Goals for the week
- Investigate how salinity impacts the growth and survival of brine shrimp
- Discuss how cells respond to various levels of salt water
- Explain how cells maintain homeostasis in their environment
SEPs
- Asking questions and defining problems
- Developing and using models
- Planning and carrying out investigations
- Analyzing and interpreting data
- Using mathematical and computational reasoning
- Constructing explanations and designing solutions
- Engaging in argument from evidence
- Obtaining, evaluating and communicating information
Monday and Tuesday
Collect brine shrimp data - please be sure to use the spreadsheet AND place your data in the correct spot!
- Create a graph that reflects your data. Your graph should be created using google sheets. Please see the template in Google Classroom
- Using the spreadsheet as a template, answer the questions provided. Stop before you get to the reasoning!
Wednesday and Thursday
Explain the reasoning behind the brine shrimp data
- How do brine shrimp maintain homeostasis?
- How do cells maintain homeostasis
- How can some organisms live in high salinity whereas others cannot
- Words to use in your reasoning
- osmosis
- homeostasis
- high concentration
- low concentration
- salinity
Submit your data analysis (CER) using the template in Google Classroom by the end of the hour on Thursday
Friday
Rough draft of Mid-Term is due today!!
