NEW BLOG ALERT; How Can We Determine If Something or Someone is Alive Or Not?

Is My Sister a Walker (name of zombies on walking dead)?

Have you ever wondered if the people in your family were really from outer space or friendly zombies?  I sure have questioned why my sister consistently gets on my last nerve very other month and still remains my sister.  That explains that I am alive because I am responding to my environment by being irritated about "sibling stuff", but what about her.  The Characteristics of Life helped me generate some evidence which determined that she was in fact human, and not a walker #walkingdead.  Oh well, life moves on and now you will also provide evidence that supports that a family member is actually a living thing by using the Characteristics of Life as your guide.  May the force be with you!  Create a short video clip that uses the 7 characteristics of life to determine if something/someone is intact alive.  You may use your family pet, your cousin, little brother, mom, a house plant, etc.  Have fun and make sure that you use a willing participant.  Your video clip cannot exceed 2 minutes and must use appropriate language and respect towards one another.  Use the following script to guide you through the experience but feel free to make your own clean and neat version.

Video script must include but is not limited to;

1. Cells.  I know my mother is a living thing and has cells because her skin is radiant and glows..... Mom, did you know that new skin cells are created every 7 days?  This is just an example,  you will have a better example I am sure.

2.  Energy/Metabolism.  I know my little brother has energy used through food he metabolizes because he likes to jump in the bed, run around, do jumping jacks, sing. etc....please be creative here and have your family member act out their version of energy.  You and your sibling could race to see who is faster.  Again, just my thoughts.

3.  All living things reproduce.  I am completely convinced that my dad/mom can reproduce because I am her offspring.  My grandmother is an example of a living thing because she and my grandfather had 8 children and one of them is my father.

4.  DNA.  "Everyone says that I look just like my daddy/grandma because...or I am so grateful that my mother has a great nose because she passed here genes to me and our noses look alike.  This is a great moment to show off a trait that you and your family member have in common.

5.  Respond to environment/stimuli.  Whenever I tickle my little sister, she laughs or whenever I pinch my little brother, he says ouch, or whenever I kiss my grandmother on the cheek, she smiles.(you must act this one out on the video and please be creative and respectful).

6. Grow and Develop.  My brother had a short hair cut 2 years ago and now his locks are past his shoulders.  Hair growth is just one example but there are many more that you may use.

7.  Evolution.  This is when your family member talks about you and how you have matured since the first day that you attended SEED DC.  They may discuss how you have evolved and your grades have  improved or your attitude has changed for the better.  Allow them to reflect on a moment that shows evolution within you as a student and citizen.

Again these are just examples of statements you may use but you must demonstrate an example of all seven characteristics of life in order to receive full credit.  You must tape your video with your family member.  This assignment is due on or before Wednesday, September 23, 2015, 11:59pm.
Make sure your blog is titled , Intro to Life Video with _______(your name here) and please be sure to label it Characteristics of Life.  Failure to label will deduct points from your total score

Osmosis and Diffusion (Nunu)

A Hypertonic Solution Is when the molecules outside of the cell are higher than the concentration in cytosol. Ensure has more nutrients than water.

Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. When I spray my "smell good" on me every morning, particles are first bonded together then the molecules soon distribute evenly, causing a state of equilibrium to exist.

This is an example of Passive Transport because I'm not giving the jar energy

The Semi-Permeable acts like a gate keeper by allowing certain molecules through

A Hypotonic Solution is when the molecules outside the cell are lower than the concentration in the cytosol. By having more solvent than solute it is therefore a Hypotonic Solution.

All About Me (Nunu)

The Muscular System is the framework of the body which consists of bones and tissues that protects and supports the body organs.

Growth is the increase in the body size. From my 5th grade graduation to high school, I have grew into a mature and sophisticated young man.

The Heart is an organ and part of the Circulatory System; it transport blood throughout the body. My God son and daughter is my heart because they mean the world to me and I wouldn't be able to live without them.

Osmosis and Diffusion (Ariel Chapman)

Hypertonic : The food coloring on the outside haven't entered the cell membrane to change the color of the egg. The solution of the food coloring would change from a high concentration solution to a low concentration solution once entered the cell membrane. (picture 1)
Hypotonic : All the ingredients that's mixed in the vinegar is equally shared in the mixture until equilibrium is established. (picture 2)
Diffusion : The movement of molecules from an area of higher to an area of lower concentration without any energy input. Diffusion will eventually cause the concentration of molecules to be the same throughout the space the molecules occupy, causing a state of equilibrium. The smell of the perfume will eventually spread throughout the room equally. (picture 3)
Osmosis : The eggs are in a solution of vinegar. In a few days the vinegar will eventually enter the cell membrane and the solution will go from high concentration to a low concentration solution. (picture 4)
Semi-permeable : The window screen allows certain substances to be transfered  into and out the window. (picture 5)

Osmosis and Diffusion (Tiffany Ben)

A hypertonic solution is when the molecules outside the cell have a higher concentration of cyotsol. the mixture being made (Bottom) will be poured in the jar w\full of eggs. the eggs will absorb the solution and will cause the eggs to pickle.

A Semi Permeable Membrane only allows certain things to enter into the cell. The wire that is inside the window in schools is a great representation of a semi permeable membrane. It allows only small things to get threw, in others words it is a filter. 

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across the membrane. The eggs were submerged in a vinegar solution. In a couple days the eggs will be pickled showing how the water molecules spread across the eggs membrane.

Diffusion is the movement of particles from high concentration to low concentration.

The solution is infused with red food coloring. The longer the eggs are submerged in the solution the more the color that will take to the egg.

A hypotonic solution has a low concentration of cytosol. This means that it has more solvent in it. the bowl is filled with solvent and contains a non semi permeable membrane.

Osmosis and Diffusion (N'Dia Vines)

This "gate" on the window is a semi permeable membrane. It is a semi permeable membrane because it only allows certain substances to be transferred into and out the room (cell).

This jar of pickled solution and eggs is an example of osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi permeable membrane. In this case, the semi pereamble membrane are the eggs and the pickled solution is moving across the eggs. 

This jar of eggs displays an image of a hypotonic solution. A hypotonic solution is when molecules outside the cell are lower than the concentration in the cytosil. There is more water or pickling solution in this case than food coloring so   it is a hypotonic solution. 

This display of me spraying Glade, shows the vocabulary word Diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration without any energy input. I did not have to help the spray spread around the room or push it to come out. The spray spreaded around and reached equilibrium itself without any addition energy. 

This picture of a kool-aid jammer is an example of an hypertonic solution. A hypertonic solution is when molecules outside the cell are higher than the concentration in the cytosol. It is the complete opposite of a hypotonic solution. This kool-aid jammer has more artificial flavoring (solute) than water, so therefore it is a hypertonic solution.

Osmosis and Diffusion (Saiswan Ingram)

1.Semi Permeable- which allows certain to things to be transferred, my picture shows a window screen which allows air to come in but not bugs when you open the window.

2.Hypertonic-  is water being diffused out of to establish equilibrium, with Pepsi sugar and acid is added to diffuse the water taste so that it can be become a soda.

3.Hypotonic- water being diffused into a cell in order to establish equilibrium. Water being sucked into a sponge is a great example of this.

4.Osmosis- molecules moving in order to create a low concentration of water in the picture of eggs it's showing you a high concentration of whatever that will eventually will become a low concentration due to the amount of solution.

5.Diffusion - allows a high concentration to become an low concentration and to make sure that the substance is equal throughout. With these eggs it shows that the eggs are being equally diffused into the solution and solvent.

Osoimosis and Diffusion- Jasmyn Hill

This Window represents Semi- Peremable because the holes are to allow certain molecules through. 

Diffusion is the movement of particles from high concentration to low concentration. The solution is in red food coloring dye, the longer the solution is in the solution the more the color will take to the eggs. 

Osomosis is the movement of water molecules. The eggs are in a vinegar solution after a few days the eggs will began to pickle representing the water molecules spread across the egg. 

Hypotonic solution has a low concentration of cytosol, that has more solvent in the solution. All of the ingredients that's in the picture will be poured in the Jar with the eggs. Longer you keep the solution in the jar with the eggs the more pickling will happen. 

This picture represents hypertonic because it has a higher concentration of sugar than water.
