Destruction and Conservation
Overview:
In this assignment you will research a specific organism that is endangered or threatened and the causes behind its declining population. You will also research any efforts to protect and conserve this organism. You will then write an essay about the organism you chose.
 
Assignment:
Start by researching organisms that are endangered or threatened. Choose a specific organism to focus on for your assignment. Research what caused that organism to become endangered or threatened. Did the population of your chosen species decline due to the influence of humans or some other cause? Finally, research if there have been any conservation efforts to help restore and preserve the species.
After completing your research, write an essay describing what you have learned.
 
Writing Prompt
Select and research an organism that is endangered or threatened. Describe the organism: What does it eat? Where does it live? Explain why it is endangered or threatened. Describe any efforts that have been made to help preserve and/or restore the species' populations. Is this organism involved in any rehabilitation programs, found in zoos, or on nature preserves? Lastly, describe how the organism is doing in the present day and what experts think will be the future of the organism.

Present a Persuasive Speech
Student Resource
Preparation: Presenting a Persuasive Speech
When you present a persuasive speech, keep in mind the elements of good public speaking, listed below. Remember, you will be presenting, not reading, your speech.
As you are touching up your speech to get it ready to present, you may want to add some visuals or multi-media as appropriate. Be aware that any media you use should clarify and enhance - not overpower - your speech.
 
Elements of Good Persuasive Speech Delivery
Eye contact - If the audience is small and close, look them in the eyes; if they are not, at least look up at them.
Gestures - Mark your key points with hand or body emphasis.
Change in Volume - Emphasize important points with an increase in volume.
Change in Pitch - Voice Inflections help engage audience.
Cadence - The rhythm and speed you establish in your speech pull your audience along. Sometimes a break in cadence is very compelling.
Posture - Avoid nervous habits - e.g., playing with hair or note cards, drumming on the podium, swaying back and forth.
 
Assignment: Listen and Evaluate
Listen to a public speech. This could be a speech covered in the news, such as a political speech, a presentation at a conference, a new product announcement, etc. While you are listening, evaluate the speaker according to the criteria in the table below. Note that you are evaluating the speaker's credibility, bias, purpose, and priorities - not the speaker's delivery.

Scientific Method Project

Overview:
In this assignment, you will be using the scientific method to develop your own experiment. You will not be conducting the experiment but you will develop one based on a hypothesis. You will submit a project containing the needed information outlined under the "Project" section.
 
Background Information:
The scientific method is a process used by scientists to develop experiments and test hypotheses. This process begins by making observations. The next step is to develop a question based on these observations, such as how something works.
 
Based on the question under investigation, a hypothesis is created. A hypothesis should be a prediction of what happens. It is written in an "if, then" format. An experiment is designed to test a specific hypothesis. A scientific experiment should have an independent variable, dependent variable, and a control group. The independent variable is what is changed in the experiment. The dependent variable is what is measured in the experiment.
 
A control group is a group in which the independent variable undergoes no change. The control group in an experiment serves as a baseline to measure the results of the experiment and can be very useful in isolating unknown factors which may influence the dependent variable.
 
Remember that a good experiment includes multiple repetitions for each experimental group.
Once an experiment has been conducted, all of the data collected is analyzed. Scientists look for trends in the data and use statistical analysis to compare all of the experimental groups. This is then compared to the hypothesis to see if the data does or does not support the hypothesis. Through this method, scientists draw conclusions about their hypothesis based on whether or not their experiment was successful.
 
Project:
Below are the instructions for each section of the project. For this assignment you will follow the steps of the scientific method and develop your own experiment.
You will need to include all of the following information:
Topic: Start by deciding what you would like to investigate. Your topic may be related to biology, the environment around you, or some other topic you are interested in.
 
Observations: Make a number of observations related to your topic. If the topic you chose isn't something you can observe around you then you may conduct research about your topic and record any noteworthy information. Include a paragraph describing your observations in your final submission.
 
Questions: Using your observations or research, think about your topic and ask some questions. Think about how it works or why it may behave a certain way. Come up with two or three questions about your topic.
 
Hypothesis: Use the questions you came up with to develop your hypothesis. This is a prediction of what you think will happen and should be able to be tested. A hypothesis is written in an "if, then" format. If this happens, then this will happen.
 
Experiment: Once you develop a hypothesis, think of how it could be tested in an experiment. What would you be testing? What would you measure? Remember that you need a control group. The purpose of this group is to serve as a reference that can be used to compare your experimental results to. This gives you something to compare with all the experimental groups and monitor any change. Record all of the following information about your experiment.
Independent Variable: This is what you are changing in the experiment.
Dependent Variable: This is what you are measuring.
Control Group: This is the group unaffected by the independent variable.
Experimental Groups: These are the groups affected by the independent variable and there should be multiple replications for each group.
 
Submission:
Be creative with how you present your information. This can be done in a list, in a chart, in paragraph form, or another way. Be sure to include your topic, observations, questions, hypothesis, and the details of your experiment. Be descriptive with your language in each section and use correct grammar.
 
You will submit a document or presentation with the required information for each part of the scientific method. Label each part and make sure the information is complete. You only need to include the parts of the scientific method included under "Project."

"Heart| We will forget him!"
by Emily Dickinson
Heart We will forget him!
You and I-tonight!
You may forget the warmth he gave-
I will forget the light!
When you have done, pray tell me
 
That I may straight begin!
Haste! lest while you're lagging
I remember him!
