Dinosaur anatomy and systematics -Part 2
Directions: For this lab you will need to print it out and WRITE your answers on this paper. You will then need to scan or take pictures of each page and submit to Dropbox on Pilot. You will also need to utilize your book and/or Google to help with labeling and drawing.
The Saurischians and Ornithischians.
Laboratory Objective: This laboratory will introduce the student to two very important reptile groups. These groups have been distinguished by various skeletal features. These two groups the Saurischian defined as lizard hips and the Ornithischian defined as bird hips. This identification is based on differences with the pelvic structure.
Laboratory discussion: The Diapsids archosaur reptiles are typed primarily by their skeletal structures that allowed for an upright posture. A debate has been ongoing for about 150 years and questions still remain. In Saurischia the three pelvic bones point in different directions from the acetabulum, or hip socket, which is similar to other reptiles and in Ornithischia the ischium and pubis are in parallel to each other similar to birds.
Laboratory Activities:
1) Draw a cladogram of the major groups of dinosaurs discussed within your textbook (Google might be helpful for this question!!). Label and identify each group and provide a brief description.
2) Draw label and describe the pelvic structure of the Saurischian group.
3) Draw label and identify the pelvic structure of the Ornithischian group.
4) The diapsid reptiles consist of two large groups. Name and describe these two groups.
5) How do the ankle structures of the archosaur provide an insight to their phylogenetic relationship?
6) Describe what features distinguish saurischians from Ornithischia dinosaurs.
7) Briefly summarize the where when and what of the origin of dinosaurs.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

4. It’s All in the Skin
Animals that live in different environments have to deal with
different conditions. Animals have external structures that
allow them to live, grow, reproduce, and survive. External
structures are structures n the outside of an organism.
• A polar bear has external structures
meant for an Arctic environment.
• The external structures of the frog
wouldn’t allow it to survive in the Arctic,
but it can survive in a warmer, wetter
environment.
5. Time to Eat
Animals have external structures that they use to eat.
• Antelopes have mouths with flat teeth at the front.
This allows them to bite grass close to the ground.
• Mountain lions have powerful jaws with very sharp
teeth inside their mouths.
• Giant tubeworms have no mouths! Instead of
eating, they get nutrients from tiny organisms that
live inside them.
6. Take Cover
Animals have many kinds of coverings that protect the insides of their bodies.
• Birds have feathers to keep warm. They are also
necessary for the bird to fly.
• Fur helps insulate this alpaca, preventing heat loss
in the cold mountains.
• A snake’s smooth scales help it grip and push
against surfaces to move.
11. A horse has teeth that
are flat instead of
pointed. Which of these
does a horse’s teeth
help the horse do?
Choose the correct
answer.
• eat grass
• catch prey
• drink water
• avoid danger
12. Take a Deep Breath
Take a breath right now. Which internal structures, or parts inside your
body, fill with air?
• The heart and lungs are organs. An organ is a
body part that performs a function.
• An organ system is a group of organs that
work together to do a job for the body.
• The respiratory system and circulatory
system work together to deliver the oxygen
needed in the bodies of many animals.
13. Let’s Recap the systems!
• The respiratory system and circulatory
system work together to deliver the
oxygen needed in the bodies of many
animals.
• The diaphragm is a muscle under the
lungs that controls breathing. When the
diaphragm contracts, it moves
downward. Air flows into the lungs.
When the diaphragm relaxes, it moves
upward, and air is pushed out of the
lungs.
• The heart moves blood to the lungs,
where the blood picks up oxygen. The
heart then pumps the blood carrying
oxygen around the body.
14. Let’s Recap the systems!
• Blood delivers oxygen to different
parts of the body.
• Blood carries nutrients from
digested food, which the body
uses to produce energy and to
make and replace materials.
• Blood also takes wastes away
from cells in the body.
Blood is usually in the veins and
arteries of the circulatory system.
The Digestive System The Excretory System
• Food enters the body through the mouth. Chewing helps
break down the food before it’s swallowed.
• When you swallow, food moves down a tube called the
esophagus and into the stomach.
• The stomach is a muscular bag that mashes and mixes
the food with substances that help break it down.
• In the small intestine, chemicals help break down food.
These nutrients are absorbed by the body and move into
the blood.
• The blood distributes the nutrients to the rest of the
body.
• The remaining material moves to the large intestine,
where water and minerals are absorbed by the body.
• Solid waste is formed and then passes out of the body.
19. Body Senses
• The skeletal system gives structure, support, and protection to the
softer parts of the body.
• The brain is the central processing organ and is protected by the
skeletal system.
• The nervous system contains two kinds of nerves: those that send
information to the brain and those that send information from the
brain to body.
• The spinal cord is a bundle of special nerve fibers and tissue that
connects almost all the parts of the body to the brain.
20. Skin Deep
Skin is the largest organ and contains special structures called receptors. Receptors
respond to changes inside and outside the body and report them to your nervous
system.
• Touch and pressure receptors react to how hard, soft,
rough, or smooth an object is.
• Temperature receptors in your skin react to the
temperature of the ice cube and send nerve signals to the
brain.
• Pain receptors send information about the pain to the
central nervous system.
