Scavenger Hunt: Exploring Biology Concepts with Gizmos, Lecture notes of Physics

EcologyGeneticsEvolutionCell Biology

A scavenger hunt assignment for students using various educational gizmos to explore different biology concepts. Topics include controlled experiments, cell structure, photosynthesis, human evolution, genetics, and ecosystems. Students are required to identify hypotheses, independent/dependent variables, structures, and evidence to support their answers.

What you will learn

  • What factors affect the finch populations in the Rainfall and Bird Beaks Gizmo?
  • How do animal and plant cells differ in structure?
  • Which human impacts have a greater effect on the sustainability of the coral reef ecosystem?
  • What structures are most important to photosynthesis in plant cells?

Name ________________________________ Teacher___________________________ Period ______________________ Make sure you are signed into your Gizmos account given to you by your teacher. You can use screenshots and text to fill in your answers for the Scavenger Hunt! Points Question or puzzle to solve Answers can be a combo of text and screenshots 10pts (SC.912.N.1.1) Create a controlled experiment using one of the following Gizmos (Growing Plants, Coral Reefs Gizmo , Food Chain Gizmo , Conduction & Convection Gizmo , Force & Fan Carts Gizmo , Fan Cart Physics Gizmo , Sled Wars Gizmo , Phase Changes Gizmo , Rabbit Population by Season Gizmo , Germination Gizmo , Forest Ecosystem Gizmo , Photosynthesis Lab Gizmo , Roller Coaster Physics Gizmo) . Identify your Question, Hypothesis, Independent/Dependent Variable, Results and Conclusion. 5pts (SC.912.L.14.3) Go to the Cell Structure Gizmo and explore a plant and animal cell. What are the major differences between animal and plant cells? Take screenshots or draw pictures of a plant and animal cell and list the structures that are different. Explain why these structures are needed in one type of cell and not the other. 10pts (SC.912.L.14.7) Use the Cell Structure Gizmo, Photosynthesis Lab Gizmo, and Cell Energy Cycle Gizmo to explore how plants create energy within their tissues. What 3 structures are most important to photosynthesis? Support your answer with evidence from the Gizmo (screenshot or text) Use the Pollination: Flower to Fruit Gizmo to explore how plants use their tissues for reproduction. What 4 structures are most important to reproduction? Support your answer with evidence from the Gizmo (screenshot or text) 10pts (SC.912.L.15.1) Explore the Human Evolution Gizmo and pick one piece of evidence from fossils for human evolution. Take at least 3 screenshots or draw pictures and give explanations. 5pts (SC.912.L.15.13) Adjust the amount of rainfall in the Rainfall and Bird Beaks Gizmo. Take screenshots showing the depth of bird beaks and finch populations under dry conditions and under above average rainfall conditions. Explain any differences observed and why these differences exist. 5pts (SC.912.L.16.1 (Part 1)) Using the Mouse Genetics (Two Traits) Gizmo, describe how it it possible for two parents that have black eyes and black fur to have offspring that have white fur and red eyes. Use the screenshot tool to show how you achieved this outcome. Include an explanation for each step stating why you bred the mice the way you did.
