Dear Biology 11s, I will be away today and hope to be back tomorrow to do our open book test on disease outbreaks. Meanwhile, I will ask that you finish a teams assignment on Roundworms (in the thread below). There are actual preserved specimens that accompany this activity in the locked cabinet at the back of the class. I will take these out to show you next day!
1. Create a venn diagram which compares and contrasts platyhelminthes and nematoda. Use the vocab from the nematoda presentation. Make it in pen and in colour. Draw your favourite parasite and tell me why it is your favourite. (5 marks)
2. Write a one page summary of the video and the interview in pen. (5 marks)
3.Draw a pamphlet which educates people on how to avoid the Guinea worm in colour. (10 marks)
PARASITIC WORMS ASSIGNMENT:
Several Children in Vancouver were sent to your clinic with the following symptoms: In each case:
Examine the specimen and attempt to identify the organism. What phylum of parasitic worm do you think this is? Furthermore, give evidence for your diagnosis and offer a course of action to cure the patient and prevent further infestation: Also, devise a method to contain any possibility of outbreak.
Kitty Pride is a young woman who lives in a mansion in Southlands in a special School for gifted youth. She was experiencing abdominal symptoms of bloating and cramping, and enteritis in general. She also noticed that she has been feeling unusually anemic, lately. Blood work indicates an elevated white cell count. Sample C was found in her stool sample
Walt Chan is a two year old boy, with two sisters and a pit bull . He is an active toddler who likes to play in the outdoors. Walt has recently developed enteritis of unknown origin. His symptoms included bloating, cramping (which made him cry at night) and mild “car sickness” symptoms. When Walt went in for blood tests, his white blood cell count was found to be elevated, particularly his eosinophils. Furthermore, a stool sample yielded the specimen A.
Vince Man is a two year old boy who lives in Kerrisdale. Vince is an active toddler who loves to play in the outdoors. He lives with his parents but is cared for by his grandmother who loves to cook traditional northern Chinese food for him. Vince goes to a daycare part time where he plays with other children ranging from age 1-3. Vince began getting unusual enteritis with an elevated white blood cell count. His grandma was horrified one day to find sample Z in his stool.
Sebastien Slartibartfast is a two year old boy who lives in Kerrisdale. Sebastien has been complaining of an itchy bum for several weeks. His scratching is beginning to damage his skin and rectum.He is an only child with many pets: a hamster, a cat and two zebra finches. Sebastien also attends a daycare that admits children ages 0 to 3. Sample E (sample D) was found in Sebastien’s stool sample. Sebastien’s Dad has noticed that he has similar symptoms as Sebastien. (itchiness). Sample B was found in his stool.
Another view of sample C is here the ruler is in cm

ASSIGNMENT 3 Choice A: Write a script of a reality TV show. What does a Cnidaria do all day? There are three main Cnidarians: Hydrozoa, Scyphozoa and Anthozoa. Interview one example of each type of Cnidarian like you would for a crazy reality TV show script. Include the major points in the Cnidaria notes and Cnidaria intro video. Come up with a really really good title that'll make someone want to watch your show!
Choice B: HOCKEY CARD ASSIGNMENT: Imagine that a class of Cnidaria is like a hockey team. Create three hockey cards each representing one team member : one hydrozoan, one scyphozoan and one anthozoan. write the stats on your three cnidaria and a picture. You may draw the cnidarian or upload a pic. Use all the key words and major points from the Cnidaria notes and Cnidaria intro video.
Assignment criteria 20 - your project really stands out for excellence 18-19 - your project includes the details in the Intro video, these notes and these slides. It is creative and shows that thought was put into the final product. It is well put together (if it is a drawing, it is in ink and colour). If it is writing, it is well written
15-17. This is a really great concept and you include most of the details on Cnidarians in the notes and slides. You do very impressive work. If it is a drawing, it is well done, but not in ink or colour. If it is written, there are minor spelling and grammatical errors but it is still very engaging to read
11-13. This is a great start to a great project. It includes the main points but maybe it is not covered in depth. You probably should have spent a little more time on this before handing it in.
5-10. This project is a good start but it was incomplete.
This video gives an evolutionary context for Cnidaria. Cnidaria were the first animal to develop a mouth, stomach, muscles and nerves. They also developed the ability to stun prey. Further, they developed the ability to swim. USING THE KEY IDEAS AND Key words in the video, create an ANALOGY of a cnidarian. Choice A: You can write your analogy in form of a one page scary story, or a one page children's story or fairy tale
Choice B: Or you can draw your analogy and explain how your cnidarian is kind of like a...something...

Create a hypothesis about what area of the school will yield the fastest growing bacteria and the most number of colonies.
PROCEDURE:
Use agar plates and q-tips to sample different surfaces around our school. Store the plates UPSIDEDOWN in a secure location in the classroom. Note where you found the sample
OBSERVATION Next, create a data table showing in the following columns
1. names 2. a. location of sample 2.b. is this a high traffic location for human contact? 2c. is this a dry, sticky, wet, warm, cold location, or don't know?
GROW THE BACTERIA
3.a count the number of colonies 3b. and their relative size of colonies (estimate size of each dot or circle diameter based on petri dish size 4. colour of colonies 5. Any mold sample?
Note that a nil result tells you something too!
ANALYSIS 1. Tell me some patterns that you are noticing in the collection of these samples. 2. Which locations are yielding the most samples. 3.Why might some samples yield more bacteria or faster growing bacteria? 4. What are some limitations of this study and some sources of experimental error?
CONCLUSION Write a well reasoned conclusion based on your observations.

This is an Introduction to Microbiology Notes, which cover Virus, and Monerans, with a mention of unicellular fungi. Read this document as an overview.
A virus that uses the lysogenic life cycle is termed either a provirus or prophage. What causes various proviruses to shift to the lytic cycle is not completely understood, but in some cases stress is the stimulus.
COVID-19 is a virus that undergoes a lytic cycle, but it does not explode cells, instead, it simply gets released from a cell
