Week 28

Monday & Tuesday, March 23 & 24, 2020: For first lesson of Week 28, we will revisit the concept of taxonomy, first introduced by Carl Linneaus back in 1735.  Visit the HHMI Creating Phylogenetic Trees from DNA Sequences web page.  Download and complete the worksheet by working through the Click and Learn activity.

For your work today, create a new Google Doc titled with your name – Week 28.  Share the Doc with Mr. Swart.  Write answers to the worksheet questions in your Week 28 Google Doc into a section titled “Creating Phylogenetic Trees from DNA Sequences Worksheet Answers”.

Wednesday-Thursday, March 25-26, 2020: Over the past few weeks, we have acquired a significant amount of evidence for evolution:

• Natural selection (the common ancestry of brown bears and polar bears; dinosaurs and chickens)
• Artificial selection (humans selecting for desired traits, such as dog breeding)
• 13 different finch species now inhabiting the Galapagos Islands all evolving from a common Mainland finch ancestor

As we continue learning about evolution, we must expand our view to consider the concept of co-evolution:

• Co-evolution is the idea that organisms do not evolve in a vacuum.
• The term co-evolution is used to describe cases where two (or more) species reciprocally affect each other’s evolution.
• Plants and insects represent a classic case of co-evolution — one that is often, but not always, mutualistic. Many plants and their pollinators are so reliant on one another and their relationships are so exclusive that biologists have good reason to think that the “match” between the two is the result of a co-evolutionary process.
• For more about co-evolution, visit the evolution.Berkeley.edu website!

Important Vocabulary:

• Host: an organism that harbors a parasite, or a mutual or commensal symbiont, typically providing nourishment and shelter.
• Bacteria: microscopic living organisms, usually one-celled, that can be found everywhere. They can be dangerous, such as when they cause infection, or beneficial, as in the process of fermentation (such as in wine) and that of decomposition.
• Virus: Any of various simple submicroscopic parasites of plants, animals, and bacteria that often cause disease and that consist essentially of a core of RNA or DNA surrounded by a protein coat. Unable to replicate without a host cell, viruses are typically not considered living organisms.
• Infection: Invasion and multiplication of an infectious agent in body tissues of the host and may lead to clinical symptoms or local cellular injury as a result of competition in metabolism, production of toxins, intracellular replication, or antigen antibody response.
• Symbiosis: the interaction between two different organisms living in close physical association.
• Symbiotic Relationships:
  • Mutualism: symbiosis that is beneficial to both organisms involved.
  • Commensalism: an association between two organisms in which one benefits and the other derives neither benefit nor harm.
  • Parasitism: a non-mutual symbiotic relationship between species, where one species, the parasite, benefits at the expense of the other, the host.

For your work today, create a new section in your Week 28 Google Doc titled “Biological Relationships Vocabulary”.  Then, for each of the 12 words from this lesson highlighted in red bold text, research your own examples of these biological relationships and write up your work in your Week 28 Google Doc.  Include source citations as appropriate.

---

Friday, March 27, 2020: Yesterday you learned about the many different ways organisms can live together.  Today we will focus on the type of symbiotic relationship called parasitism.  We will begin by watching a National Geographic video about zombie parasites.  The presenter, Anand Varma, applies his expertise in photography to the study of parasites.  Mr. Varma travels the world collecting specimen for study, and his ability to apply biological concepts to his work, think creatively, and drive to overcome failure make him and his work truly remarkable.

Next, read the article Meet the Parasites That Control Human Brains.  In your Week 28 Google Doc, create a section titled “Zombie Parasites” and share your thoughts on the following questions:

• Why do zombie parasites persist?
• What niche do they fill within an ecosystem?
• Think about behaviors you see in yourself and those around you.  Ever wonder why people do what they do?
• Does the existence of zombie parasites cause you to think differently about people and their actions?

Image Histogram Analysis

Note: This experiment is being postponed and will be re-visited after Spring Break.  Timelines and deadlines will be revised soon.  Thank you for your patience as we await guidance from our school district.  

Image Histogram Analysis

Background: You are excited for Spring and want to give your seeds a jump-start indoors to protect them from the cold.  You will transplant the seedlings into your garden when the weather warms up.  As a scientist, you are interested in keeping track of how fast the seedlings are growing so you can improve your process next year. One way to track plant growth is through image analysis.  Pictures can provide both qualitative data and quantitative data.  When pictures are subjected to histogram analysis, individual pixels are defined quantitatively and those data points can be plotted onto a graph to form a histogram.  New to histograms?  Learn more here.  New to histograms as they relate to photography?  Learn more here.

Materials: Paper pulp egg cartons, potting soil, and seeds.  Together, these will form the “incubator garden.”  Also, digital camera and image analysis software capable of generating image histograms.  I will be using the Image Histogram Creator available for free online by Sisek because it is simple to use and allows histogram data to be exported to a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.

Challenge: Evaluate and record the growth of seedlings by taking daily photographs of the incubator garden and tracking changes in luminosity and color.  Beginning on the day seeds are planted, take daily pictures and minimize as much picture variability as possible by keeping the lighting and camera distance consistent.  **Note: This is really important and will probably be the hardest part of the experiment!  The solution you engineer to minimizing variability in light and distance should be carefully documented in your lab report.

Deadline: Create a Google Doc titled “Egg Carton Garden – Your Name” and share it with Mr. Swart.  Write the Purpose and Procedure sections.  First drafts must be shared no later than Wednesday, April 1.  Students are encouraged to create their own gardens.  However, students are welcome to use the images posted to this page and conduct image analyses with those.  You will be responsible for completing the Results and Conclusion sections of your Google Doc.  When you are finished, your lab report grade for this document will replace your lowest lab report score from 2nd semester.  Lab reports will be due Friday, May 1.

Data Collection: Between April 3 and April 24, pictures will be taken and posted to this page.

Disclaimer: In the event school does not reopen on Monday, April 27, Mr. Swart reserves the right to extend deadlines and data collection so we can learn as much as possible from this experiment.

Experimental Design Challenge

Note: This experiment is being postponed and will be re-visited after Spring Break.  Timelines and deadlines will be revised soon.  Thank you for your patience as we await guidance from our school district.  

Experimental Design Challenge!

Background: You have a Red Tip Photinia tree in your yard that needs to be removed.  It’s growing too close to your house and you are concerned about foundation damage if it gets any bigger.  Inspired by Groot, you decide to propagate the plant by taking cuttings and planting them in a new location.  Now comes the hard part: what to do?

Observations: The plant is currently growing like crazy because Spring has arrived.  The part of each branch closes to the trunk has a woody stem, while the new branch growth stem is red in color.

Materials: You intend to plant the cuttings directly into the soil in your yard.  The best available section of your yard to conduct the experiment is along the western fence line.  You also bought rooting hormone powder and want to determine: 1) will it promote root growth as advertised and 2) will using it result in healthier new plants?

Challenge: Design an experiment to determine the best way to propagate the plant.

Deadline: Create a Google Doc titled “Will It Grow – Your Name” and share it with Mr. Swart.  Write the Purpose and Procedure sections.  First drafts must be shared no later than Wednesday, March 25.  The experiment will begin Friday, March 27 and will end Friday, April 24.  You will be responsible for completing the Results and Conclusion sections of your Google Doc.  When you are finished, your lab report grade for this document will replace your lowest lab report score from 2nd semester.  Lab reports will be due Friday, May 1.

Data Collection: Between March 27 and April 24, data will be collected and posted to this page.

Disclaimer: In the event school does not reopen on Monday, April 27, Mr. Swart reserves the right to extend deadlines and data collection so we can learn as much as possible from this experiment.

Week 27

Monday & Tuesday, March 16 & 17, 2020: Last week we learned all about our inner animals.  Our study of evolution continues online this week with a dive into Charles Dawin and the Voyage of the Beagle.  To begin, watch the HHMI Biointeractive video below:

Next, you will follow in Darwin’s footsteps as he explored the Galapagos Islands.  Using the Explore the Galapagos feature on the PBS NOVA website, you will take a tour of where Darwin went and what he observed.  You will document your work by creating a Google Doc (title: Name – Week 27) and sharing the doc with Mr. Swart.  Copy the questions below into your doc and then answer them all in complete sentences:

1. Where are the Galapagos Islands?
2. First click on “Explore the Islands” and read about three of the islands.  Summarize one observation for each of the three islands you read about.
3. Look at “Darwin’s Finches”.  What do you think it means by unique niche, based on what the rest of the paragraph says?
4. How are the beaks different and why was that important?
5. Now click on “What Darwin Saw”.  You will be going through his various stages and reading about what Darwin said (if you have headphones you can listen to the interviews as well).  Summarize Darwin’s first impressions (just writing the opening sentence will get you zero credit, click for the full story).
6. What surprised Darwin on the islands?
7. What did the tortoises offer the local people?  How did it benefit Darwin?
8. At first Darwin thought the birds were unrelated, but what ideas eventually came from his observations of the finches?
9. What was the fallout (or result) of Darwin’s journey?
10. Go back to the “Explore the Islands”.  Look at some of the interpretative panoramics and the animals.  Pick one (or two for a bonus point) animals and summarize their unique characteristics.

Wednesday & Thursday, March 18 & 19, 2020: We continue our investigation into the history of biological research by moving past Charles Darwin and learning about the work of Carolus Linneaus, the father of modern taxonomy.  To help place the concept of taxonomy into historical perspective, review the individuals listed below and briefly summarize their major accomplishments into your Google Doc.  For reference, a link to a previous lesson about Watson & Crick’s discovery of the structure of DNA is also included, as are links to the texts by Darwin and Linneaus.

• Structure of DNA discovered in 1953
  • James Watson (1928- )
  • Francis Crick (1916-2004)
  • Rosalind Franklin (1920-1958)
• Theory of Evolution, On the Origin of Species (published 1859)
  • Charles Darwin (1809-1882)
• Biological Classification / Taxonomy (Systema Naturae, published 1735)
  • Carl Linneaus (1707-1778)

Next, complete the Biological Classification POGIL and email Mr. Swart with any questions.  Options for showing your work include:

• Print your own copy, fill it out, and then email Mr. Swart with pictures of your completed work
• Write answers to the POGIL questions in your Week 27 Google Doc into a new section titled “Biological Classification POGIL Answers”.

Keep Learning!

Students who would like additional learning about taxonomy are encouraged to watch the Crash Course video below:

Friday, March 20, 2020: Congratulations on completing your first week of distance learning in Biology!  For our Friday lesson, sit back and enjoy Jack Horner’s entertaining TED Talk in which he describes his research connecting dinosaurs and chickens.

After the video, open your Week 27 Google Doc add definitions for the terms embryology, the fossil record, atavisms, and behavior.  Include an example of each from Dr. Horner’s talk.  Double-check your Week 27 Google Doc is shared with Mr. Swart, then have a great weekend!

Combustion Lab

Class began with a reminder that all work from lessons 70-73 (chapter 13) must be turned in at the start of class on Monday morning for full credit.

For our work today, we reviewed the combustion of propane and balanced the equation, then carried out an experiment in which a candle (made of paraffin wax, another hydrocarbon) is combusted under a bell jar.  We timed how long the candle burned for, and also measured the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the room (before combustion) and under the bell jar (after the candle extinguished).

Next, we wrote the chemical equations for combining hydrogen peroxide and bleach (producing oxygen) and for combining baking soda and vinegar (producing carbon dioxide).  We evaluated the effect of combustion in the presence of excess oxygen or carbon dioxide, measuring how long the candle burned as our endpoint.

School Closed – Coronavirus

Dear Students,

With the sudden closure of all schools across our region, we didn’t have the chance for a real goodbye or to discuss plans for how to keep things going outside of school.  My hope is that you will make the most of your time away from school and keep your brains active and engaged.

• Students who wish to improve current grades: Use Synergy to identify missing assignments, then locate those assignments here.  Complete the work, then email me a picture of what you have completed.  All missing work will be awarded a maximum of 60% credit. Email with any questions or to obtain copies of assignments that cannot be posted online.
• Students who wish to earn bonus credit: Contribute to the STEAM Punks section of this website.  Pick a topic, explore it in depth, then write up your findings into a post that can be linked to one of the STEAM sections.  Wondering how to begin?  Visit the post on Sleep.
• Students who wish to earn Honors credit: Complete the following learning enrichment opportunities.  Email Mr. Swart with any questions and send evidence of completed work by email or as a shared Google Doc (student-created, shared with Mr. Swart).
  • Week 27: Darwin’s Voyage and Biological Classification
  • Week 28: Relationships between Organisms
  • Week 29: Big History Project
  • Spring Break
  • Weeks 30 and 31: Evidence for Change
• Resources and information for students and families during the school closure:
  • Highline Public Schools – Closure Announcement
  • Meals for students during school closure
  • Need Internet access at home?

Stay well,

Mr. Swart

School Closed – Coronavirus

Updated Monday, April 6

Dear Students,

This afternoon, Governor Inslee made the call to keep school buildings closed through the end of the school year.  To help answer the many questions you must have, please visit our school district’s web page regarding the closure due to COVID-19.  There is a link at the bottom of the page to ask questions through a ThoughtExchange.

This week is Spring Break.  Get lots of rest.  Finish any last missing assignments.  Be prepared to start 4th quarter ready to learn via distance learning.  Let’s embrace this challenge and make the most of the time we have left together this school year!  To those of you who attended the practice Zoom session last Friday, I promised you I would share information as it became available.  Here is what I know so far:

• • Tuesdays are new Science learning days.  New Chemistry lessons will be posted each week on Monday mornings at 8:00 (in case you want to get ahead!)
  • Work for the week is due by Sunday at 11:59pm after the Tuesday it was assigned.
  • Office hours will take place through Zoom meetings on Tuesdays (11am-12pm) and Thursdays (1pm-2pm).  You will receive meeting instructions to your student Gmail before each meeting.  Attendance is optional but encouraged.
  • Check your student Gmail account daily.  Email me any time with any questions, comments, or concerns you have.
  • The Honors option will be available for 2nd semester.  Now that we have confirmation, I will be working out the details for the loosely outlined project in my original post.  Again, thank you for your patience and stay tuned.
  • I have reconfigured the Chemistry section of our class website to reflect the reality of distance learning.  Wondering about labs?  Me too!  We’ve got couple we will try to pull off from a distance – put purple cabbage on the shopping list the first week of June.  You will need it for Week 38.

As always, please reach out with any comments/questions/concerns.  Stay well, stay home, and see you soon.

Mr. Swart

• Students who wish to earn Honors credit: Read about the Flint, Michigan water crisis caused by lead-contaminated drinking water.  Then, research another human-caused environmental / public health crisis caused by toxic chemicals.  National Geographic is a good starting point to learn about existing Superfund sites in the United States.  More details about project expectations to come.  Update: The Honors project is on hold until we receive confirmation that students will be allowed to earn an Honors credit for second semester.  
• Please check back frequently for updates.  We will know by Thursday (March 19) about district support for teachers providing students with sustained distance learning opportunities.  I am unbelievably proud of the progress my students have made this year in chemistry.  My intent is to continue to use this space to post lessons to support continued learning, with the complete understanding that this work is for enrichment and understanding, not for grading.  See above to address and/or remedy current grades.  Please reach out via Synergy email or through the About Me comment section here at any time with questions, comments, or concerns.
• Highline Public Schools – Closure Announcement
• Meals for students during school closure
• Need Internet access at home?

Stay well,
