Q4. In debating this issue, which of the following arguments could be made drawing on scientific evidence (S) and which could be made that does not draw on scientific evidence (N)
The arguments for introducing dingos based on the experience of wolf introduction are possibly flawed because of the different environment conditions. The dingo should not be considered a native species because 'it was originally brought into Australia by the indigenous population Dingos, if allowed to roam in packs, regulate their own numbers and should not N pose a danger to farm animals Dingos have important cultural value for the indigenous people who run the park

Run the simulation to collect data based on the information below. Click on a choice, select data in the table, and then type an explanation to answer the question. The simulation allows you to choose 20%, 40% or 60^ for air humidity. Do you expect that it would be safe or unsafe to run while drinking water with the air humidity at 50% and air temperature of 40°C? * Select two rows of data from the table to support your answer. Explain how this data supports your answer
unsafe
Most migratory birds gather in one area and then migrate in large groups rather than individually. This behavior is a result of evolution. Which of the following is the best scientific explanation for the evolution of this
Birds that migrated individually or in small groups were less likely to survive and have offspring
John and Rose are researching cigarette smoking for a school project. Read John's research on the right. Then respond to the question below. Select two reasons from the list below that suggest why cigarette companies could claim there was no evidence that tar from cigarettes smoke caused cancer in humans.
johns research - In the 1950s research studies found the tar from cigarette smoke caused cancer in mice. Tobacco companies claimed there was no evidence that smoking caused cancer in humans. They also began to produce filter-tip
- experiments were carried out with mice
- humans may react differently from mice
Paleontologists have researched various attributes of dinosaurs and provided you with data within a visualization tool. This tool allows you to look at the relationship between various attributes of dinosaurs. One claim made by paleontologists is that dinosaurs got lighter over time, and they produced the plot below to prove this. Is there a strong relationship between the weight of dinosaurs and the age in which they lived?
NO
There is opposition to the suggestion from farmers and tourist agencies, They fear the dingos will attack sheep on their farms. Also, they will present a danger to tourists walking in the park, Q3. The following objections have been written in media releases, Which of these could be investigated by scientists?
A runner runs for an hour on a hot and humid day (air temperature 35°C, air humidity of 60%) without drinking any water. This runner is at risk of both dehydration and heat stroke. What would be the effect of drinking water during the run on the runner's risk of dehydration and heat stroke? * Select two rows of data from the table to support your answer.
drinking water would reduce the risk of dehydration but not heat stroke
Identify a factor that might make the volunteers' counts of migrating birds inaccurate,
habitat change
what is smoking?
the action or habit of inhaling and exhaling the smoke of tobacco by sucking on the end of a lit cigarette, cigar, pipe, etc.
what is the biggest type of dinosaur
titanosaur (long neck dinosaur)
Which of the following is shown by the diagram?
-Fox and cat populations will decrease because they are preyed on by the dingo
-Dingos will have a direct effects on numbers of foxes and cats and large herbivores
-Plant biomass will increase because dingos will reduce the numbers of herbivores.
Run the simulation to collect data based on the information below. Click on a choice, select data in the table, and then type an explanation to answer the question. When the air humidity is 60%, what is the effect of an increase in air temperature on sweat volume after a one-hour run? * Select two rows of data from the table to support your answer
sweat volume increases
Which statements about the golden plover's migration do the maps support? give one
The maps show that northward migratory routes of some golden plovers are different from southward migratory routes
possible effects of smoking in our body
lung cancer is the main effect but there are a lot more possible effects of smoking like heart disease, stroke, cataracts, and etc.
do dinosaurs get lighter overtime?
it depends on their eating habit and their habitat
Select which of the following effects are shown by the diagram if dingos are reintroduced:
- Small vertebrate numbers will increase
-Large herbivore numbers will decrease
-Plant biomass will increase
Give example of benefits of running
Improved cardiovascular health, stronger bones and muscles, and better mental health. It can also improve immune system
Which statements about the golden plover's migration do the maps support? give one
The maps show that migratory golden plovers spend their winter in areas that are south and southwest of their breeding or nesting grounds
