Should orcas (killer whales) be held in captivity?

Outline your argument and points you want to discuss during the debate

Be prepared to discuss these points with your opposition and plan to rebuttal their comments

You may research gather more evidence and catch your opposition off guard

RULES OF SOCRATIC SEMINARS

Rules of a Socratic Seminar

Quick overview of Socratic Seminar Everyone must participate in a

Socratic to get a grade Question is projected Ms. Barker will not interject Self reflection at end as well as peer

review

Keep in mind…

1) Take notes on the points made: Be prepared 2) Absolutely no side talking3) Do not interrupt others4) Listen carefully5) Don’t raise hands; take turns6) Be professional. Use Mr. and Miss. Formal

tone7) Speak up so all can hear you8) Absolutely no drawing or doing other

homework9) Discuss ideas rather than each other’s

opinions10)Stick to the point/make notes you want to

come back to

Keep in mind…

11)Try to add to or make a link with something someone else has said

12)Refer to the video/handout often! A seminar is not a test of memory. You are not “learning a subject,” you are aiming at understanding ideas, values and issues. Dig deeper. ASK WHY?

13)Avoid informal words: like, things, stuff, you know.

14)Don’t hog the show15)Have fun and work with each other. 16)Bring others into the conversation. You are

only as strong as your weakest link

Notes on Classification Homework:

Taxonomy:Organisms can be classified based on

physical similarities.

Taxonomy

= the science of naming and classifying organisms.

A taxon is a group of organisms in a classification system.

White oak:Quercus alba

Binomial nomenclature

= two-part scientific naming system.– uses Latin words – scientific names always written in italics – two parts are the genus name and species

descriptor

Tyto alba

A genus includes one or more physically similar species Species in the same genus are thought to be

closely related. Genus name is always capitalized.

A species descriptor is the second part of a scientific name. always lowercase always follows genus

name; never written alone

Scientific names help scientists to communicate. Some species have very similar common

names. Some species have many common names.

Linnaeus’ classification system

Each level is included in the level above it.

Levels get increasingly specific from kingdom to species

Linnaeus’ classification system Kingdom- Broadest category (i.e.:

Animalia) Phylum- (i.e.: Chordata) Class- (i.e.: Mammalia) Order- (i.e.: Carnivora) Family- (i.e.: Canidae) Genus- (i.e.: Canis) Species- Most specific (i.e.: Canis lupus)

The Linnaean classification system has limitations. Linnaeus taxonomy doesn’t account for

molecular evidence. The technology didn’t exist during

Linneaus’ time. Linnaean system based only on physical

similarities.

Physical similarities are not always the result of close relationships.

Genetic similarities more accurately show evolutionary relationships.

KEY CONCEPT Modern classification is based on evolutionary relationships.

Cladistics

= classification based on common ancestry

Phylogeny is the evolutionary history for a group of species. evidence from living species, fossil record,

and molecular data shown with branching tree diagrams

Cladistics

= is a common method to make evolutionary trees.

– classification based on common ancestry– species placed in order that they descended

from common ancestor

Cladistics

A cladogram is an evolutionary tree made using cladistics.

A clade is a group of species that shares a common ancestor.

– Each species in a clade shares some traits with the ancestor.

– Each species in aclade has traits that have changed.

• Derived characters are traits shared in different degrees by clade members.

DERIVED CHARACTER

– basis of arranging species in cladogram

– more closely related species share more derived characters

– represented on cladogram as hash marks

FOUR LIMBS WITH DIGITS

• Nodes represent the most recent common ancestor of a clade.

• Clades can be identified by snipping a branch under a node.

Molecular evidence reveals species’ relatedness. Molecular data may confirm

classification based on physical similarities.

Molecular data may lead scientists to propose a new classification.

• DNA is usually given the last word by scientists.

I will organize my ISN and take a pre-test on the upcoming unit.

CRITICAL THINKING QUESTIONS

Write and answer these below your classification chart:

1.On what basis did you initially separate organisms?

2.After the initial grouping, what characteristics did you use as distinguishing factors?

3.Specify the kingdoms that were noted in your separations (your very first division)

4. In terms of shared characteristics, what happens as you make more subdivisions?
