Projects A & B
PROJECT A: Dissection – Students follow lab directions to correctly perform a dissection of a starfish, identify parts and explain what each part does. Research the dissection online and be knowledgeable about the process. Complete the dissection in class after you are prepared.
MATERIALS NEEDED: Starfish dissection kit (If you are highly advanced in science, you can choose a more challenging animal or organs). Internet access so students can observe the correct technique after they read the directions.
PROJECT B: This lesson was first published by the Georgia Aquarium: http://www.georgiaaquarium.org/media/pdf/edu/UnderseaInvestigatorsTG12-13.pdf
a) The process of scientific inquiry starts with a question. From there, the inquiry can take many different paths, but the underlying function is usually observation. Through this exercise students will become comfortable with the process of scientific inquiry (questioning, observation, data analysis and conclusions) with a familiar subject, candy. Students will follow a process of data collection, and, apply this knowledge to estimate the qualities of a new bag of candy by applying their data on weight, percentages of colors, and mathematical averages.
b) Students:
a. Learn to associate dolphin tracking and porpoise behavior.
b. Apply graphing and map skills to dolphin research.
c. Investigate about dolphin life history.
Students should relate part 1 and part 2 of project B and how it relates to Animal Science.
