Science

=(Note: Anything in the notebook is followed from these standards: Teacher Science Standards )= =Day 1 - July 19= Objectives: SWBAT: 1. Define Evolution in their own words 2. Evaluate social, cultural, and political events of the early 1900s [|Teacher Wiki] Opener: 1. The objective of the video was to show how man was created through evolution. 2. Why use the Simpsons (kind of a dumb '?' but oh well)? 3. Image through link: Evolution relation with opener

Three Word Pair and Share: Evolution: Currently Learning Charles Darwin: Made the theory of Natural Selection which has a lot to do with evolution or how it works Change: Isn't it that simple?

Frayer Model on Evolution:

3 Minute Pause 1: Some key points of evolution is that it involves change, variation, natural selection, adaption, etc. 2: I think that evolution is a bit strange because it involves many things that aren't similar to each other, only in a few ways. 3. What does evolution have to do with S.S. stuff that we did the last 2 weeks?



This is a mix of words used by the group and some overheard in class from either teachers and/or students. What Changed?- There are much more words than last time, Evolution: The biggest word, also the topic we're learning about. Other Words: The other words are about what is association with evolution. (Virtual Classroom Tab now on the Discussion section of Science page) Interactive Timeline: A:Maybe, it depends if people are willing to accept change, then none, but some religions may not accept this idea, they believe their god had created everything, not this theory of evolution, an example of this is the Scopes Trial, they did not accept this man teaching about evolution. Though the northerners like change, they may accept it, but in the south, the southerners (and the KKK) like tradition, and will not accept the idea of evolution.**
 * Q:Do you think that scientific research and discovery might be in conflict with some values and ideals of the 1920's? Why or why not?

Summarizing Activity: 1.Evolution and Science are still being at war or conflict with each other (ex: some parts of U.S. allows evolution in curriculum, some don't). 2.I support the idea of evolution, some people may not believe it, it's fine.

Day 2 - July 20
Objectives: SWBAT: 1. Explain the controversy of teaching evolution in schools 2. Identify the different views about teaching evolution in schools 3. Evaluate the impact of the Scopes trial in America I See/It Means: //The Simpsons Monkey Suit// answers: 1.The message of the video clip was to show that there were differences between the two ideas of how man was created and people believed different things. Also that it was illegal in some parts of the USA to teach about the theory of evolution. 2.If you mean everything in the cartoon then perhaps yes, I mean didn't it already happen with the Scopes Trial? Only that it will happen in the South not much of the fighting in the North. (At this time, I'm not sure what the issue of it still exists or it's gone). Butler Act Mark-Up:

Pirate Pad discussion Pirate Pads on major characters: **Clarence Darrow** Group 1: [] Group 2 : [] William Jennings Bryan ** Group 1:@http://piratepad.net/wQBn567iaM [] Group 2 : [] American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) ** Group 1: [] Group 2: []  Group 1: [] Group 2 : []  Group 1: [] Group 2 : [] Summarizing Activity: 1. Everyone was either a defendent (Scopes), on the defense (Darrow and the ACLU), persecution (Bryan), or judge (Raulston) 2. OK-supporting the idea of teaching evolution in school: Scopes, Darrow, and the ACLU. against the idea of teaching evolution in school: Bryan and Raulston. 3. I suppose I agree with the outcome because he broke the law even though it may have been a bit unconstitiutional and the defense was able to produce evidence of evolution (not sure about last part).

=Day 3 - July 21= //__**Objectives:**__// SWBAT: -Explain how their Glog/Slide represents the significance of events that occurred during the Scopes Trial -Identify and explain the connection between science and the justice system in today's world

10 words summary activity: The Scopes Trial was a deception, an ad. Image:

Slide of Scopes Trial-The truth behind it- media type="custom" key="6577227" I used a film and newspaper for a 20th century feel, included pictures of the case like the defendant, the lawyer, the persecutor, and where it all took place. Also there were some pictures behind the whole case, like John Scopes was hired by the ACLU to intentionally break the law and have a major case between science and religion, proposed by business leaders and the major (mayor, secretary, etc.) of Daytown to help raise publicity to help their economy. Overall the case was a fake, meant to be an ad to attract people. The impact of this case was John was released, the Butler law wasn't enforced after the case, several other states took that law, enforced it and it was nullified by cases that happened in court in those states.

CSI training- It was interesting to say the least, I didn't know what type of machines they use to recieve evidence, I have played some detective games without all the forensic and poisoning stuff, someone does it for me, and watched some detective shows, but there were never too in depth about how it works, it was fun playing these training games.
