of numbers on the X axes?
6
OBSERVATIONS Factual data, traits, or other
information we can gather about something using
our senses-sight, smell, taste, sound, and touch.
These are not assumptions or guesses-just the
facts. Observations are critical in science as
they are what we base most of our experiments
on. INFERENCES These are ideas we formulate
about something that may need to be investigated
or experimented to find out if they are true. It
is often inferences that strike our curiosity and
want us to learn more.
For example, at the zoo you notice a baby
kangaroo hanging out by itself under a tree. You
can make many observations-size, colors,
behaviors, etc but you infer that he is by the
tree because the other kangaroos dont like him.
Your inference may not be accurate and youd have
to investigate further to find out the truth.

FOCUS QUESTION

• Why did crocodilians evolve the highly sensitive
  black bumps?

8
Mystery Bumps- Scientific Method Review What
was Dr. Soares Observation about
crocidilians? What was her Question? What
were some of her Hypotheses? How did she
Experiment and prove or disprove her
hypotheses? What was her Conclusion?
If a conclusion can not be determined, then the
EXPERIMENT needs to be REVISED and rerun. If
repeated REVISIONS still lead to no conclusion
then the HYPOTHESIS may need to be changed as
well.
9
Adapt and Evolve- change in order to survive in
its environment Cells- all living things are made
of 1 or more cells 1 cellUnicellular ex
amoeba, bacteria, yeast 2 or moreMulticellular
explants, animals, fungi Carbon Based- carbon is
a common element on Earth (C) carbon is found
in coal, oil, pencil lead, diamonds carbon is
the base structure of our cells molecules DIE-it
happens eventually ? DNA-all life uses this code
to be what it is Energy (E)- some things eat for
E Heterotrophs some things use light to make E
Autotrophs Excrete Waste-waste is usually from
processing food or exchanging gases. 1, 2,
Carbon dioxide are all types of waste. Exchange
gases- animals O2 In, CO2 Out Breathing Plants
CO2 In, O2 Out Photosynthesis

• Grow start out as a single cell and get bigger.
  
• some start out as a single cell and grow into
  trillions of cells.
• not constant many organisms stop growing at
  some point
• Homeostasis regulates internal conditions
• body temperature, breathing, chemistry (pH),
  water
• Respond to Stimuli-shows a reaction to some type
  of stimulus-touch, shock, change in temp., lack
  of water, (just about anything!)
• Reproduce to make more of the species
• Asexual- no male or female exchange of genes

Smallpox Images
1973
In 1980, the World Health Organization (WHO),
declared Smallpox eradicated and recommended all
countries stop vaccinations.
Smallpox could spread in any climate, in any
part of the world, at any time. Fatalities
occurred in over 30 of cases.
12
History of Small Pox The Terrible VIRAL Disease!
The oldest known document describing Small Pox
was written in China in 1323! It likely has been
around ever since our species first roamed this
planet.
smallPOX
Small Pox has killed more people than any other
disease in the history of Earth. Probably in the
ball park of 100 million!
By the 1700s the Turks had long been trying to
protect their young children from smallpox by
taking the pus from a pox mark of a recovering
(and very fortunate) person and purposely
infecting their children. Many ended up getting
sick and dying from this practice. This
dangerous idea never caught on elsewhere.
13
Smallpox - Basic Information

• Caused by a virus, in the pox group, somewhat
  like chicken pox.Over 30 of victims died.
  Those that lived were horribly scared.
• The disease could be spread easily from person to
  person. Usually in saliva or other bodily
  fluids. Could also be spread from the pus of
  skin lesions to others.
• Causes horrible skin pustules, and very high
  fevers.
• Responsible for more human deaths than any other
  infectious disease in history. Estimates run
  over 100 million deaths.
• Smallpox was brought to the New World by the
  early Spanish explorers. No Native Americans had
  any resistance to it, thus millions of people
  died and many cultures completely disappeared.
• Survivors of the disease never get it again.
• Vaccinations stopped in the USA in 1972, and in
  the rest of the world in 1980. Last reported
  case was in 1977 in Somalia.
• Declared eradicated by the WHO in 1980. Only
  Russia and the USA kept it in laboratory
  conditions. Russia highly altered smallpox to
  make it more deadly and to use as bio weapon
  (they had enough to kill 60 billion people)
• Smallpox is now highly feared as a bio-terrorism
  weapon.

FOCUS QUESTION

• Why didnt Dr. Jenner test his vaccine on himself?

17
Dr. Jenner Scientific Method Review What was
his Observation about small pox? What was his
Question? What was his key Hypotheses? How
did he Experiment and prove or disprove his
hypothesis? What was his Conclusion? Why
didnt the public immediately jump on board with
this process? Why did it take so long to wipe
out Smallpox? Do you know of any other diseases
that are close to being completely
irradicated? Which diseases should be at the
forefront of vaccine research today?

CLASSWORK

• Return Work
• Discuss Beetle strength test ideas in groups
• Finalize experiment
• Variables vs. Controls
• Bess Beetles
• Mass Beetles again and compare

HOMEWORK

• Spend 15 minutes or more reviewing

FOCUS QUESTION

• What are the 3 possible types of skeletal systems?

28
EXPERIMENT SET UPS INDEPENDENT VARIABLE-this
part of the experiment that the scientist is in
control of. It is chosen to see what else
changes in the experiment. DEPENDENT
VARIABLE-this is the part of the experiment that
the scientist wants to OBSERVE as he/she believes
the independent variable will force it to change
somehow.
For example, if you open a faucet (the
independent variable), the quantity of water
flowing (dependent variable) changes in
response--you observe that the water flow
increases. The number of dependent variables in
an experiment varies, but there is often more
than one.
29
Beetle Test-Questions to Think about What will
they pull? What increments of mass will you use?
Which objects to act as weights? What is the
surface the beetles will walk on? What surface
will the weights be on? What will you use to hold
the weights? A sled or tray of some type? How
will friction effect your experiment? How far
does the beetle need to pull the weight for it to
count? Is time a factor in the pull? How long of
a string should you use? Does the type of string
matter? Can you entice your beetle to pull the
weights by touching it? By the end of the
hour-your group needs Experimental Methods
