Infectious Disease Part 2 May 15

Your group should get together and share information from yesterday - turn in your work to me - or let me check it on your computer screen.

Next, Go to http://www.koshland-science-museum.org/exhib_infectious/tracing_emerging_diseases.jsp Pick 5 hotspots for emerging infectious disease and read about the impact of disease in this area - take notes in your notebook - and show me when you finish

Finally - Go to this interactive - move the "target" around to view information about where the invaders are - and what they are. Choose 5 targets for each of the 3 invaders and descrive them in your notebook. Show me when you are done. http://www.koshland-science-museum.org/exhib_infectious/where_are_they_int.jsp

If you are done, you can play Pandemic II (see yesterday's post)

Infectious Disease Webquest May 14, 2009

First - read JUST the introduction on this site http://www.koshland-science-museum.org/teachers/wq-id_bf_002.jsp

Second - decide in your group who is going to be researcher 1, 2, 3 and 4 - and then begin doing the webquest. http://www.koshland-science-museum.org/teachers/wq-id_bf_003.jsp

You will have 2 days to complete this activity.

If you finish early you can play Pandemic II on this site - watch the tutorial first http://www.sharenator.com/Pandemic_2/

We will be using the following website in class to continue our discussion http://www.koshland-science-museum.org/exhib_infectious/index.jsp

Climate and Evolution May 6, 2009

Tomorrow we are going to begin to tie together what we have learned about human evolution, extinctions, natural selection and the timeline of human migration - and relate all of this to ecosystems and climate.

First To help you begin thinking about this - take the quiz online and record the right answers and the questions in your notes http://anthro.palomar.edu/practice/ho2quiz3.htm



Secondly, using your flip book timeline of human migration - on the BACK of the flip book - map out the timeline of human evolution - For each species, explain the background of the name, give a date range for when it lived, describe its basic diagnostic features and where specimens have been discovered. Use this website http://www.archaeologyinfo.com/species.htm
