Exploring New Species and Investigating an Outbreak: A Dual Research Project

This project focuses on two critical aspects of biology: discovering a new species and analyzing a recent outbreak at Tech High. For the new species aspect, students will delve into organism classification, create a detailed cladogram, and develop a model or drawing showcasing key features and habitats. In the outbreak segment, they will summarize findings from the CDC report, identify the organism involved, and provide safety recommendations based on the outbreak's characteristics. This comprehensive approach ensures a deep understanding of both new biological discoveries and public health challenges.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Unit 1 cumulative project New species or Outbreak

  2. What are the two projects? • Discovering a new species Or Figuring out what caused an outbreak

  3. New Species • Classification of organism • Cladogram • Niche • Scientific name • Model or picture of organism

  4. New Species • Classification • Cell type • Complexity • Eating, transport, • Respire, grow • Reproduce, excrete

  5. New Species • Cladogram • Derived characters • Logical • Colorful • Neat

  6. New Species • Niche • Food • Predator/prey • Autotroph/hetertroph • biome • Major habitat • How it lives • What it does

  7. New Species • Scientific name • Genus species • Fits organism and cladogram • Correctly formatted

  8. New Species • Model/drawing • Neat • Colorful • Anatomically accurate • Matches description of organism • Noted features of organism marked

  9. Outbreak at Tech High • CDC report on the breakout • Describe cell and life processes • Describe best environment • Press release or news story

  10. Outbreak at Tech High • CDC report • Outbreak epicenter w/ 3 supporting facts • Organism correctly identified w/ 3 facts • Safety recommendations (4) • 1.5 pages • 12 point font double spaced and typed • Written as a CDC agent

  11. Outbreak at Tech High • Press release/CNN report • Done like a CDC agent/news reporter • Appropriate vocabulary • Well spoken • Summaries report

  12. Outbreak at Tech High • Paper about organism • Typed, 12 pt font, double spaced, 2 pages • Cell type, classification domain to species • Complexity of body, nutrition, transport, respire, excrete, grow, reproduce • Predator/prey, autotroph/heterotroph, biome • Major habitat, how it lives, what it does; best enviroment

  13. Timeline • Mon: decide which project then: start organism or predictor paragraph • Tues: Establish niche/work on cladograms (computer lab) • Wens: rough draft complete • Thurs: computer lab/polish project • Fri: final work on project due today.

  14. Extra Credit • Write and perform a rap song about your organism or outbreak • At least 2 verses • Covers major points • No lewd or bad language • Creative • Due 10/12
