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.

Uranium-238 (U238) has three more neutrons than uranium-235 (U235). Compared to the speed of sound in a bar of U235, is the speed of sound in a bar of U238 higher, lower, or the same? There are several
factors that play a role.
(a) Chemically, the atoms of these two isotopes behave in essentially identical ways, since the number of protons (92) is identical and the clouds of 92 electrons are nearly identical. The interatomic distance, and
the effective "stiffness" of the interatomic bond, both depend on the chemical properties of the atoms. Therefore, which of the following statements are true?
O The effective stiffness of the interatomic "spring" is greater for U238 because the mass is greater.
O The effective stiffness of the interatomic "spring" is the same in the two isotopes, since this "spring" is a model for the interactions of the outer electrons, which are the same for different isotopes of the
same atom.
O An atom with more mass in the nucleus is bigger, so the distance…

Determining Diet. One method for determining the amount of corn in early Native American diets is the stable isotope ratio analysis (SIRA) technique. As corn photosynthesizes, it concentrates the isotope carbon-13, whereas most other plants concentrate carbon-12. Overreliance on corn consumption can then be correlated with certain diseases, because corn lacks the essential amino acid lysine. Archaeologists use a mass spectrometer to separate the 12C and 13C isotopes in samples of human remains. Suppose you use a velocity selector to obtain singly ionized (missing one electron) atoms of speed 8.50 km /s, and you want to bend them within a uniform magnetic field in a semicircle of diameter 25.0 cm for the 12C. The measured masses of these isotopes are 1.99 * 10-26 kg (12C) and 2.16 * 10-26 kg (13C). (a) What strength of magnetic field is required? (b) What is the diameter of the 13C semicircle? (c) What is the separation of the 12C and 13C ions at the detector at the end of the…

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] .
