1) The document describes an activity where students must solve the problem of saving Fred, a worm who has fallen out of a boat and cannot swim, by developing a procedure to retrieve his life preserver.
2) Students are instructed to use words and drawings to describe their procedure for saving Fred and to answer analysis questions about problem solving.
3) The document also defines key terms like hypothesis and scientific method, and presents several models of the problem solving and scientific methods.Saving fred

Students are tasked with rescuing Fred the gummy worm using only paper clips. Fred is trapped under an overturned plastic cup boat with his life preserver also trapped. Students must follow three rules: Fred cannot fall in the "lake" (table), he cannot be injured, and only paper clips can be used. The assignment is to write a procedure explaining how to rescue Fred step-by-step using only paper clips. Students will also describe any problems encountered and rate the difficulty and enjoyment of the activity.Save Fred

1) The document describes an inquiry-based lesson where students work together to save a gummy worm named Fred from drowning after his plastic cup boat flips over, trapping his gummy life saver under the boat.
2) Students are instructed to place the life saver around Fred's body using only four paper clips, without letting Fred fall into the "lake" more than once or injuring him.
3) The document encourages students to solve problems in different ways such as developing a plan, finding patterns, drawing diagrams, acting it out, making lists, guessing and testing, working backward, writing equations, or constructing tables and graphs.2 24

A student was asked to list the five non-clothing objects they would bring if spending a week in Antarctica, given they only had the clothing shown in the picture. The student listed their top five choices as: 1) [blank], 2) [blank], 3) [blank], 4) [blank]. An exit slip question then asked what reading strategy students find most difficult.Research Presentation Format

This document summarizes a science lab activity about gas exchange. The activity involves using an indicator called BTB to test for the presence of carbon dioxide in exhaled breath. In part A, students test samples of air, sodium hydroxide solution, and their own exhaled breath to see how the BTB indicator changes color in response to carbon dioxide. In part B, students measure the number of drops of BTB needed to detect carbon dioxide levels in the exhaled breath of their classmates. The document includes the procedure, data tables to record results, analysis questions, and a reflection question about how respiratory diseases may impact breathing ability.17 b gas exchange

1. The document discusses the process of digestion, including both mechanical and chemical breakdown of food as it passes through the digestive system.
2. It explains that the digestive system is responsible for breaking down everything consumed, such as food, drink, and medicine, and describes some of the major organs involved like the esophagus, stomach, and intestines.
3. As food travels through the body, the document aims to explain how the digestive system works through absorption of nutrients and elimination of waste.Activity 14 b breakdown

The document describes an activity about the human digestive system. Students will conduct an experiment to test how the size of food pieces affects the speed of chemical breakdown during digestion. They will give some students whole candy pieces and others broken up pieces, then time how long it takes each student to finish their candy. This will model how chewing food into smaller pieces increases the surface area and allows for faster chemical breakdown in the digestive system.Activity 14 b breakdown

1) Dr. Goldberger studied the disease pellagra by experimenting on prisoners and orphans. He fed some prisoners and orphans diets lacking in nutrients to see if they developed pellagra.
2) Through this experiment, Dr. Goldberger found evidence that pellagra was caused by nutritional deficiencies rather than germs.
3) However, others did not believe Dr. Goldberger's conclusion because they questioned whether it was ethical to experiment on humans, and thought the evidence from prisoners and orphans was not scientifically valid.Recently uploaded (20)

The Solar Systems passage through the Radcliffe wave during the middle Miocene

As the Solar System orbits the Milky Way, it encounters various Galactic environments, including dense regions of the
interstellar medium (ISM). These encounters can compress the heliosphere, exposing parts of the Solar System to the ISM, while also
increasing the influx of interstellar dust into the Solar System and Earths atmosphere. The discovery of new Galactic structures, such
as the Radcliffe wave, raises the question of whether the Sun has encountered any of them.
Aims. The present study investigates the potential passage of the Solar System through the Radcliffe wave gas structure over the past
30 million years (Myr).
Methods. We used a sample of 56 high-quality, young (30 Myr) open clusters associated with a region of interest of the Radcliffe
wave to trace its motion back and investigate a potential crossing with the Solar Systems past orbit.
Results. We find that the Solar Systems trajectory intersected the Radcliffe wave in the Orion region. We have constrained the timing
of this event to between 18.2 and 11.5 Myr ago, with the closest approach occurring between 14.8 and 12.4 Myr ago. Notably, this
period coincides with the Middle Miocene climate transition on Earth, providing an interdisciplinary link with paleoclimatology. The
potential impact of the crossing of the Radcliffe wave on the climate on Earth is estimated. This crossing could also lead to anomalies
in radionuclide abundances, which is an important research topic in the field of geology and nuclear astrophysics.2025-03-03-Data-related-Ethics Issues in Technologies for Professional Learni...

How could modern LA research address data-related ethics issues in informal and situated professional learning? I will identify in this talk three relevant insights based on field studies around workplace LA interventions: Firstly, in informal and situated learning, data isnt just about the learners. Secondly, the affordances of manual and automatic data tracking for learning are very different, with manual tracking allowing a high degree of learner control over data. Thirdly, learning is not necessarily a shared goal in workplaces. These can be translated into seeing a potential for systems endowed with sufficient natural-language-processing capability (now seemingly at our fingertips with LLMs), and socio-technical design and scenario-based data collection analysis as design and research methods.ABA_in_plant_abiotic_stress_mitigation1.ppt

This extensive slide deck provides a detailed exploration of variation and natural selection for IGCSE Biology. It covers key concepts such as genetic and environmental variation, types of variation (continuous and discontinuous), mutation, evolution, and the principles of natural selection. The presentation also explains Darwins theory of evolution, adaptation, survival of the fittest, selective breeding, antibiotic resistance in bacteria, and speciation. With illustrative diagrams, real-life examples, and exam-style questions, this resource is ideal for IGCSE students, teachers, and independent learners preparing for exams.Seminario- biologia molecular.
