Nursing Revealed Sunday, April 14, 2019 10:00 am – 2:00 pm EVENT FLYER San Diego State University – Adams Humanities Building (AH 2108) 5500 Campanile Drive San Diego, CA 92182 Nursing Revealed is a FREE event for local high school and community college students. The event is hosted by the SDSU Student Nurses Association. Attendees will tour the SDSU campus the skills lab with mannequins, participate in interactive breakout sessions and learn about the SDSU School of Nursing admission requirements. Free lunch included! Students under 18 yrs. must attend with a parent/guardian. Register yourself at https://sdsunursingrevealed.eventbrite.com. Monday IB Biology - SO today we were able to find our place in the project. This week our goal is to incorporate the material from unit 4 into your Environmental Impact report. While I will cover the general ideas of each chapter section, you should start the hunt for climate change data that you deem reliable. Come prepared with NOAA, etc. data ready for tomorrow. Honors Biology - Today we found out what we know and what we don't know. We found out that rainfall has nothing to do with this buffalo issue, and we also know what carrying capacity means, but what else do we need to answer this question? There is no official homework, but I want you to watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qB5zrj1rOXI Tuesday IB Biology - Today we did a brief introduction/review of ecology (4.1). You should know the names we use to describe the way organisms get their nutrients, but also about how we can discover associations between organisms using the chi-square test. Tonight I want you to complete the chi-squared test DBQ on page 209. Go step by step. Honors Biology - Today we started to discover more information about our mystery, the Serengeti buffalo. Today we looked at the idea that maybe predation went down during this period and what we found was that it actually went up a little bit, but was mostly stable! It looks like predation isn't the answer, but it allowed us to talk about the trophic pyramid described by Dr. Lindeman and his 10% rule. Tonight, I'm going to look, but I also want you to look for data on animal populations in the Serengeti, Breeding rates in the Serengeti, carrying capacity, disease, human interactions, or migration patterns of the Serengeti. Remember, we need data not speculation. Bring something to the data "party" tomorrow. You can print it and put it on the left side of the entry. Wednesday IB Biology - Today we spent our time with prep work! You should have divided up responsibilities for 4.2 Energy Flow, 4.3 Carbon cycling, and 4.4 Climate Change. These should be incorporated into your environmental impact report, but I know you may not get it all so I'll answer questions on Friday since we have a guest speaker tomorrow. We have exactly 1 week until this is due! Honors Biology - Today you divide up all of the research topics that we discussed in class. We focused on data and played the role of a good skeptical scientist. We will summarize what we have found tomorrow, but until then I need you to summarize your research and describe what it means. If it means that it couldn't possibly be one factor, then than that's what it means. You do not have to have a whole answer, but put down your thinking. This should end up on the left side of the entry we were working on. Thursday - Minimum Day IB Biology - Hello Y'all, I thought that our guest speaker was going to share a bit more than she did, but that's okay since we got a chance to discuss where we are in the project. Tonight you should continue to incorporate your information into your report, but also to identify questions about the material for tomorrow. In addition, I need you to prove your beliefs wrong when it comes to climate change. Bring some data in for us to look at (with citation). It should be hard copy so we can view it under the docucam. We will answer questions, look at data, and go over the DBQ from earlier this week tomorrow. Honors Biology - Today we were able to summarize your attack on the data in our attempts to solve the buffalo mystery of why the population rose and then plummeted. Tonight using everything we have done so far, please go back to your original entry where you wrote your first model to explain what was happening with the buffalo, and write your second model/theory under the first one. Be ready to share that tomorrow. Friday IB Biology - Have you included the following concepts?sources and sinks of carbon cycling, a food web, energy conversions, how to monitor these changes in the environment, how greenhouse gases work, and uncertainty in predictions of climate change? Honors Biology - The computer model can be found at http://serengeti.inquiry-hub.net I would also like you to turn the "Physical Raindrops" button off as it will help the speed of the program. Set the %-GRASSLAND-CENTRAL-REGION slider value to any value above 80. Set both the buffalo and wildebeest to 10 Click off the vaccine button (there should be no check in this box) Turn on the seasonal rains and wildebeest migrate buttons (there should be checks in these boxes) Press the SETUP/RESET button. ------------> Press the GO/PAUSE button. -----------------> Press the INFECT BUFFALO button at 500 ticks. ----------> Click ON the vaccine button after 1000 ticks Keep the model running until at least 2000 ticks in order to see how Rinderpest and its cure affected the populations of the buffalo and wildebeest. Record your observations. Run this simulation 2 more times and record your observations. Now try your own ideas about change.
