To Do: Write 2 - 3 sentences describing how scientists do their work?
Key Words: Hypothesis, Scientific Method
Activity 2: The Pellagra StorySeptember 9, 2015
Getting Started: List 2 things that scientists could do to learn more about a disease and its cause or causes?
Challenge: What are the common elements of all scientific problem-solving methods?
Key Words: ethics, evidence, inference, observation
Results: See Worksheets Fill in “Notes on the Pellagra Story” sheet Complete “Observation and Inference” sheet Compare “Dr. Goldberger and the Traditional Scientific Method’
Analysis: Answer Analysis Questions 1a, 1b, 2a, (homework)
Hypothesis: An educated guess
Scientific Method: Steps that scientists use to complete their work.
Ethics: Looking at what is right and wrong
Evidence: Info that is collected to see if something is true.
Inference: A conclusion based on evidence
Observation: Looking at something carefully.
Key Words:
Should a prisoner who participated in Dr. Goldberger’s experiment on Pallegra be allowed to be released
from prison?
Activity 12: What’s Happening Inside?September 14 - 16, 2014
Getting Started: List as many human organs as you can.
Introduction: Read and summarize pg. B-10 in 2 sentences.
Challenge: What do you know about organs and organ systems of the human body?
Key Words:
System- A group of related parts that work together
Organ- a structure made of tissues that perform an important body function (job).
Organ System- a group of organs that work together to perform an important body function (job).
RACE:
Is the Human Body an amazing machine?
Procedure: Have you read and do you understand the procedure for part A pg. B11-B12 together? Write two sentences that describes what you will be doing.
Results: Part A: Copy questions from part A “laying it out” Part B: Write your grouped organs in your notebook Complete student sheet 12.1 sheet Part D: student sheet 12.2a and 12.2b
Analysis: Answer Analysis Questions 1,2, 5 and 6.
Reflection: What new things have you learned about the human body in this activity?

Activity 5: Can you feel the difference?September
Getting Started: Discuss designing an experiment. (Watch PBS Video- http://pbskids.org/dragonflytv/show/basketball.html)
Introduction: Read and summarize pg. A-20 in one/two sentences.
Challenge: What is the smallest distance apart at which you can still feel two points?
Key Words: variables, control variables, sample size, sensitivity
Procedure: We will read the procedures on pg. A21 - A23 together.
Results: See sheet
Analysis: Answer Analysis Questions 1, 3, 4a, 4b and 6.
Reflection: How would you create an experiment to test a person’s sensitivity to sound?
Activity 5: Paper Shots
Getting Started: Discussion “How would you set-up a basketball shooting experiment?” (Watch PBS Video- http://pbskids.org/dragonflytv/show/basketball.html)
Challenge: What are the variables of a well designed experiment?
