Identify your Question, Hypothesis, Independent/Dependent Variable, Results and Conclusion.SB1Go 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.SB1Use the Cell Energy Cycle Gizmo to compare and contrast photosynthesis and respiration.SB2Explore 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.SB2Adjust 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. SB2Using 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.SB2Explore the Chicken Genetics Gizmo. How is this example of inheritance different from the way traits are inherited in the Mouse Genetics (Two Traits) Gizmo?SB2Using the Building DNA Gizmo, describe the basic process of DNA replication and how it relates to the transmission and conservation of the genetic pare and contrast the processes of DNA replication and Protein Synthesis. Use the RNA and Protein Synthesis and Building DNA GizmosSC.912.L.16.17 Compare and contrast mitosis and meiosis and relate to the processes of sexual and asexual reproduction and their consequences for genetic variation.Only have Mitosis Gizmo Coral Reef GizmosSB4Use a food web to identify and distinguish producers, consumers, and decomposers. Explain the pathway of energy transfer through trophic levels and the reduction of available energy at successive trophic levels. Food Chain GizmoSC.912.L.17.20 Predict the impact of individuals on environmental systems, and examine how human lifestyles affect sustainability. SC.912.L.18.1 Describe the basic molecular structures and primary functions of the four major categories of biological macromolecules. Explain the role of enzymes as catalysts that lower the activation energy of biochemical reactions. Identify factors, such as pH and temperature, and their effect on enzyme activity. SC.912.L.18.9 Explain the interrelated nature of photosynthesis and cellular respiration. ................
