Indoor air is full of flu and COVID viruses. Will countries clean it up?

The current pandemic has focused attention to the importance of healthy indoor air and could spur lasting improvements to the air we breathe.

FOSSIL LAB

We will go over these slides on GEOLOGICAL TIME

And this is some background info on how fossils are formed. please do this worksheet    using the link here for finding the answers. 

HERE IS A SECOND LINK

This is 10 marks

Geological Time Lab

USE THE DRAWING PAPER AND MAKE COLOUR AND INK DRAWINGS OF SPECIMENS

Station 1 . ROW 1 THREE drawings  

Draw TWO samples of SANDSTONE 

DRAW ONE SAMPLE OF SHALE

  Answer the following questions
1.  How is sandstone formed?  Explain how a fossil might be formed in Sandstone
2.  How is shale  formed?  Explain how a fossil can form in shale

Station 2.  Known Fossils  THREE DRAWINGS 
A.  COMPARATIVE TEACHING COLLECTION ROW 2
Photograph all  fossils summarize their descriptions 

MAKE ONE DRAWING which includes  one fossil and one modern day equivalent.   Label the drawings with the descriptions shown

B.  FOSSIL BOX and fossil bucket.  ROW 3   Identify 7 and MAKE TWO DRAWINGS

1. photograph  7 fossils from this box and identify them.

2. Make two drawings consisting of: 

a.  a careful drawing of ONE FOSSIL from the box.

b. a drawing of the actual organism that  it came from using an internet search.  

c.   Tell me what era it came from as well as its environmental conditions.  for example, if your fossil is a SHARK TOOTH, then the organism it comes from is a SHARK and it's environment is marine. So your drawing in section 2B b is a drawing of a shark in its marine environment.

Station 3. ROW 4  UNKNOWN FOSSILS. 3 DRAWINGS 

 Choose 3 to draw
CHOOSE 3 fossils to identify.  photograph them and give evidence that you can identify the fossil using the known fossils. 

EVALUATION.   60 marks total

lab portion total 60 marks 

50-60 marks - you photograph all the fossils and you make drawings 

 3 drawings for station 1

3 drawings for station 2 and 

3 drawings for station 3. 

 You complete all your observations.    

30-45 - you completed all the drawings and it is not in colour .  Your drawings look great.  Or, you have beautiful drawings but did not complete all the drawings for each station.  

10-30 - This looks great and you need to complete the work

0-9 - this work is incomplete. 

Lab on Homologous and analogous traits

 Examine the specimens in class.  (6 specimens)

1.  Draw the specimens OR photograph the specimen and add text to your photo to identify

this specimen.   

a.  What is the environment of the specimen?

b. How do the physical traits help the organism survive in this environment? Example, the 

fluid dynamic shape of an orca helps it to hunt in its environment.

2.  Identify homologous traits amongst at least two or more specimens .  Label the traits that are 

homologous. 

3.  Identify analogous traits amongst at least two or more specimens. Label these traits.

4.  Group the specimens and tell me which are more likely to have a common ancestor? Which 

specimens are more closely related and which are most likely not related.

Give evidence for your answer.   

Evolution Lesson

 Your teacher will review these intro notes on evolution,   If time, look at the notes on

How evolutionary change occurs

Watch the videos below on speciation

ASSIGNMENT

DO TWO TASKS
1. WRITE A SUMMARY OF HOW SPECIATION OCCURS, WITH ILLUSTRATIONS.
Review THE BIRD video on the steps of speciation and take notes on this, outlining the steps. Also read "How evolutionary change occurs" as a reference
2.  NEXT, write a summary of the human evolution video

Here's the crash course discribing Darwin's journey on the Beagle

Evaluation out of 20 

 18-20    Your summary is brilliant, creative and in a visual format. It is complete and shows that you understand the concepts

14-16.   Your summary is very well done and is complete. You show that you understand the concepts
