1. Apply inquiry-based and problem-solving processes and skills to scientific investigations. a. Use current technologies such as CD-ROM, DVD, Internet, and on-line data search to explore current research related to a specific topic. b. Clarify research questions and design laboratory investigations. c. Demonstrate the use of scientific inquiry and methods to formulate, conduct, and evaluate laboratory investigations (e.g., hypotheses, experimental design, observations, data analyses, interpretations, theory development). d. Organize data to construct graphs (e.g., plotting points, labeling x-and y-axis, creating appropriate titles and legends for circle, bar, and line graphs), draw conclusions, and make inferences. e. Evaluate procedures, data, and conclusions to critique the scientific validity of research. f. Formulate and revise scientific explanations and models using logic and evidence (data analysis). Greenville Public School District Recommended Genetics Curriculum MAP 2015-2016 What are the components of a well- designed experiment? What are the real world applications of laboratory equipment and their effective use? Observation/ Inference Questioning Hypothesizing Experimenting Collecting & analyzing data Drawing conclusions Measuring Constructing and interpreting graphs Strategy 1: Prior to introducing lab equipment, have s complete a lab scavenger hunt. Display equipment around the room labeled with the names of each piece of lab equipment. Develop clues and distribute to s. Students should match clues to the appropriate piece of lab equipment. All clues should be answered and all pieces of lab equipment found. Ex. I can heat up chemicals with a single flame (Answer: Bunsen burner) Allow s to confirm one another s answers. Strategy 2: Assign s a particular safety symbol to research using the textbook, internet, and other available resources. Have each draw their symbol, write a brief explanation, and teach the symbol and what it means to the class. Set up stations with a specific amount of colored water (for easy visibility) in graduated cylinders, certain objects (blocks, lengths of twine, etc.) to be measured with rulers, balances to measure mass of objects and Rigorous laboratory experiments Mobi USATestprep.com Discovery A+.
