This is the second of a two part lesson on the scientific method. The earlier lesson was all about variables and this one focuses more on the procedures of the scientific method, at about the 5th and 6th grade level.
Credit for this goes to Ed Chang. I've edited and modified, but the song is his idea (I beleive). Anyway... clever way to remember scientific method and a song for remembering it.

DNA is a fantastic molecule. Its storage capacity outpaces today's best technology by lightyears. Show your students how it compares to computers today, teach your students its structure and how it replicates, and enjoy some fun facts along the way. Also, pause to ask yourself "How did DNA become like this?" Another great question to ask is "How do you get DNA without first having DNA?" This is a chicken or egg problem par excellence!
BT corn, insulin - scientists have harnessed DNA from bacteria and humans to make new organisms and products. This is a good slideshow presentation for middle school and high school.
Science is knowledge through observation and experimentation. It is facts of principles gained by systematic study. In order to participate in doing science, we must adhere to a "philosophy of science:" There is order to the universe, humans are able to comprehend this order, and scientists should be able to repeat experiments. There are two major kinds of science - empirical science and forensic science. However, science can't answer a lot of questions, and scientists often make mistakes.
Notes adapted from www.genome.gov for middle school or high school students. Life Science, biology, genetic engineering, cloning. Describes how Dolly the Sheep was cloned.
I made this slideshow for my honors 7th grade Life Science class. It's a work in progress. It's heavy on angiosperms, but needs more information about gymnosperms and seedless plants. 7th grade, anther, biology, cones, egg, fertilization, gymnosperm, life science, ovules, pistil, plant reproduction - angiosperms, pollen dispersal, pollen grain, pollen tube, pollination, science, stamen, stigma, style
prokaryotes vs eukaryotes, animal vs plant, cell organelles and their function (with detailed diagrams), protein synthesis and export. Great for honors middle school 7th grade, or 9th grade biology, life science
Mythbusters did a classic experiment - they tested the crazy idea that if you play music or voice recording to plants that they would grow bigger. This short slideshow breaks down the episode into the various steps of the scientific method.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
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.

3. The Scientific Method
A series of steps used to
answer questions and solve
problems.
Are roses beautiful? (Sorry, science can’t answer a
question like this)
Will roses grow in zero gravity? (Yes! science can
help us with this question – and personally – I would
like to be the one to test it!)
4. The steps to the scientific method
1. Ask a question
2. Gather information (What you already know)
3. Form a hypothesis (Educated guess)
4. Test the hypothesis (Experiment)
5. Analyze the results (Study data, graph)
6. Form a conclusion (Was hypothesis correct?)
7. Communicate results (Publish your findings)
5. Ask a Question
The question should identify
something you do not already know
and want to find out.
The question is usually asked after you
have made a lot of observations.
An observation is any use of the senses
to gather information.
6. Form a Hypothesis
A hypothesis is a possible explanation
or answer to a question.
Scientists use observations they have
already made to form a hypothesis.
A hypothesis is stated in “If … then”
format.
7. Test the Hypothesis
After you have formed your hypothesis you
must test to see whether it is a reasonable
answer to your question.
One way to test a hypothesis is through a
controlled experiment.
In a controlled experiment, there is a control
group and a experimental group. The two
groups are the same except for one variable.
8. Analyze the Results
You must analyze your data and other
observations you have made to see
whether your test(s) support your
hypothesis.
Sometimes this step requires doing
calculations, and making tables or
graphs.
9. Draw Conclusions
After analyzing your results you can
conclude:
– Your results supported your hypothesis
– Your results did not support your hypothesis
– You need more information
In order to draw conclusions you may need
to perform more tests or modify your
hypothesis.
10. Communicate Results
Telling others what you have learned
You may do this by writing a scientific
paper, making a presentation, or
creating a Web site.
