RACE C and R Food Preservation Essays!

Hi All,

It was great organizing our thoughts around the question, "Which food preservation method is best?" You all used the writing frame very well and were able to dig into the text to find supporting details. I can't wait to see what you come up with as we produce the essays on thursday!
Mr. F :-)

Great job today!

Congrats, once again, on showing the world how smart you are at science!
Back to food safety now!

Mr. F :-)

As promised....

1. Multiple trials
2. Placebo (fake medicine)
3. Informed consent (permission slip)
4. Large sample size
5. Well written procedure

Quantitative= number data
Qualitative= description data


-----------------------------------
DV= data; Heart rate
IV= change you make, “push-ups”
Constant variable= what stays the same for each person; “type of exercise”


-----------------------------------------
-Certain nutrients can keep you healthy
- not all diseases are caused by germs
- well designed experiments are important!

1) structure
2) protection of organs
3) bone marrow creates blood cells
4) helps you move
5) store minerals

Tendons connect muscle to bone

Ligaments connect bone to bone

------------------------------------------
1) cardiac muscle- heart
2) skeletal- skeleton
3) smooth- lines your digestive tract

-transports oxygen and removes carbon dioxide from your body

-heart pumps the blood:
right side to lungs alveoli  left side to body!
(double pump)
---------------------------------------------------------------------


------------------------------------------
Arteries- take blood away from the heart
Veins- bring blood to the heart
Capillaries- small blood vessel where oxygen and co2 and nutrients can be exchanged
-------------------------------------------


-----------------------------
Nose/mouth
Trachea (wind pipe)
(part of the lungs)
Bronchial tubes
Alveoli
----------------------------------


Alveoli allow the oxygen and carbon dioxide to exchange in your blood.


Heart pumps the blood with oxygen all over the body (from the left side)
1) mouth
2) esophagus
3) stomach
4) small intestine
5) large intestine


-------------------------------------------
1)mouth- mechanical / chemical
2) esophagus-
3) stomach- mechanical / chemical
4) small intestine- chemical
5) large intestine- reabsorbs water
-------------------------------------------


cells tissues organs organ systems organism
-----------------------------------------------------


pulse- number of times your heart beats in a period of time (beats per minute)

High power trade off-
(less area- hard to find things)


Low power trade offs-

Bacteria has NO NUCLEUS
Bacteria has a cell wall

Both have other organelles in common.

Tonight's Homework

Hi All!

In question 1 of tonight's homework it asks whether or not the hospital has what it needs when it has a pint of A, B and O blood. They are really asking if they could cover an A, B, and AB patient with that blood. What do you think?

Also, question 3 asks about cell shapes...although there are many shapes for cells try your best on this one and we'll discuss it in class.

Thanks! Mr. F :-)
