This document contains a review of a lab on beaks of finches and Darwin's theory of natural selection. It discusses how different beak sizes allowed finches to access different food sources on the Galapagos Islands. Offspring of better adapted parents were more likely to inherit advantageous traits that increased chances of survival and reproduction. The lab involved using different tools to simulate beak shapes trying to access different seeds. Data was more accurate when multiple trials were averaged. All finches shared a common ancestor which is why they have similarities.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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.

Why
do offspring of better-adapted
individuals inherit many of their
parents’ favorable variations?
– Favorable variations allow parents

20. Relationships and Biodiversity
The plants used in the lab, and what
they were modeled after… maybe?
This is the Pacific Yew.
It contains “Taxol” –
used to treat cancer.
This is what was
used in the lab,
though.
22. Relationships and Biodiversity
Why
was it necessary to find an
alternative to Botana Curus?

In
the lab, the plant was endangered
and was in short supply.
(In
reality, the Pacific Yew only
produces one dose of drug per tree!
Scientists wanted to find an
alternative!)

41. Diffusion Through a Membrane
What
causes the process of
diffusion?
The particles (molecules) move
down a concentration gradient from
high concentration to low
concentration.
This happens because as molecules
bump into each other, they are
forced to spread out to where there
aren’t as many molecules to bump
into.
42. Diffusion Through a Membrane
If
certain molecules encounter
membranes with pores, what can
happen?
43. Diffusion Through a Membrane
If
certain molecules encounter
membranes with pores, what can
If the molecules (particles) are small
happen?
enough, they will pass through the
pores in the membrane.
If they are too big, they cannot pass
through the pore.

for the presence of
STARCH. Color changes

BENEDICT’S

for GLUCOSE. After
heating, it turns
orange if glucose is
present.
48. Diffusion Through a Membrane

used test tubes with just water
and Benedict’s and another with just
water and iodine. Why?
49. Diffusion Through a Membrane
We
used test tubes with just water
and Benedict’s and another with just
water and iodine. Why?
These two test tubes
served as negative
controls. This showed us
what a negative test
would look like.
50. Diffusion Through a Membrane
We
also used test tubes with iodine
and starch, and another with
Bendict’s and glucose. Why?
51. Diffusion Through a Membrane
We
also used test tubes with iodine
and starch, and another with
Bendict’s and glucose. Why?
These two test tubes
served as positive
controls. They showed
us what a positive test
for starch and glucose
looked like.
53. Diffusion Through a Membrane
What
will happen in this experiment,
The iodine is small
and why?
enough to fit through
the membrane. It
diffuses into the “cell”
and turns the starch
inside a blue/black
color. The starch is
too large to diffuse
through the selectively
permeable membrane,
so it cannot diffuse out
into the surrounding
solution.
54. Diffusion Through a Membrane
Glucose
is in the cell below. What
will happen, and how do you know?
55. Diffusion Through a Membrane
Glucose
is in the cell below. What
will happen, and how do you know?
When we test the outside
solution for glucose using
Benedict’s (after heating it), the
solution turns orange. This
indicates that the glucose
diffused out of the cell into the
surrounding solution. The
glucose was small enough to fit
through the selectively
permeable membrane.

– The water molecules move from an
area of high concentration of water

solute).

63. Diffusion Through a Membrane
What
is happening here?
When salt water is placed on cells,
the water diffuses out of the cells’
cytoplasm into the salt solution.
(Water moves from a higher
concentration – inside the cell – to
a lower concentration – outside
the cell.)
If fresh water is placed on the
cells again, the water will flow
back into the cells (high to low
concentration).
64. Diffusion Through a Membrane
Why
didn’t the cell walls shrink with
the cytoplasm?
65. Diffusion Through a Membrane
Why
didn’t the cell walls shrink with
the cytoplasm?
– Cell walls are rigid – they provide
support for plant cells.
66. Diffusion Through a Membrane
Does
this organism live in fresh
water or salt water? Explain how
you can tell.
67. Diffusion Through a Membrane
Does
this organism live in fresh
water or salt water? Explain how
you can tell. Fresh water: The organism contains a
contractile vacuole. Contractile
vacuoles serve to pump out excess
water from the interior of the cell.
If the organism needs to pump out
water, it must have a lower
concentration of water on its inside
than outside (water keeps diffusing
into it). This means that the water
outside has fewer solutes. The water
must be fresh.

Making

data and conclusions
Designing a controlled
experiment
70. Making Connections
Why
is it more accurate to take two
or three pulse readings and average
them?
Cancel
out errors
The data may vary – this makes
it more reliable
72. Making Connections
Why
were the class results averaged
and used?
More trials means more accurate
data
More subjects means more
accurate data, too.
79. Making Connections
Why does muscle fatigue happen?
The
more the muscle is used, the more
waste products are produced. If the
blood isn’t circulating fast enough to
carry away the wastes, they build up.
As a result, the heart pumps faster and
breathing increases to circulate the
wastes out to the lungs faster. (This
also brings O2 and glucose to the cells
faster to be used for making ATP.)
