The Search for Solution	Merriam-Webster Dictionary McGraw Hill Learning Center Kimball's Pages Movies, Animations and Interactive Tutorial Links Chapter 1 & 2 Objectives Reading your text is the basis of all instruction in 10 Biology. You must SQ4R your text before the classroom activities and web site links are used. The text represents the baseline data necessary for your understanding. The reading must be done, no exceptions. Your instructor expects it to be done and will take it for granted that you have completed this aspect of the learning process each time a new section is begun. Failing to meet this expectation will clearly affect your grade in this course. -Always use your Chapter Objectives as your directive to the homework. Keep a copy on the desktop, or a hardcopy, and fill in the information needed to meet the objective. -Using the SQ4R method, read Chapter 1 in the text. Do the reading and study exactly as it is described in the SQ4R procedure. Do not cheat on this you're only hurting yourself! -After reading the Chapter, and answering what you can of your objectives, complete the homework assignments listed below. Copy and past a copy of your objectives into your word processor. Cut and paste text, and graphics, from the online activities to make yourself a document that you can use in your study group. Ask questions in class about any of the Objectives that you could not answer. You must take responsibility for being as prepared for the exam as you can possibly be. I will help where I can, but I can't do much if I don't know what your problems are. You must study until you are capable of determining if you need help. Get a study group together Being able to ask questions and recite with other students can make all of the difference in your mastery of the material. A group that can meet face-to-face is the best situation, but if that can't be arranged, then using phone discussion or e-mail. Get your Study Group members together and determine your way of communicating so that on the night before the night before the exam you RECITE orally, or write, the answers to the objectives with the group, not using your notes. This will be the final confirmation that you know the material and are ready to take the examination. If you are still not ready for the exam, at least you have one more day to prepare. Follow this procedure with each of the Chapters assigned. The next activity requires Shockwave Plug-in 1. Use the links below and read about the nature of resposible thinking: * Responsible Thinking vs. Critical Thinking * The nature of truth * Common causes of false beliefs * Telling truth vs. seeking truth 2. Use the links below and read about Science and its methods: Science * What's wrong with science * Experiments * Controls * Blinding * Double blinding * Statistical significance * Experimental report * Replication 3. Go to Kimball's Pages and read the Scientific Method and Scientific Papers 4. Click on Scientific Method: Observation, Data, Hypothesis, Experimental Design and Testing. Do the interesting exercise beginning with Galileo and ending with life on Mars. 5. Professor Blamire of Brooklyn College in New York has created an e-text book that he uses to teach a Core Biology Course. The book has a few typing errors, but is an excelent resource to supplement your text. Read the following sections to help reinforce your understanding of Chapter 1: Signs of Life * What are we looking for? * Introduction * Response to stimuli * Growth and Reproduction * Heredity * Adaptation * Homeostasis * Utilization of energy * Complexity 6. Food Chains and Webs a. A simple description of a food chain b. More simple chains c. Food Chains and Webs with a Build-a-Food-Web Activity d. The Antarctic Food Web 7. There is a reading from Michael Gross' book Life on the Edge that I want you to do. Gross is an exceptional writer, and scientist, who has concisely described life and its components. This is extremely important for you to understand. Read it carefully. Click on Michael Gross . This will get you to his homepage where you will see the covers of his three books. Click on the cover of Life on the Edge . This will take you to a page that examines the components of the book. Click on the Table of Contents text link. Under the Table of Contents heading you will see Chapter number 1 has four sections. Click on the Introduction:Life and Its Limits. Read the the entire page which includes the other sections listed under the Introduction .
