1. Yr 8 APP – AF3c Whales and Sonar Imagine that you work for the Navy and you have to respond to the conservation groups claims. Write a report using the evidence to decide if military sonar does cause the death of sea mammals. Imagine that you work for the Navy and you have to respond to the conservation groups claims. Write a report using the evidence to decide if military sonar does cause the death of sea mammals. AIM Select and present data from secondary source information. Make a conclusion based on scientific evidence, using evidence critically.

2. Jobs in Science Compare the scientists jobs. How are they the same? How are they different? Natural History Museum Cetacean Curator Qualified in zoology. Specialises in whales and dolphins. Is able to classify species and knows about their anatomy and physiology. Whale and Dolphin Conservationist Qualified in conservation. Specialises in whales or dolphins. Collects data to monitor cetacean populations. Lobbies governments to protect dolphins and whales. Military Sonar Researcher Qualified in sound technology. Does experiments with sound to detect enemy submarines. Work is often secret. Submarine commander Uses sonar in defence. Works as a team within the Navy. Protects and defends the waters.

3. Jobs in Physics Pure Physics No Physics Some Physics Discuss and decide how much physics the following jobs in science may use. Place them on the appropriate place on the funnel. A.Naval Sonar Researcher Researches how sonar can be used to detect enemy submarines. B. Cetacean museum curator Researches and classifies whales and dolphins. Finds out how they communicate. C.
