Honors Biology Research Project
The V.I.A to higher learning!
Video. Interview. Article
Notes due DEC. 19th
Project DUE JAN 6th
Here is your task:
STEP ONE:
Find a TED talk/ topic that you are interested in.
Watch the TED talk, take notes, determine what aspect you are going to further research.
Step TWO: journal link
Find a scholarly scientific article on the topic you are going to research.
READ the article, look up things you don't know, take notes on the aspects that are the central focus and that support the research.
Step THREE:
Find an interview with a person doing research on this topic. Listen to or Read the interview, take notes on aspects that further support your understanding of the topic.
STEP FOUR: Putting it all together
You have two choices; you can create a WeVideo link to teach us about your research topic OR you can create a mind map link to teach us about your research topic.
IF YOU ARE DOING THE WEVIDEO, YOU NEED TO PUT YOUR WEVIDEO IN MY DROP BOX ACCOUNT. https://www.dropbox.com/home

You will have to denote where every bit of your information came from by placing a V, I or A near the statements. You MUST put the material in your own words; if adding a quote, you must be sure to show that it is a quote.
GRADING: this will be worth a test grade, classwork grade and quiz grade!
RESOURCES: your resources must be linked to (video) or listed (mind map) on your product. They must be from reliable scientific sources. Your articles must be from the site have linked above!
BE CURIOUS AND WELL INFORMED: Your presentation should represent that you have done serious research on a topic of your choice. Your information should be comprehensive and have a good representation from each of your sources.
TAKE GOOD NOTES: Your notes should be a good summary/ explanation of what you have read, heard and seen in or from your resources. YOUR NOTES ARE A PART OF YOUR GRADE AND WILL BE COLLECTED!
BE CREATIVE it matters. Your delivery of the material must be interesting and coherent. We should be able to see how the information is connected. You must identify where each piece of information came from!
BE Grammatically correct! There is no reason for misspelled words and/ or bad grammar. Even if you are drawing a mind map (where everything HAS TO BE handwritten) you can double check your information by typing it up in a document first to make sure it's logical and correct!

Honors Biology:
Bring ear buds tomorrow
Window panes on ecology are due tomorrow (Thursday) Terms are copied for you below!
Quiz on 4 white sheet boxes on Friday
Videos need to be completed by Monday
Honors Biology: Have all done by Monday!
Watch these and take notes:

Biology Window Pane Terms:
1. Photosynthesis- the process of making food (glucose) using sunlight.
2. Autotrophs- organisms that make their own food using photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.
3. Heterotrophs- organisms that have to consume other organisms to obtain the energy they need to survive.
4. Consumers- organisms that have to eat other organisms
5. Producers- organisms that make food for other organisms
6. Individual- one member (organism) of a particular species.
7. Population- all of the members of a particular species
8. Community- all of the different types of living organisms in a given area
9. Ecosystem- all of the living and non-living things in a given area
10. Omnivore- organism that eats plants and animals for its energy needs
11. Herbivore- organism that only eats plants for its energy needs
12. Carnivore-organism that only eats animals for its energy needs
13. Detritivore- organism that eats dead things for its energy needs
14. Decomposer- organism that breaks organic matter down into its basic elements.
15. Biomass- the weight of organic matter in a given area.
16. Abiotic factors- non-living things that exist and play a role in an organism's environment.
17. Biotic factors- living things in the environment
18. Symbiosis- a close relationship between two organisms
19. Limiting factors- anything that contributes to the survival and reproduction of an organism, therefore if there is not enough of it, the population will decrease. (water, food, habitat are examples)
20. Carrying capacity- the maximum amount of organisms that can live in an area. (note: this is usually determined by the limiting factors in an environment)

Honors biology and APES homework
HONORS BIOLOGY
If you were out today for any reason you will need to copy someone's notes for the "Organic Compounds" box we completed in class today (4th block)
Tomorrow you will have a group quiz on the Evolution Box and the Mitosis and Meiosis Box.
Tonight your homework is to go to this site and click to play the video in the main frame of the screen (on evolution)
http://www.khswaveriders.org/apps/video/watch.jsp?v=29204
Project to be assigned: you will be completing a project on specific science topic- if you find one ahead of time (before Friday) and it doesn't duplicate someone else's choice then you get to have some say in what you research.
You need to find a TED talk on a branch of science that you find interesting. The "Talk" must be over 12 minutes. This is how you will choose your topic. Write down The name of the TED talk and the speaker and bring it to me Friday! If you don't have one chosen already, I will pick one for you. You will get more information about the project on Friday!
Start Looking:

APES: watch this :)
