1. If you are looking for more information related to the scientific method and how different scientists utilize the methods differently, check out the cartoon at the following website: https://www.brainpop.com/science/famousscientists/janegoodall/
Why did a lot of people say that Jane Goodall didn't follow the scientific method properly? Do you agree?
2. Think of an example from your everyday life in which you naturally use the scientific method. Then, using the steps of the scientific method listed in your textbook, explain how your example could be "walked through" the steps of the scientific method.
3. What are the four major macromolecules in living organisms, and why is each one important? List a couple of facts that you find interesting about each one.
4. In my high school biology classes each year, we complete a bit "food journal" project, in which students must record everything they eat for a three day period. Then, students have to break down the calories, carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins that they are eating in a table and draw conclusions about their nutrition and how to improve it. The students seem to really like this project, and for some of them it's a real eye-opener:
Class: What do you think a typical 14 year-old generally eats too much of? Too little? Why do you think this is? (some of our parents in the class will have fun with this one, I think!)
5. As you're researching the "Cell as a Factory" analogy, you might think of other analogies that would work, too (perhaps they even work better!). Reply here with your other analogy ideas!
6. Science teachers often use an analogy comparing a cell to a factory. How does this analogy help explain how a cell works?
Please participate (respond) to the classmates answers with POSITIVE notable and educational input. (200 word minimum Reponses)
1. Katherine: The four major macromolecules that are found in living organism are Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins and Nucleic Acids. Carbohydrates are the biological molecule that consists of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) atoms. It is the synonym of saccharides that includes sugars, starch and cellulose. The carbohydrates are referred to as sugars. They do have different roles in the living organism like storage of energy (Polysaccharides), e.g. (starch and glycogen). Now Lipids on the other hand is the group of organic compounds that are insoluble in water but soluble in alcohol. They are considered fatty acids or derivative of a fatty acid, natural oils and cholesterol. On the other hand Proteins are a polymer made of monomers known as amino acids and the residues that are composed of one or more chains. They do have many functions in a living organism. Proteins serve essentially structural components of the body tissue for the muscle, hair, collagen, etc., as the enzymes and the antibodies. Collectively proteins are a dietary component. Nucleic Acids are complex compounds. They consist of linear chains of monomeric nucleotides where each unit is made up of phosphoric acid, sugar, and a nitrogenous base. It also is involved in the replication and hereditary information in every living cell. For example, DNA or RNA which is connected to our genetic makeup.
2. Shae: It has been raining nonstop in Charleston, it's tropical storm season, and though it rains buckets at a time you still have to get to work. As i was at work yesterday, middle of the day, the power shuts off. From a quick observation, i could quickly dismiss the issue on the rain. So my question at the time wasn't "did the rain cause the power outage?", because i had already came to a conclusion that would be my answer. Though if i did ask a question that would be the question to ask. I predicted that the lightening struck somewhere near causing the power to be fried. So i check the lights on the inside of the building and check the exterior lights, none of which were working. I'm now planning to call utility, but i remembered to check the breaker box in the office. To my surprise in the office, there was a big crow lying right under the breaker box fluttering about. I push broom it out the door and see that the bird simply ran into some of the switches. My hypothesis and prediction was incorrect, an unknown variable (the crow) wasn't involved in my original observation. i simply turned the lights back on and got back to work.

Imagine that you are asked to tutor another student on the fundamental concepts of chemistry, the scientific method, and the differences between a plant cell, an animal cell, and a bacterial cell.
Create a 14- to 20-slide presentation using Microsoft PowerPoint in which you cover the following:
• How chemical reactions occur in the body.
• The purpose of the scientific method.
• How to develop a hypothesis.
• How to design an experiment using the scientific method.
• The primary structures in each type of cell and the role of each structure.
• How does each cell makes energy for cellular processes? Give a brief overview of each energy-making process.
• What is unique about each cell type?
Each slide needs to have speaker notes minimum 120 words.
Please use make sure on some slides to use pictures
