Procedures and Scientific Inquiry Ms. Klinkhachorn September 14, 2010 Biology

DNA – September 14, What should you do if you missed school on a non-test day? 2.What should you do if you come to class tardy, even if it was because you were in the clinic? 3.Describe the proper way to complete your DNA.

If You Have A Question Raise your hand and wait for me to call on you or come to you. Be patient! Do not shout out to get my attention. There is only 1 of me and 28 of you. I do my best to help everyone. If you see that I am busy, you may ask someone next to you quietly. Do NOT get up to do this.

Answering Questions Raise your hand and wait to be called on. Do NOT shout out answers. If I call on you (even if you didn’t raise your hand), you MUST answer the question. – There is a NO OPT OUT policy. Pay attention. This will affect your grade. – I will make sure that you can answer the question even if that means I ask somebody else for the answer and you repeat it.

What Can We Do? Set goals for ourselves and work hard to reach them! – Ambitious, but feasible Class BIG Goals: – 80% Content Mastery – 80% Lab Skills Mastery – 3 Pts Growth on the ACT

Last Year… 2 classes hit over 80% content mastery, while the other 3 classes were in the high 70s All classes reached 80% lab skills mastery!! We averaged 2.6 points of growth on the ACT – 1 student went up by 8 points! How do you think those students were able to accomplish this?

On The Back of Your DNA Paper Tell me: – 2 individual big goals for yourself – How you plan to accomplish these goals Be specific

What is Scientific Inquiry? SI is a process by which we conduct an investigation in order to obtain knowledge – Always starts with a question derived from observation of the world

Why Study Scientific Inquiry? Scientific inquiry helps us develop many skills: – Observing – Inferring – Predicting – Classifying – Measuring – Interpreting – Analyzing

Why Study Scientific Inquiry? Inquiry skills combined with critical thinking and current scientific knowledge help us discover new scientific knowledge – This is how we know more and more about our surroundings as time goes on – Start with a question, run an investigation, make conclusions Question based on experience Research methods based on that question

General Steps of Scientific Inquiry 1.Purpose Question 2.Research Questions/Background Information 3.Hypothesis 4.Materials 5.Procedures 6.Data 7.Analysis 8.Conclusion

On Your Handout Work in groups Describe the 8 steps of Scientific Inquiry in as much detail as you can
