Tutoring-Make up Your Biology and Environmental Science Outcomes!
I am available on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:15-4:30 in Room 206 for students to make up outcomes in order to complete the environmental science course. Here are some activities that I may have you complete in order for you to complete your outcomes.
Web Links
Use the following web links for content to help you as you prepare to earn your outcomes for environmental science.
Outcome #5 ( Student should be able to identify issues, evidence, and form opinions about current science articles.): See Ms. Adams for Real Science articles and/or use an article from the Science News Websites part of Links Section of the website. You must successfullly complete at least 2 real science articles.
Outcome #8 ( Student can describe energy transfers in the environment (through food chains and webs) and demonstrate the laws of thermodynamics.)
- Food Chains and Webs- Make sure to create a food web, view the Food Chains Movie, and complete the Food Chains MCQ Quiz in order to prepare you to complete the outcome. Make sure to have Ms. Adams check the Quiz.
- Rate of Cooling Experiment-When you are ready to complete this experiment, make sure you have at least one other student that needs this outcome to act as your lab partner. Make sure to get the lab set up in your notebook before requesting materials.
Outcome #9 ( Student can use scientific inquiry to solve problems. )
- Rate of Cooling Experiment-When you are ready to complete this experiment, make sure you have at least one other student that needs this outcome to act as your lab partner. Make sure to get the lab set up in your notebook before requesting materials.
Outcome #10 ( Student can compare and contrast the differences between more developed and less developed countries to determine sustainability.)
- Read "The World of Child 6 Billion" pamphlet provided by Ms. Adams and then make a table to compare and contrast the more developed and the less developed countries of the world.
- Then read one of the five sections of the UNFPA's State of the World Population 2006 Report online and add to your table based on what you learned.
- Finally, create a short presentation (using PowerPoint or make a poster to show the difference between more developed countries and less developed countries and sustainability.
Outcome #13 (Use statistical data to create, interpret, analyze, and make predictions using a variety of graphs.)
- Rate of Cooling Experiment-When you are ready to complete this experiment, make sure you have at least one other student that needs this outcome to act as your lab partner. Make sure to get the lab set up in your notebook before requesting materials. In order to complete this outcome, you must successfully complete the graphs and then interpret the graphs.
- Also see Ms. Adams for 2 more graphing activities in order to complete this outcome.
