1. Happy Friday!!! Go Panthers! September 5, 2014

2. Today’s Objective and Agenda Obj: BTEC.SWBAT: Master the CER; have a good understanding of “What is Life” (living/nonliving) by reading and analyzing the Characteristics of Life. Agenda: – Go over conclusions and CER – Correct Ad Test – Start What is Life – Reading

3. Three Parts to a Conclusion CLAIM A statement about the solution to a problem A response to a question An answer to a problem EVIDENCE Relevant data or facts that supports the claim Observations that support the claim REASONING Describes the scientific reason why it happened

4. ContainerTemperature Air28.2 Celsius Carbon Dioxide32.4 Celsius Yes, it does. You can see in my data table that the temperatures are different. Does Carbon Dioxide contribute to global warming?

5. Carbon Dioxide contributes to global warming. The container with the air has a lower temperature than the container with carbon dioxide. So, you can see that it does contribute. Does Carbon Dioxide contribute to global warming? ContainerTemperature Air28.2 Celsius Carbon Dioxide32.4 Celsius

6. Does Carbon Dioxide contribute to global warming? ContainerTemperature Air28.2 Celsius Carbon Dioxide32.4 Celsius Carbon dioxide does contribute to global warming. The temperature in the container with air is 28.2 degrees Celsius and the temperature in the container with Carbon Dioxide is 32.4 degrees Celsius. The container with Carbon Dioxide is 4.2 degrees higher than air. Carbon dioxide is a warmer gas than regular air, so that is why this occurs.

7. ContainerTemperature Air28.2 Celsius Carbon Dioxide32.4 Celsius Carbon dioxide does contribute to global warming. The temperature in the container with air is 28.2 degrees Celsius and the temperature in the container with Carbon Dioxide is 32.4 degrees Celsius. The container with Carbon Dioxide is 4.2 degrees higher than air. When the heat from the sun hits the earth, it is reflected back into the atmosphere. Carbon Dioxide traps this heat from escaping into space, therefore increasing the temperature of Earth. Does Carbon Dioxide contribute to global warming?

8. Which event was most likely the cause of the changes in species diversity in this ecosystem? Write a conclusion using the CER format to answer the above question. HINT: WHY??

9. In your notebook, write & answer this question: What does it mean to be alive? We will define the seven characteristics of life.

10. How to “mark the text” 1.# the paragraphs 2. Circle vocabulary 3. Highlight definitions 4. Underline facts

11. Photo by Theuerkauf Write a paragraph that describes the commonalties of all these things making sure to explain WHY they have those things in common. Be specific and provide examples.
