  GUIDE QUESTIONS
  
  A. Analysis of the Research Project
  
  1. What is the real life problem being addressed by the project? State your assessment of the plausibility of the real life problem being presented by the researchers.
  
  2. What was the major objective of the researchers? Did it address the RLP?
  
  3. What are minor objectives of the study? Do they contribute to the accomplishment of the major objective? What significance do they play in strengthening the conclusions towards the end of the project execution?
  
  4. Research Design
  a. What are the control and experimental setups done in the study? Are they sufficient for coming up with reliable data for the project?
  
  b. What are the independent, dependent and extraneous variables? Are they correctly identified in the research methodology? What other variables, if any, should have been included in the conduct of the research?
  
  c. How was the data gathering procedure done? Are enough quantitative information generated? Were the procedures used for data gathering reliable? What improvements, if any, could be done in the procedure?
  
  5. Are the conclusions made by the researchers reflective of the information generated in the research process? How well did it address the real life problem presented?
  
  B. Presentation of the Project
  
  1. Are the information in the poster enough to be able to understand the project without consulting with the researchers? Identify the good points and the bad points of the poster in terms of content, and suggest ways to improve the contents.
  
  2. Are the contents of the poster readable? Identify the good and bad points in terms of visual effects of the poster, and suggest ways to improve the poster.

  Log book
  Update it with your accomplishments/progress for the STR-related things that you do, especially with regards to the development of your experiment. Attach all receipts, consultation information, etc.
  
  TORMentoring
  If you haven't yet, you have to give a presentation on your research/poster to your partner fourth year group, so they can give their comments and suggestions, plus take a picture with them in front of your poster. (Although that part is mostly for their requirement.)


• Bio
  Film Showing
  
  Answers to the guide questions are due on Friday, February 4. You can watch everything here or you can get a transcript from this site.
  
  

  
  Chapter 1. Passing On Your DNA
  1. Why is sexual reproduction more advantageous than cloning?
  
  Chapter 2. The Egg’s Journey
  2. Describe the path the egg takes after being released from the ovary.
  3. The video states that an egg will survive only a few hours if not fertilized. More recent information suggests that an egg will survive at least 24 hours and perhaps as long as 48 hours if not fertilized. How does that fact influence the most fertile time when couples are attempting to avoid pregnancy using the rhythm method?
  
  Chapter 3. The Sperm’s Journey
  4. What kind of obstacles will a sperm encounter once it enters the female?
  5. Where in the female reproductive tract does fertilization of the egg occur?
  
  Chapter 4. The First Two Weeks
  6. Why would more than 50% of all fertilized eggs not survive? What kind of problems could a fertilized egg encounter?
  7. How do identical twins form?
  8. How does the blastocyst prevent the mother’s immune system from destroying the developing embryo?
  
  Chapter 5. The Embryo Takes Shape
  9. Describe the three cell layers that develop and include what parts of the body those cell layers will become.
  10. How are genes turned on?
  
  Chapter 6. Messages in the Genes
  11. Where is the SRY gene found? What does it do? When does it function?
  12. How do fingers (and toes) become separated from each other in the developing fetus?
  
  Chapter 7. Feeding the Growing Fetus
  13. What is a placenta? What is the function of its villi?
  14. Do maternal and fetal blood mix?
  
  Chapter 8. The Third Trimester
  15. Why is human childbirth so much more dangerous than the births of other animals?

  Brain activity

See: YMSAT Schedule (from Cs) or from the SA.

For YMSAT, January 24-28:

• Bio Film Showing
  
  You can choose to go either to the one on Monday or the one on Tuesday, depending on your activities or the schedule you prefer.


• Amazing Race
  
  I'm not sure, pero most likely may bonus points sa subjects na covered ng race (i.e. Bio, Physics, Chem) kung mananalo ung section ;) So bring extra clothes to be sure, and uh, mentally prepare yourself?


• Quiz Bee
  
  Counted as a long test. The class should be divided into three to answer the Easy, Average, and Difficult questions.

  Make a water rocket! By groups of three, according to the groups you chose. You can test them with the launchers on Tuesday, at around three PM, and the actual Physics Olympics date is on Thursday.
  


• STR
  
  Deadliest deadline for your posters is on Monday, before 7.30AM. Look for your panel board number and location in the list outside the STR unit. Only use polymer tack. (I think Thea is supposed to buy for the class?) I think Ma'am is going to announce the partner groups for the mentoring thing, too.


• Chem
  
  The displays and video presentations are due. Make sure you have 30-40 pieces of your pamphlet available, and I guess a laptop to show your video (although you should probably have an OPF signed)? :O


• Physics Seminar
  
  Me, Gem, Marlo and.. meron pa bang iba? Seminar somewhere on Thursday, after the Olympics.


• Computron Competition
  
  Leif, Dario, Kenneth, and Janina, you're Sodium's representatives! Pero one of you has to be the alternate, so decide amongst yourselves na lang. The list of all the representatives are here, if you're interested. The mechanics are here.

• For those with failing grades, please go to the card-giving on Saturday from 9-12. For those who've already gotten their cards, don't forget the reply slips. For those who can't go on Saturday but don't have any failing marks, then you can get your card on Monday from Sir Mendoza. ;D

Hopefully Batch Shirts para uniform.

Di naman required ang PE shorts so pwede na shorts or pants.

For actual t-shirt color:

Video shooting bukas. Magdala na lang kayo ng blue at red na shirt. Tnx

Where: The Usual = Bahay ni Dennis

When: February 10 - 11 (or 10 - 12) [One month early ako nagpost para makapagpaalam kayo :))]

Why: End of Achievement Tests / Valentines Day / Kasi maraming projects bago mag YMSAT / Kasi mahirap na ang after PROM party (chaka from 12mn to mga 10am lang yun)

Who: Sodium :D. (Pero sabi ni Dennis Buong Batch daw invited)

Food: Deli. So magsimula na mag ipon.



Maganda sa 10 kasi half day lang dahil sa Achievement Test tapos walang pasok sa 11 dahil may gagawin ung mga teachers. Overnight sa Bahay ni Dennis tapos gising tayo ng mga 10am tapos TriNoMa tayo or Eastwood. Doon na rin tayo kumain at magstay the whole day. Tapos balik sa bahay ni Dennis para mag Overnight ulit :))

Ipapaalam pa ni Dennis 'to. Especially ung 2 night stay. Baka rin magsawa tayo sa isa't isa kung OverOverNight.

Gagawin sa Bahay ni Dennis: The Usual = Swimming, Gaming, Movie-Watching, Billiards(Sana), Cards.

Suggestion ko lang 'to. :))

@Dennis Magpaalam ka na!

Walang pasok sa Feb.3 dahil Chinese New Year i think.
Nagiba na ang mga Astrological Signs natin pero I could care less! :))
Last Quarter na so Let's Do well!
