Designing a health lunch bar
- Needs to be a balanced meal in a bar. http://kidshealth.org/parent/nutrition_center/healthy_eating/food_labels.html - How much you need in a healthy diet.
- Decide on the ingredients and make a food label using the food label creators online.
- Create a free account and sign in
- Go to analyze recipe.
- Select the ingredients and analyze how much would be in 100 grams.
- If it is not a balanced meal change some of the ingredients.

The eye
Eye dissection time :)
What are the structures of the mammalian eye and how do they function?
The mammalian eye consists of many specialized cells and tissues that make up several different structures. In this investigation, you identify the structures of a cow eye and learn their functions.
Materials
• Safety goggles • Paper towels
• Preserved cow’s eye • Vinyl or latex gloves
• Forceps • Dissection tray
• Dissection probes • Dissection scissors
Parts of the eye

Conclusion and Evaluation Guide
Conclusion
Paragraph 1: Purpose,
procedure and hypothesis:
1st sentence: Summarise what you found. In this lab the researchers found that…
2nd sentence: Summarise the procedure (what you did)
The experiment was
completed using … to see what happened when…
OR The experiment
was performed by… in order to ….
3rd sentence: Summarise your hypothesis and say whether your
hypothesis was proved correct. (NOT Yes my hypothesis was right but the
hypothesis was proven correct or incorrect)
The researchers predicted that…
because…. OR The researchers predicted
that if … then…
And if your
hypothesis was correct:
This confirmed (or
contradicted) our hypothesis
Paragraph 2: Background information - the science behind
the experiment including vocabulary about the lab. (Think about the amount of light that is being blocked)
Paragraph 3: Summarize your
results
1.
The experiment showed that....... DO NOT list EVERY bit of
data just the main points or the overall patterns.
Eg -What happens to the shadow as the light
source gets closer to the block?
Explain the pattern (trend
seen)– use examples from your results
Were there any results that did not fit the trend/difference
in the shadow? Suggest why this may have happened?
EVALUATION
What
went well in your experiment
|
What
went wrong, what happened - how may it have affected your results?

How would you change this?
