Midterm Project by Daphne Goff https://padlet.com/daphnegoff/9mfns3j03ltcvc72 en-us 2022-10-09 18:07:28 UTC 2022-10-09 19:52:24 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f914.png daphnegoff https://padlet.com/daphnegoff/9mfns3j03ltcvc72/wish/2332654043 Before this I knew it as the study of life. Or basically the study of everything on earth. When the technical term is the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment. Its a vital part of growing as a society.Scientific education stood out here because we are skill building. Biology was the piggy back of science. The more in depth cousin. I think my goal is to research more in the science and maybe it will become my major. I hope to take what I learned here as a step toward that path.  ]]> 2022-10-09 18:14:02 UTC https://padlet.com/daphnegoff/9mfns3j03ltcvc72/wish/2332654043 daphnegoff https://padlet.com/daphnegoff/9mfns3j03ltcvc72/wish/2332671104 I remember in my days we just had scientific method. The only times we used it in a class setting was the very few times we got to go to the lab. As far as method and inquiry they both have some of the same steps leading up to the hypothesis. The scientific inquiry is a more hands on approach to learning. Its help the students retain their information being giving when you do hands on activities. Therefore you have more students excited about science in general. Independent and dependent variables are what stood out to me cause I actually had forgotten the terms altogether. Independent variables are what we expect will influence dependent variables. A Dependent variable is what happens as a result of the independent variable. It is a good way to keep your knowledge up to date. Hoping to spring this on my current class. ]]> 2022-10-09 18:33:22 UTC https://padlet.com/daphnegoff/9mfns3j03ltcvc72/wish/2332671104 daphnegoff https://padlet.com/daphnegoff/9mfns3j03ltcvc72/wish/2332675946
  • It responds to the environment.
  • It grows and develops.
  • It produces offspring.
  • It maintains homeostasis.
  • It has complex chemistry.
  • It consists of cells.
    • That are the six characteristics of life. Before this I of course knew that we were born, we grow, we reproduce, and then die.  We share it will all living things on this earth. From the smallest bug to the blue whale. We might not all grow and develop the same way but thats for another time. Life itself is a broad and interesting term all in its own. Some people make me made when they say"that tree ain't alive." I want so bad to go all technical on them. Just because it doesn't have a heartbeat don't tell me it isn't alive. Homeostasis is another term. Homeostasis, any self-regulating process by which biological systems tend to maintain stability while adjusting to conditions. I think this lesson should be taught really at any grade level.

It wasn't covered much at our school and not sure why. I watch discovery channel a lot so I knew somewhat about the topic and what it portrays. Well if you look at the ocean and just a change in a microscopic organism could shift the balance of the eco system. Then it will be like a domino effect until we start seeing the bigger marine life go. Look at whales they eat very tiny prawn. What do you think the prawn eat? Macroscopic is the things we see with the naked eye.Microscopic is the organisms we cannot see. You would need a microscope to view them. I would love to take my school on a trip to the aquarium to show them all the big and maybe even small things that live in our oceans.]]> 2022-10-09 18:55:03 UTC https://padlet.com/daphnegoff/9mfns3j03ltcvc72/wish/2332685056 daphnegoff https://padlet.com/daphnegoff/9mfns3j03ltcvc72/wish/2332688841 I have always been a science nerd so most of this I recalled from high school. I did need a refresher though because the scientific method I remember but the scientific inquiry I did not. My focus will always be our impact on climate and climate change. Researching all these subjects just relit the fire to help the ones doing something about it.]]> 2022-10-09 19:00:54 UTC https://padlet.com/daphnegoff/9mfns3j03ltcvc72/wish/2332688841 daphnegoff https://padlet.com/daphnegoff/9mfns3j03ltcvc72/wish/2332694462 Before I didn't like to get up in class to talk. Now I ask the teacher if I can throw a few lessons in to get them excited about school. I hope to bring new and exciting experiments to class so they can try. I think it will expand their minds a little and they will have a great time with it. ]]> 2022-10-09 19:09:53 UTC https://padlet.com/daphnegoff/9mfns3j03ltcvc72/wish/2332694462
