- HS-LS4-4. Construct an explanation based on
evidence for how natural selection leads to
adaptation of populations. Clarification
Statement Emphasis is on using data to provide
evidence for how specific biotic and abiotic
differences in ecosystems (such as ranges of
seasonal temperature, long-term climate change,
acidity, light, geographic barriers, or evolution
of other organisms) contribute to a change in
gene frequency over time, leading to adaptation
of populations. - HS-LS2-8. Evaluate the evidence for the role of
group behavior on individual and species chances
to survive and reproduceClarification Statement
Emphasis is on (1) distinguishing between group
and individual behavior, (2) identifying evidence
supporting the outcomes of group behavior, and
(3) developing logical and reasonable arguments
based on evidence. Examples of group behaviors
could include flocking, schooling, herding, and
cooperative behaviors such as hunting, migrating,
and swarming.
3Bell Work
- List types and methods of animal research.
- Describe what animals are used in laboratory
research. - Explain models and management used for laboratory
animals.
4Terms
- Animal by-product tissue
- Applied research
- Basic research
- Clinical research
- Laboratory animals
- Living animals
- Nonhuman primates
- Nonliving research
5Interest Approach
- Ask the question How do humans know if products
are safe for use? Generate discussion on the
benefits of using animals to test products and
provide medical advances.
6List types and methods of animal research.
7What types and methods are used for animal
research?
- Laboratory animals
- Animals - used and raised for research done in
laboratories - provided many advances for humans
- pros and cons for using animals for research
- benefit to human health has been extremely
important
8Types of Research
- Animal by-product tissue
- animal tissue taken from animals and then used
for other purposes - parts taken are from tissue, organs, and any
other needed parts
- Basic Research
- research carried out in nature or in a lab that
will increase understanding of diseases and life
processes - used to provide data and usually does not have a
predetermined goal
9Types of Research
- Clinical Research
- research that focuses on a specific problem and
is conducted in a medical facility - often uses the species that is intended to
benefit as subjects - New drug development for example
- Applied Research
- Research that has a specific goal, like
developing a vaccine for a disease
10Describe what animals are used in laboratory
research.
11What animals are used in lab research?
- Many species are used for research
- ability to live in very little space and
reproduce quickly makes some animals better
suited for research.

13What animals are used in lab research?
- Mice
- account for over 90 of animals used
- small, easy to handle, reproduce quickly and
require little money to keep - Rats
- mainly for behavior and nutrition studies
- require little space
- well tempered
- Hamsters
- small, stout, furry animals
- more aggressive than mice and rats
- care needs to be taken when handling
- Guinea pigs
- similar to hamsters
- very calm
- easier to handle
- reproduce quickly
- live successfully in a confined area

15What animals are used in lab research?
- Rabbits
- used for drug testing
- they experience some of the common ailments of
humans - Cats
- studies with the brain
- research is easier since brain is less complicated
- Dogs
- used in lab research
- surgical studies
- physiological experiments
- more space is required to house them
16What animals are used in lab research?
- Nonhuman Primates
- animals that are more similar to humans than any
other animal - monkeys
- communication experiments
- Other Creatures
- lobsters used to study nerves since their nervous
systems are simple
17Explain models and management techniques used for
laboratory animals.
18What models and management techniques are used
for lab animals?
- use of animals for research is a well managed in
a strictly controlled area - models have been developed to ensure proper use
of lab animals - 4 basic research animal models
- living animals
- tissue cultures
- nonliving systems
- human-created computer models
19What models and management techniques are used
for lab animals?
- Living animal
- one that is used when it is alive and can respond
to treatments - only used when it is completely necessary
- Tissue cultures
- taken from animals and then used in experiments
- Nonliving research
- done to relate movement or injury to animal
systems - Computer models
- used to quicken experiment results
20What models and management techniques are used
for lab animals?
- Many specific regulations
- Must meet acceptable standards
- approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use
Committee - Allowed based on the Animal Welfare Act of 1985
- enacted to assure acceptable use of animals
- Inspections done by Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service and the Public Health Service
in every state.
21What models and management techniques are used
for lab animals?
- 2 basic animal needs that are monitored
- Nutrition
- Environment
- Nutrition
- keep animals well fed
- malnutrition could affect experiment results
