tionales using 60 words and then condense each to 50 words.
a. In the "Classification" Column indicate by letter: Which of these activities is em-
pirical science? Which of these activities is historical science? Which does not
represent scientific activity of either sort.

b. For any activity you labeled as empirical, list 1 brief phrase, quoted from the activ-
ity itself that best supports your choice. That is, the phrase you select should
make it clear that, "This is an empirical study."
c. From among the 5 activities, select the activity that best demonstrates the power
and value of the Scientific Method. Place the letter "MU in the last column op-
posite that activity. Select the activity that best demonstrates the limitations of the
Scientific Method. Place the letter "L" in the last column opposite that activity.

Here are 5 scientific activities:
b. A collection of YouTube video clips are examined to observe structures,
coloration, movement, and in some cases, habitats of the representation
organisms.
c. Video clips are paused while the organisms are drawn using pencils and
paper. Structures within these drawings are then labeled, the organisms
are named scientifically, assigned to their correct animal phylum, and
then photographed and submitted to a course site for evaluation.
d. Drawings are evaluated by the instructor for accuracy of structural render-
ing, labeling, and correct naming and classifying of the organism.
e. This observation, drawing, labeling, and naming is completed for each of 9
individual animal species.
1. Measuring Oxygen Consumption during Respiration in Germinating Peas
a. We are curious to know what effect an abnormally high temperature will have
on pea seedling germination.
b. Five grams of normal germinating peas are placed into 3 respirometers capa-
ble of measuring oxygen utilization. Respirometers are held at 25 C (room
temperature).
c. Measurements of gas volume reduction are taken every 5 minutes for 20
minutes.
d. The total volume of oxygen consumed is calculated and averaged over the 3
respirometers.
e. The experiment is repeated with 3 respirometers held at 40 C, and three more
held at 25 C.
f. Results are compared and the data are interpreted to conclude that 40 C tem-
perature inhibits respiratory activity in germinating pea seedlings.
f. A score will be assigned by the instructor based on the quality of the 9
drawings with their corresponding labelling and naming.
4. Determining the Origin of Man using mitochondrial DNA
a. We are curious to know if the wide diversity of types of human beings alive
today can be traced back to a single original man and woman as biblical
texts suggest.
2. Evolution of Foraminiferan Shell Structure Over Time
a. We are curious to know what effect environmental forces over time will have
on the structure of the shells of a Foraminiferan (foram) species. Forams are
microscopic protists with shells.
b. We get permission to examine a 100-foot long coring sample from the ocean
floor. Specimens are placed under an automated light microscope equipped
with a computer.
c. The computer program uses measurements of shell shape to automatically
sort and find individual shells of the species we are searching for. Photo-
graphs of these shells are arranged in a vertical sequence from the top of
the column to the bottom. Shells of the species are seen to vary in shape
b. DNA from the mitochondria (a cellular organelle) of 150 humans from a va-
riety of ethnic groups is degraded into small 150 base pair segments
which are then amplified and sequenced.
c. The sequences are given to a computer program which uses overlapping
regions of DNA sequence to order the segments and generate complete
mitochondrial DNA sequence.
d. Rates at which mitochondrial DNA mutates are estimated. Knowing these
rates and comparing mitochondrial DNA sequences from different human
populations, a single common ancestral sequence can be deduced. The
amount of time it took for that sequence to generate all the sequences
that exist today can also be deduced.
from the bottom of the core column to the top.
d. Radiometric dates for fossil shells from both ends of the sequence are col-
lected. These dates are from igneous rock formations near where these
foram fossils were unearthed on land.
e. Variations in mitochondrial DNA sequence can then be examined from a
different collection of ethnic groups and the results compared with other
such studies.
e. Three different coring experiments are sampled to confirm a neat, gradual
progression from within the species from one older morph to a newer more
modern morph.
f. Results are interpreted to conclude that this foram species'shape evolved
gradually and significantly over a period of 30 million years.
f. Computer comparisons using estimated mitochondrial DNA mutation rates
suggest that all humans descended from a single woman living in Africa
less than 150,000 years ago.
5. Determining the Best Cooking Oil to Use
3. Accurate Free-hand Representation of Animals from 9 Major Animal Phyla

Individual chemical characteristics of various oils commend each of them
