Taking Sides: First, take a side in this controversy by outlining the
following:
Who do you think deserves ownership of the remains in
each case and why?
What should be done with these remains, and what
concessions would this require the scientific community
and/or the tribes to make?
Respond to your classmates’ posts and work together
with them, as a class, to come up with some
compromises to this issue.
Learning from our mistakes: Without question, similar problems
will be faced in the future as scientific exploration continues, and
remains are likely to be found. Although the scientific method
provides us with a framework for how to conduct our research
using the remains, it does not take into account the ethics of
scientific research. What are some additional criteria you could
add to the scientific method in order to ensure that research is
conducted in a moral and ethical way? Provide an example of an
area of research/science that requires a code of ethics when
suggesting your modifications to the scientific method.

The Covid-19 pandemic has many experts commenting on the science associated with the virus - origins, vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, masks, social distancing. It is important to consider what the experts say, but to also evaluate their statements. We will start with the scientific method.
I want you to outline the scientific method from what you have been taught in previous classes. You can list steps, parts, process, short descriptions, whatever. If not taught in previous classes, then you will make your best guess about it.

Consider Molecule X, which is found in all living cells. This single-strand nucleic acid folds into a compact shape and forms a large complex with about 80
proteins. This complex is responsible for synthesizing new proteins in a living cell.
What is the name of X? Your answer should be one word, or a short two- or three-word phrase. Spelling counts.
Note: if there is more than one possible answer, separate each answer with a comma.

Some greenhouse gases, such as fluorocarbons (CFCs, HFCs, PFCs, etc.), are human-made. Others, such as water, methane, and carbon dioxide, are naturally produced. Which type of greenhouse gas (human-made or natural) is more difficult to control and eliminate? Which types are easier? In three to five sentences, provide evidence for your argument.

You work in a research organization that is looking for markers of various diseases that can be used as a diagnostic for the disease. It has been reported in the past that high levels of Cu are found in the sweat of people with cystic fibrosis. One of the research projects is focused on looking for high levels of Cu in samples that can be obtained non-invasively such as saliva, sweat, hair, nails, etc.
The lab will analyze large samples for Cu. What instrument would you recommend purchasing to support this work, Atomic absorption spectrophotometer or an inductively coupled plasma atomic spectrophotometer? Explain the basis for your decision.

A sample of iron weighing 15.0 g was heated with potassium chlorate (KCIO3) in an evacuated container. The oxygen generated from the
decomposition of KCIO3 converted some of the Fe to Fe2Oe. If the combined mass of Fe and Fe203 was 17.9 g, calculate the mass of Fe203
formed and the mass of KCIO3 decomposed. Please show your work for credit and comment on another students such as asking a question or
pointing the student in the right direction.

Fill in the following blanks.
As the dye concentration increases, the absorbance of the light [linearly increases, linearly decreases, exponentially increases or exponentially decreases].
The dye concentration units are [molar (M), millimolar (mM) or grams per liter (g/L)] .
Although most people wrongly conclude that absorbance has units nm, in fact, absorbance is unitless. This is because it results from a ratio of light through a colored sample relative to light intensity through a clear (blank) sample.
The units for the slope of the graph would be [mM, 1/mM or nm] . Hint: the slope is the change in y values divided by the change in x values.
The units for the y-intercept of the graph would be [nm, nM or unitless] .
The value for the slope of the line that describes the absorbance data is [6.4597 or 0.0008]
The value for the y-intercept of the line that describes the absorbance data is [6.4597 or 0.0008] .

A chemistry student weighs out 0.0202 g of acrylic acid (HCH,CHCO,) into a 250. mL volumetric flask and dilutes to the mark with distilled water. He plans
to titrate the acid with 0.1800M NAOH solution.
Calculate the volume of NaOH solution the student will need to add to reach the equivalence point. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.

1. Briefly state what separates science from opinion?
2. Water is the most important molecule to life on this planet. Briefly explain why water has the unique properties it does (high boiling point, high freezing point, high capacity of heat, etc.), especially for a small molecule.
3. How does the depth of water affect light availability? How deep does light penetrate ocean water? How might this affect ocean life?
4. The world oceans are dynamic. One reason is because the oceans are in constant motion. One means of water motion are waves. What are waves? What are three factors that affect wave height?
