Stem Cell Project

Part A: the following is an animation with an introduction to stem cells. Go through the animation and make notes (written or pictures) in each box.

Part B: Search for your own websites.

Part C: For 1) obtain the information from the following NIH website. For 2), go through the "Go, Go, Stem Cell" animation to answer the question and to complete the chart. For 3) Concept map:, read the article "The story of IPS" to get information to add to the concept map.

Part D: The following is a page that looks at the pros and cons of stem cell research. Complete the Decision Matrix using information from this website AND your own thoughts. When you are done with the matrix, write a newspaper article on your own.

Biology (lab#2 Spiking Soda Abstract)

Type an "abstract" on your spiking soda study due Wed. Please use the correct format that was given to you.

Exercise can help...EVERYTHING...

Students are researching and conducting a pilot study on how morning exercise can help to improve behavior, grades, depression, and attention. More information may be found on the "Exercise Physiology Blog" link to the right or click here.

LE & Ex Phys (weebly)

Please create a weebly account and begin creating your webpage. Please provide Mr Cerny your username and password. ExPhys will create pages/buttons in the left menu for each topics: introduction,nutrition,energy metabolism,body systems,training,injuries,kinesiology,psychology. LE will create pages/buttons in the left menu for each topic: introducion, KI1:sim. and diff. of living things, KI2:Genetics,KI3:Evolution,KI4:Reproduction & Development,KI5:Homeostasis, KI6:Ecology, KI7: Human Impact, and Lab

Ex Phys MM (what is exphys?)

Using MovieMaker or Adobe Premier or PowerPoint, create a presentation that explains 1)what Exercise Science/physiology is all about 2) at least 5 topics that we will be looking into this year and 3) a summary of a study published in the last 5 years that relates to ex. phys. You must include at least text and pictures. Save movie as a movie file, upload into teachertube.com (login pcerny,nwfalcons)and download into introduction page of your weebly. PowerPoints may be uploaded into slideshare.net (login pcerny,nwfalcons) and download into introduction page of your weebly.

Ex Phys (career project)

Your assignment will be to research the questions below and to present your findings to the class in a PowerPoint presentation. Please keep in mind that when doing a PowerPoint presentation, you are giving the information to the audience and not the slides. Each slide should be a brief summary of what you will vocally expand on.

Below is an outline that be covered during your presentation. The following is the minimum amount of information to be covered, you may include additional information that you may find useful.

1.What are a few of the local Colleges/Universities that offer degrees in Exercise Physiology/Science (EP/S)?
2.How many years of college do you need to attend in order to obtain a degree in EP/S?
3.What are some of the courses you would be taking in order to obtain a degree in EP/S?
4.A degree in EP does not necessarily mean you must become an Exercise Physiologist.What are five other careers that you could go into with a degree in Exercise Physiology?
5.From your list of five careers, choose one that interests you and answer the following questions about it:
6.How many years of additional schooling (if any) would you have to attend in order to become your chosen career? Do local colleges offer what you need?
7.What are some of the courses you would be taking (if different than #3)
8.What is an average salary for this occupation?
9.Describe what a typical day may be like.

May only work with a partner only if you do a video presentation (see me).Grades will be given by your instructor and will be based on three factors:
•5pts. presentation •5pts. slides •10pts. content

Ex Phys: Nutrition Review

Exam Tuesday:

What is the form of glucose stored in the body and where is it stored?
In what form are lipids transported in the blood?
Why are dietary supplements for amino acids generally not recommended?
LDL and HDL role in cholesterol levels
Benefits of antioxidants in your diet
Benefits to you/an athlete of having knowledge on the following: HF corn syrup, fiber, glycemic index, tans fatRole of vitamins and minerals in general metabolism

Ex Phys: cholesterol

The following is a link to videos related to cholesterol. You are to create a movie (Moviemaker) about the role of lipoproteins in your body (see below). If you need further information on how to use MovieMaker, the following provides video tutorials.
1.Ingest foods high in cholesterol
2.Cholesterol absorbed by the small intestine, and enters the bloodstream
3.Cholesterol absorbed from small intestine into liver
4.Cholesterol combines with triglycerides to form VLDL.
5.VLDL is broken down into LDL
6.LDL exits the liver and enter bloodstream for delivery to peripheral tissues
7.Plaque formed on the inside walls of arteries
8.HDL (already in bloodstream) removes excess cholesterol from arterial walls
9.HDL releases cholesterol back to the liver
10.Bile is released and excess cholesterol is either 1) eliminated in feces or 2) reabsorbed in your bloodstream

Biology: cells

four-square cell handout due wed.

Biology: Cells

The following video shows a lot of things that occur in your cells (choose [HIGH] to view)

Biology: Enzymes

Go to the following site or this site or...this site and use the activities to help you fill in the four-square handout sheet (Title: Enzymes).

Bio

Research was exactly biology is. Locate at least 10 different websites that explain what things you may be learning about this year. In your blog, create a post that summarizes the websites and in your own words describes what Biology is. Remember, whenever you get information from a webpage, link that information from your text to the website source (just as I did above with "blog"). After you have written a couple of paragraphs on Biology, find a "royalty-free" website that allows you to save and post pictures. Post a few pictures that represent what Biology in the same post.

ExPhys

After you have created your blog, research what exactly exercise physiology/exercise science really is. Post an explanation in your blog that includes text and at least one picture (make sure it's from a royalty-free site!). Log onto the class website and link your name to your blog (sign in is nwbiology, nwfalcons and the site is mrcernyexphys2...)

Do you know this stuff?
