all my citations accurate and in correct format?
10. Did I avoid using contractions? Use "cannot" instead of "can't", "do not" instead of "don't"?11. Did I use third person as much as possible? Avoid using phrases such as "I think", "I guess", "I suppose"
12. Have I made my point’s clear and interesting but remained objective?
13. Did I leave a sense of completion for my reader(s) at the end of the paper?



In addition to the study of the chapters, we will be dissecting animals in class. This will give the students a better idea of how these organisms function and live. We will be looking at sycon sponges, mussels, earthworms, crayfish, grasshoppers, Hydra, starfish, perch, & frogs.

Physics of Superhero's:

Integrated Science II and Physical Science is beginning to wind down on the Physics section. Physics of Superheroes has been well recieved by the students. I believe that most of the students are grasping physics and the laws which we all must abide by, wether we are super or not.

The test for the these classes is soon approaching. They will be the 30th and 31st of March.

I will pass out a study guide for the students to review the class period before.

Physics: We are winding down on the Roller Coaster Physics. We will finish the 25th, and test over the material covered on March 31st.

Chemistry is Chugging through Stoichiometry in Chapter 12 of their books. We are doing most questions in class so we all understand the math. When we finish Chapter 12 we will have a test covering the material with an additional lab test to go with it. Date isn't set as of yet.

The Science Fair went very well. We had dozens of entries. All most every student completed their experiments.

The winners are as follows:

Congratulations:

Physics of Superheroes

Hello out there in Science World.

Currently we have entered a section physics in Integrated Science II and Physical Science. I am using the book The Physics of Superheroes by James Kakalios as my guide to make learning physics exciting and meaningful to the students. Currently we have learned about Superman and how his body would have to be adapted to life on Krypton in order to have super powers here on Earth. We have talked about all laws of physics affects Superman in the same way as everyone else living on Earth. So how much science fact is in Superman and where does it jump to the world of fantasy?

I am having the kids look at their favorite superheroes and discover the powers they have and what law of physics they must abide by.

I am asking each student to look at these different heroes and choose one and research how they are affected by certain laws of physics.

Below is a list of all the superheroes I could find.
