The document provides instructions for creating a K-W-L chart to help plan a research report about a chosen animal topic. Students are directed to write the topic at the top, list what they already Know and what they Want to Know, and identify information sources they can use for research. As they conduct research, they will write what they Learned in the final column. The K-W-L chart is meant to help students organize their research and writing for their report.
Repositories for Scientific Data: An #animalgarden show (Pecha Kucha) - Peter...Repository Fringe
Peter Murray-Rust's Pecha Kucha presentation "Repositories for Scientific Data: An #animalgarden show" which was delivered on Friday 2nd August 2013 at the Repository Fringe 2013.
Presentation for the San Francisco #IDCC14 conference (http://www.dcc.ac.uk/events/idcc14/day-two-papers). The presentation covers publishing zooarchaeology data with Open Context (http://opencontext.org) to study the spread of farming from the Near East to Europe through Anatolia. It looks at editorial processes, linked data annotation, and other workflow concerns relating to making raw data more usable for comparative analysis.
Yes, the topic may be (and probably is) complex. But that doesn't mean the writing can't be clear, simple, easy to understand, and impossible to misunderstand. And concise. Watson and Crick won a Nobel prize for DNA. Their report was under 900 words. How long is yours?

1. Properties of LifeBriefly describe each of the nine properti.docxSONU61709
1. Properties of Life
Briefly describe each of the nine properties of life and discuss how things like a virus, prion, and viroid can reproduce, but are not considered to be alive. Address the question: how can things like these that are not considered to be alive “evolve”?
Your assignment should be 250-500 words in length.
2. Written Assignment: Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic Cells
Introduction you to the living cell. Compare and contrast eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
Your assignment should be 250-500 words in length.
3. Genetic Counseling
Explain Tay-Sachs disease. Imagine you are a genetic counselor working with a couple who have just had a child who is suffering from Tay-Sachs disease. Neither parent has been tested for Tay-Sachs disease nor have there been any previous cases of Tay-Sachs in either family. Explain Tay-Sachs disease and provide a discussion of the information you would share with the couple about Tay-Sachs and possible implications for future children.
Your assignment should be 250-500 words in length.
· 4. DNA and RNA
Compare and contrast DNA and RNA. Discuss why humans did not evolve with one central repository of DNA, but rather it is replicated throughout the body?
Your assignment should be 250-500 words in length.
5. Genetic Drift and the Founder Effect
There are two types of genetic drift. Describe and give an example of both the bottle neck effect and the founder effect.
Your assignment should be 250-500 words in length.
6. Similarities and Differences
Discuss the similarities and differences between organisms in the domains Bacteria and Archaea.
Your assignment should be 250-500 words in length.
7. Phylum Arthropoda
The Earth’s largest phylum is Arthropoda, including centipedes, millipedes, crustaceans, and insects. The insects have shown to be a particularly successful class within the phylum. What biological characteristics have contributed to the success of insects? In many science fiction scenarios, post-apocalyptic Earth is mainly populated with giant insects. Why don’t we see giant insects today?
Your assignment should be 250-500 words in length.
8. Final Paper – Pick one topic below:
You will be required to do a term paper on one of the topics listed below.
a. Discuss how the unique physical and chemical properties of water contribute to the importance of water for life on Earth to survive.
b. Discuss how the methods of experimentation and observation have changed throughout the history of science.
c. Explain the role so called “accidental” discoveries played in the history of science.
d. Describe the major experiments and scientists involved in the discovery of DNA as our hereditary material and its structure.
e. Explain what role women played in the Scientific Revolution of the 18th Century? What role do women in science play today?
Your paper should be creative and interesting, and should be a minimum 1500 to 2000 words in length. It should be well-organized and demonstrate an ...

Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
