Lab 1: How Fast is it Going?

Vocabulary:

1. Force - a push or a pull on an object

2. Speed - (gone over in class)

3. Constant Speed - the speed of an object remains the same throughout the travel

4. Average Speed - is a number that tells us how fast the car would be moving if its higher speeds and lower speeds were averaged out to a single speed



Variable: (skip 1/2 a page)



Procedure: (skip 1/2 a page)



Data Table: (skip 1/2 a page)



Analysis questions:

1. Report your calculated speed for each buggy in centimeters per second (cm/s). Compare the speed of the two buggies and determine which buggy traveled with the greatest speed. What does the unit cm/sec mean? (skip 5 lines)
2. How much faster was one buggy moving when compared to the other buggy? Use data to support your answer. (skip 3 lines)

3. How did you determine the speed of the buggy? (skip 3 lines)

4. What were the results of your experiment? (skip 3 lines)

5. A group of astronomers discover that a small meteor has just passed the Moon and is headed straight for Earth. The Moon is 400,000 kilometers away. The astronomers figure the average speed of the meteor is 4 km/s. Using the data from the astronomers, how much time do we have to prepare before the meteor impact occurs? (skip 3 lines)

Lab 29: Helping Hearts

Vocabulary:
1. Voluntary – something that is under our control (choosing to smoke)
2. Involuntary – something that is not under our control (breathing)

Data: Heart Risk Quiz (skip 1 page)

Project Requirements: DUE – Jan 22nd in Science class

Design and produce a brochure persuading teenagers to make decisions to reduce their risk for heart disease.

Your brochure should have the following:
1.
the brochure needs to be clear and convincing
2. describe one voluntary risk factor for heart disease
3. explain how the circulatory system works
4. explain how the risk factor you have identified affects the structure and function of the circulatory system
5. suggest 3 steps teens can take in their daily lives to reduce this risk factor
6. use 3 informal diagrams and artwork to help present the content of the brochure

Lab 27: The Pressure's On

Warm Up: What does High Blood pressure mean? What is going on in the body that would be causing high blood pressure? (skip 4 lines)

Vocabulary :
1. artery – a tubular structure that carries blood away from the heart

2. blood vessels – tubes that blood travels through

3. circulatory system – is an organ system that moves blood, nutrients, gases, and wastes to and from cells, helps fight diseases and helps stabilize body temperature and pH to maintain homeostasis

4. function – an object’s job or role

5. model – a smaller or larger version of an object that is too small or too big to observe in a classroom

6. qualitative data – properties or characteristics that are used to identify things

7. quantitative data – values that have been measured or counted

8. structure – what an object is made of and how the object is shaped

Data: Blood Pressure Data (skip ½ page)

Analysis Questions:

1. Squeezing the pressure pump modeled the pumping of the heart and the work the heart does when blood pressure is normal.

a. Recall what you observed when you acted as the artery. What happened to the flow of blood when the artery was clamped? (skip 3 lines)

b. How did clamping the artery affect how hard the heart had to pump? (skip 3 lines)

2. What effect did clamping the artery have on the pressure of the water inside the tubing? What does it mean to have high blood pressure? (skip 4 lines)

3. Explain what happens to the heart when you have high blood pressure as modeled in this activity. Support your answer with qualitative and quantitative data. (skip 4 lines)

Lab 25: Notes "Matters of Life and Death
