Do Now: Start a game of silent ball and see if you can stay silent as people come in the room wondering what is going on.
Goals today: Understand what makes a convincing scientific explanation, analyze observational data of lion movements. LuLu the Lioness story continues... 1) Reflect on the Claim, Evidence, Reasoning we wrote on Wednesday. Reflect and Give yourself a score for Habit of Professionalism on your tracker. 2) Analyze Geographical Observational Data and re-examine your hypothesis. 3) Conduct Internet research to help us better understand lion relationships. This will help us in determining who the parents of the cubs are and why it matters. Ticket out - Complete research and your final explanation of how this information either supports or made you rethink your hypothesis.

Do Now: Please find your folder and pull out your sheet from yesterday. Be ready to share in a class discussion.
Goal: Analyze field observations and laboratory genetic data to determine parentage of lions in the wild. How: Paper copy of all of the data and guiding questions for the Lulu the Lioness Lab. 1. Take 15-20 minutes to read and make notes on your paper copy of Data Set 1: Behavioral Observation Data. 2. Collaborate with your group to answer the making Sense questions and form hypotheses about the mother and father for the given cubs. 3. Work with group to use Data Set 2: Geographical Observation Data, to map where each lion lives and has travelled between prides. 4. Use this and the other data to revise or confirm your previous hypotheses and lion cub parentage. SHARE out in class discussion. 5. RESEARCH: African Lion - This will be home learning if we do not complete this in class! Begin and complete as much research as possible for the pages 112 and 113 in your handout. The more you can collaborate in your groups before the end of the hour, the more you won't have to do at home. Ticket out: What is one question you wonder about regarding the animals or plants in South Africa? LuLu the Lioness Data Set 1
1. Individually read through the professional field notes from Data Set 1: Behavioral Observation Data (paper packet). 2. Come together in your group and work on the making sense questions as a way to generate your own hypothesis about which lions are the parents of the cubs. 3. Class discussion and share out of ideas with explanations based on the evidence for your ideas. Work on completing the "Life as a Hunter" lesson.
Do Now: At your table, discuss this question and be ready to share: "Humans can only survive on this planet if we work together in communities."
Learning Goals: Science Practice: Ask scientific questions, Crosscutting Concept: Cause and Effect, HS LS2-8 - Group behavior and survival 1. Rewatch the Kruger Video while making observations about the species and interactions. 2. Discuss with your group members how these species are similar and different in physical and behavioral traits. 3. Compare and contrast the species using a Venn diagram that illustrates these similarities and differences. - On paper in class. Link to a completed diagram coming soon. 4. Reflection Do Now: Please find your seat for your lab grouping today.
Learning goals: Science Practice: Ask scientific questions, Crosscutting Concept: Cause and Effect, HS LS2-8 - Group behavior and survival 1. Write individual questions as we watch a video of species interacting in Africa. 2. Share questions with a group and determine if questions are open-ended or closed-ended. Change closed to open and prioritize them. 3. Share most important questions and add them to our Driving Question Board (DQB). 4. Categorize the questions. Tomorrow: Continue with observations of the interactions between species and compare and contrast species. |
