5. Testing Promotional Claims Lab In this lab, you are a researcher for Consumer Reports magazine. Your task is to test the generic vs. named brand version of an item of your choice to see which is the most efficient. Your group must design an experiment that will accurately test the efficiency of your name brand and generic item. Remember that in your Biology class, we are concerned about qualitative and quantitative data. So, the experiment you and your group devise must be measurable (weight, time, length, etc.) as well as descriptive (detailed observations ). You will each be writing a lab report over this experiment (using the lab report template in your journal), so make sure somebody in your group is recording all of the information that will be included in the report. Once your experiment is designed, inform your teacher which pieces of lab equipment your group will need. Remember to determine the types of charts and data tables to use to accurately report out. Once all material is gathered, you may begin testing your products!

6. Lab Report Format Title ( centered) Objective ( your TEKS summarized) : To demonstrate safe laboratory practices; formulate a testable hypothesis, plan and implement experimental procedures; select appropriate lab equipment, make precise measurements; analyze, interpret, and evaluate data, communicate valid conclusions based off data Introduction/Problem Hypothesis Safety Materials Experimental Procedures Results/Data Conclusion ( in this lab, you will also communicate your results by making a promotional ad/commercial)

7. Options for Lab Paper towels Facial tissue Toilet tissue Freezer/storage bags Your own idea

9. Reminders For Lab Your hypothesis has to be in if/then format List your safety measures/symbols for the lab Identify your independent (If…..) and dependent ( Then…..) variable within your lab.( Ex. If I water grass three times a week, then the grass will increase in length by two inches) Make sure you have BOTH quantitative and qualitative data. Make sure your experimental procedures are detailed. Include data tables, graphs, charts for your results/data section Identify a control ( if there is one) and your constant.

Thursday 9-5-13 Past Due: Safety Symbols and Unit One Vocabulary ( Last Day) Objective: The student is expected to demonstrate safe practices during laboratory and field investigations; know that hypotheses are tentative and testable statements that must be capable of being supported or not supported by observational evidence; plan and implement descriptive, comparative, and experimental investigations, including asking questions, formulating testable hypotheses, and selecting equipment and technology; collect and organize qualitative and quantitative data and make measurements with accuracy and precision using tools; analyze, evaluate, make inferences, and predict trends from data; and communicate valid conclusions supported by the data through methods such as lab reports; draw inferences based on data related to promotional materials for products and services Agenda: 1. Bubble in Pre-Assessment Scan-Tron Answers 2. Lab Equipment, Safety Rules, and Safety Symbols Assessment- DO NOT WRITE ON THE TEST 3. Continue Lab 1: Testing Promotional Claims (9L-9R)- if time allows 4. Clean up/Pack Up Reminder: Lab Report and Unit Two Vocabulary Due Monday

11. Friday 9-6-13 Objective: The student is expected to demonstrate safe practices during laboratory and field investigations; know that hypotheses are tentative and testable statements that must be capable of being supported or not supported by observational evidence; plan and implement descriptive, comparative, and experimental investigations, including asking questions, formulating testable hypotheses, and selecting equipment and technology; collect and organize qualitative and quantitative data and make measurements with accuracy and precision using tools; analyze, evaluate, make inferences, and predict trends from data; and communicate valid conclusions supported by the data through methods such as lab reports; draw inferences based on data related to promotional materials for products and services Agenda: 1. Levels Of Organization Notes (11R) 2. Continue Lab 1: Testing Promotional Claims (9L-9R)- if time allows 3. Clean up/Pack Up Reminder: Lab Report and Unit Two Vocabulary Due Monday ; Have Symbiotic Relationship Cards cut out

12. Levels of Organization Identify cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms, populations, communities, and ecosystems as levels of organization in the biosphere. Identify the levels of organization in the biosphere including cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems,as well as organisms, populations, communities, and ecosystems.

13. Levels of Organization Cell—Basic unit of structure and function in organisms. – Some organisms, like bacteria and protists, are unicellular (made entirely of one cell). – Some organisms, like fungi, plants, and animals, are multicellular (made of many cells). – Bacteria have prokaryotic cells. – Protists, Fungi, Plants, and Animals have eukaryotic cells. – In multicellular organisms, cells exhibit cell specialization. They take on specific jobs and look different from each other. – The cells also exhibit division of labor. They split up the work of the organism.

16. Levels of Organization Tissues—Groups of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function. – 4 major tissue types in animals Epithelial tissue Connective tissue Muscle tissue Nervous tissue

17. Levels of Organization Organs—structures made of different types of tissues that work together to perform a specific function. – Examples Heart Lungs Stomach Small intestine Liver Large Intestine Gall Bladder Plant Roots Plant Stems Plant Leaves

18. Levels of Organization Organ Systems—Groups of organs that work together to perform a specific function. – Examples: Digestive system Circulatory system Respiratory system Nervous system Muscular system Skeletal system Integumentary system (skin) Vascular system in plants

19. Levels of Organization Organism—A complete, individual living thing. Examples: – A single person – A single plant – A single bacterium – A single protist
