arrangement of the periodic table for cornell noteslaheflin
The document discusses how elements are arranged on the periodic table based on their characteristics. Elements in the same group have similar properties, such as reactivity, and the same number of valence electrons. Elements in the same period have the same number of electron shells. Alkali metals are in group 1, have one valence electron, and are very reactive. Halogens are in group 17, have seven valence electrons, and are one electron shy of a full outer shell. Noble gases are in group 18, have a full outer shell, and do not react with other elements.
This document is the periodic table of the elements. It lists the name, symbol, atomic number, standard state, and relative atomic mass of each chemical element. The elements are organized into blocks by their atomic structure and periodic properties.
The document discusses several important lab safety rules: always follow the teacher's directions; conduct oneself in a responsible manner without horseplay; do not touch any materials until instructed to do so; do not eat, drink, or chew gum in the lab; report all accidents immediately to the teacher; wear goggles, closed-toed shoes, and natural fiber clothing and tie back long hair; do not wear sandals, jewelry, or loose clothing; and ask the teacher how to properly dispose of waste and never pour anything down the drain without permission. Following these rules is essential for safety in the science lab.

The document defines key terms of the periodic table including protons, neutrons, electrons, and nucleus. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons are neutral, electrons have a negative charge, and the nucleus is at the center of the atom. Atoms are considered the building blocks of all matter because all matter is made up of one or more atoms. The periodic table contains an element's atomic number, symbol, and atomic mass.
The document discusses scientific inquiry and experimental design. It explains that the scientific method involves stating a problem, forming a hypothesis, conducting procedures and experiments, analyzing results, and drawing conclusions. It then contrasts experimental design with the scientific method, noting they are similar but experimental design focuses more on research questions, formulating hypotheses, careful observation, data gathering and analysis, and identifying patterns in data. The document provides examples of descriptive investigations and experimental research design, and gives the example of an experimental design study on whether plants grow better with coke or water as the independent variable.
Here are five sentence answers to the questions:
Introduced species can negatively affect biodiversity in an ecosystem by competing with and preying upon native species, often driving some native species to extinction. They disrupt the natural balance and niche relationships that have developed over long periods of time.
Pollution can affect biodiversity in an ecosystem by poisoning organisms, destroying habitats, and causing reproductive problems that weaken populations and make species more vulnerable to extinction. Pollution like oil spills or pesticides can kill many organisms at once or accumulate in the food chain.
If the current mass extinction continues at its predicted rate, it will drastically reduce global biodiversity and disrupt ecosystem functions and services that humans rely on. Whole ecosystems may collapse as keystone

1) Biodiversity refers to the variety of species on Earth, with about 1.6 million known species, most of which are insects.
2) Biodiversity is important because it provides a variety of resources and products to support life, and helps maintain the atmosphere and keep the soil fertile.
3) Loss of biodiversity can destabilize ecosystems because each species plays an important role; if a keystone species disappears, the ecosystem may collapse.
Biodiversity refers to the variety of species on Earth, which provides resources and helps maintain the atmosphere and soil fertility. Loss of biodiversity occurs when species disappear from ecosystems, altering interactions and functions. The main threats to biodiversity are habitat loss, introduced species, pollution, population growth, and climate change, which can cause mass extinctions that profoundly impact Earth.
This document defines key ecological terms and concepts including:
- Autotrophs are organisms like plants that can produce their own food through photosynthesis. They are also called producers.
- Heterotrophs or consumers cannot produce their own food and rely on other organisms for sustenance. There are herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, and decomposers.
- Food webs and food chains describe the transfer of energy as organisms consume each other across trophic levels from producers to various consumers to decomposers.
At each level of the food chain, about 90% of the energy from the previous organism is lost as heat. As a result, only about 10% of the energy is transferred to the next level, meaning there is less energy available at higher levels of the food chain. This is illustrated by an example where the sun provides 1000ml of "energy" but by the time it reaches decomposers like mushrooms, only 0.1ml remains.
Reproductive systems presentation version 2laheflin
The document provides information about the male and female reproductive systems, their functions, and key parts. It describes that the main functions are to ensure survival of the species by producing egg and sperm cells, transporting and sustaining these cells, nurturing developing offspring, and producing hormones. It then details specific male functions of producing, maintaining and transporting sperm and semen, and producing male sex hormones. It also details specific female functions of producing egg cells, transporting eggs, providing a place for baby to develop, menstruating if not fertilized, and producing female sex hormones.

This document provides a list of 6 forensic science trivia questions. The questions cover topics such as the 3 basic types of fingerprints, an animal with fingerprints similar to humans, the 4 blood types, the study of gunshots and bullets, a DNA database used by the FBI, and a fingerprint database.
This document contains 4 multiple choice questions about forensic science concepts:
1) 93% of victim identifications in disasters are made using dental records.
2) Locard's principle states that when two objects touch, material is transferred between them, forming the basis of forensic science.
3) Not all statements about DNA are true - identical twins have identical DNA, but DNA cannot determine age or race on its own.
4) Sir Alec Jeffreys developed the first DNA profiling test, which was first used to solve a crime in England in 1986.
The document is a short quiz about forensic science terms related to ballistics, gunshot residue, and types of manslaughter. It asks what the study of gunshots and bullets is called (ballistics), what the abbreviation GSR refers to (gunshot residue), if a fingerprint brush uses lion's mane hair (true), and defines involuntary manslaughter as killing someone without meaning to.
The document contains a trivia quiz about forensic science terms. It asks 4 multiple choice questions about the meaning of the term "forensic", what AFIS stands for in forensics (it stands for Automated Fingerprint Identification System), the two types of wounds someone can receive from being shot (entry wound and exit wound), and a chemical that can detect blood even if wiped away (luminol).
The document is a set of trivia questions about fingerprints and forensic science:
1) Fingerprint ridges help identify individual human beings.
2) Humans acquire fingerprints at birth.
3) The minimum number of matching points required to identify an unknown latent print in the US is 12.
The document is a quiz about forensic science and fingerprints. It contains 5 multiple choice questions testing knowledge about the study of fingerprints (dactyloscopy), what causes fingerprints to be left behind (natural oils in the skin), the 3 basic fingerprint patterns (loops, whorls, arches), which animal has fingerprints similar to humans (koalas), and who was the first to use fingerprints for identification (Dr Henry Faulds).
Ernest T Bass created the Body Farm facility in Knoxville, Tennessee where research is conducted into the nature of human decomposition and the factors that affect the rate of decomposition. Forensic palynology studies pollens and spores. A male skull can be identified as male because it is usually larger, has a more prominent brow ridge, and has a heavier jaw, but not because it has a more rounded chin. A torso found in the River Thames in 1974 was eventually identified through skeletal characteristics seen on x-rays.
Ted Bundy was convicted based on bite mark evidence. Livor mortis refers to the gravitational pooling of blood after death. Aboriginal Australians have a rounded jaw bone called a "rocker jaw" which is characteristic of their ethnic group.
Early blood tests around 1875 had problems distinguishing human blood from animal blood and identifying blood types.
The FBI uses the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) to compile DNA profiles from violent offenders across the nation to match DNA samples found at crime scenes.
A woman's DNA could be found on her cat from petting it after shooting her husband, making the cat the most useful forensic evidence to identify her.
The document contains summaries of 9 cases involving mysteries or crimes. The summaries provide brief descriptions of the situations, including some clues. Max or Slylock Fox are often involved in figuring out the solutions.
A famous painting was stolen from a museum and the thief, Kopy Kat, painted a copy to try and pass off as the original. When Slylock Fox investigated, he noticed the owls in the paintings were different, allowing him to determine which was the real painting and which was the copy.
David was reading in his hotel room when he heard a knock at the door and someone trying the door handle. When he opened it, a man he didn't know claimed he was in the wrong room and walked away. David called the front desk to have police called because the man had obviously been trying to steal from his room since he tried opening the locked door without identifying himself first.
Mrs. Zenitt called Max over to her house because she heard a crash and found her back porch window broken into pieces. She suspected David Loring did it because they recently had an argument about him using her yard as a shortcut. When Max asked David about it, David denied breaking the window and said he was just shooting basketballs, but Max determined he was not telling the truth.
Max saw a tall man with a briefcase drop an envelope in a mailbox as he hurried away from the courthouse. At dinner with Miss Fritz, she mentioned a surprise visitor who had just left - a teacher from the local school for the deaf. Miss Fritz said she had given the man $500 to help the school. Max realized this was the same man he saw, and that the man was likely fraudulent since Miss Fritz said he wasn't actually deaf. They decided to call the police.
