Scavenger Hunt: Exploring Biology Concepts with Gizmos, Lecture notes of Physics

Universiteit Antwerpen, UFSIAPhysics

A scavenger hunt assignment for students using various educational gizmos to explore different biology concepts. Topics include controlled experiments, cell structure, photosynthesis, human evolution, genetics, and ecosystems. Students are required to identify hypotheses, independent/dependent variables, structures, and evidence to support their answers.

10pts
(SC.912.N.1.1)
Create a controlled experiment using one of the following Gizmos (Growing
Plants, Coral Reefs Gizmo , Food Chain Gizmo , Conduction & Convection
Gizmo , Force & Fan Carts Gizmo , Fan Cart Physics Gizmo , Sled Wars
Gizmo , Phase Changes Gizmo , Rabbit Population by Season Gizmo ,
Germination Gizmo , Forest Ecosystem Gizmo , Photosynthesis Lab Gizmo ,
Roller Coaster Physics Gizmo) . Identify your Question, Hypothesis,
Independent/Dependent Variable, Results and Conclusion.
5pts
(SC.912.L.14.3)
Go 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.
10pts
(SC.912.L.14.7)
Use the Cell Structure Gizmo, Photosynthesis Lab Gizmo, and Cell Energy
Cycle Gizmo to explore how plants create energy within their tissues. What 3
structures are most important to photosynthesis? Support your answer with
evidence from the Gizmo (screenshot or text)
Use the Pollination: Flower to Fruit Gizmo to explore how plants use their
tissues for reproduction. What 4 structures are most important to
reproduction? Support your answer with evidence from the Gizmo
(screenshot or text)
10pts
(SC.912.L.15.1)
Explore 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.
5pts
(SC.912.L.15.13)
Adjust 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.
5pts
(SC.912.L.16.1 (Part 1))
Using 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.

5pts (SC.912.L.16.1 (Part 2)) Explore the Chicken Genetics Gizmo. How is this example of inheritance different from the way traits are inherited in the Mouse Genetics (Two Traits) Gizmo?

10pts (SC.912.L.16.3) Using the Building DNA Gizmo, describe the basic process of DNA replication and how it relates to the transmission and conservation of the genetic information.

Compare and contrast the processes of DNA replication and Protein Synthesis. Use the RNA and Protein Synthesis and Building DNA Gizmos

5pts (SC.912.L.16.17) Use the Cell Division Gizmo and explore mitosis. Compare and contrast mitosis and your current knowledge of meiosis. How does this relate to sexual and asexual reproduction?

For an extra challenge, complete the Extension Activity in the Student Exploration Sheet.

10pts (SC.912.L.17.5) Explore the Rabbit Population by Season Gizmo. What factors in the Gizmo represent limiting factors? Run a trial for 5 years with the default conditions, and place a screenshot to the right. Create a controlled experiment that tests your hypothesis on what the limiting factors (biotic & abiotic) are, and carrying capacity may be.

Use the Coral Reefs Gizmo to determine the effects of an exotic species (lionfish or crown-of-thorns starfish) to the ecosystem. Which populations are most affected?

5pts (SC.912.L.17.9) Use the Food Chain Gizmo to explore food webs and energy transfer. Take a screenshot, and identify the producers and consumers. Write a short argument, with evidence, explaining what % of energy is passed on from one level to another.

10pts (SC.912.L.17.20) Use the Coral Reefs - Abiotic Factors Gizmo and the Coral Reefs - Biotic Factors Gizmo to explore how human lifestyles affect sustainability of the reef ecosystem. What are the types of human impacts that you can test on the reef ecosystem? Pick two (e.g. agriculture and fishing) and create a controlled experiment that answers the following question: which of the two has a greater impact on the reef ecosystem? Write an argument with evidence from the Gizmo to support your answer.

10pts (SC.912.L.18.9 (18.7-10)) Use the Cell Energy Cycle Gizmo to compare and contrast photosynthesis and respiration. Use screenshots to show the end of both, as well as a picture of the interrelatedness of the two.
