Science+and+the+Courts

WIki Unit on Science and the Courts Day 1 - 7/19
 * TASK**:

Students will work in small groups to produce a collaborative wiki space that illustrate an understanding of topics discussed in the unit, how to research court cases, and explain how science applies to the American justice system in the past and present. The wiki space should incorporate the use of at least three technology strategies that you have learned during the technology program.

= Day 1 Objectives: =

Students will be Able to : 1. Define Evolution in their own words 2. Evaluate social, cultural, and political events of the early 1900s

Opener:
Watch the short video below and in your virtual notebook:
 * Identify the objective of the video
 * Pose 1-2 questions you have
 * Find a similar image, event or topic to represent what you watched

I think the objective of this video is something about evolution. Of how it grows or get advanced.

What does this have to do with the courts? What can evolution affect the courts?

3 Most Important Words :

Thinking Discovery Fossils



3 Minute Pause -Key points :

Similarities in the wound How we change Process of evolution

Thoughts :

The bigger the animal the longer it takes Baby mice take some evolution outside the wound

Questions :

So if you have more babies, they take the rest of evolution outside the wound,for animals?



Connections :

I learned evolution last year, but there were things I didn't learn about. The words that I just added, sounds more on what we are talking about. I like the colors, I choose better than I did last time.

I think it is a negative and positive sign based on what I saw, because, well for the negative, people were racist based on the color of their skin, and for the positive sign is that without the invention of the car, it wouldn't be that much cooler today.



Yes, I do think the scientific research and Might be in conflict with some values and ideals of the 1920s because, I think they are problems similar to the events in the 1900s, fro example racist people, and selling drugs.

1. I think it is similar, because for example the Arizona immigration law, about immigrants moving into the United States, and with the Chinese Exclusion Act. And Probably some drugs that people are selling illegally, in the U.S., Almost like the Prohibition.

2. About the Prohibition, I wondered how the army get the illegal drugs. Is it legal today? Why would they do that, when they are drunk, and there is a possiblity they that they are going to get killed. Why would they do that?

= Science Clashes with Society in the 1920's: = = Tennessee v. John Scopes (1925) = = "Scopes Monkey Trial" = = Day 2 Objectives: = =**// Students will be Able to //** : = = 1. Explain the controversy of teaching evolution in schools = = 2. Identify the different views about teaching evolution in schools = = 3. Evaluate the impact of the Scopes trial in America = == 1. What was the message of this cartoon clip?

I think the message of this cartoon clip is that, I think it happened the same way the time Darwin was alive when he stated the facts about evolution. Losing business of the church.

2. Do you think something like this could actually happen?

I think could actually happen because people can decide to only listen to the bible, and not the belief of science.

== == Summarizing the trial :

1. William Jennings Bryan : T he prosecuter of the Scopes Trial up against John Scopes.

American Civil Liberities Union : R elatively new during 1920s and was not known around the world.

John Scopes : W as a Biology Substitute Teacher born in 1900 who aspired to be a Coach. He was charged with violating the Butler's act which prohibited the teaching of any lesson that insulted or defied the Divine design and creationism.

Judge Raulston : Judge Raulston was the judge of the court case, Tennessee vs. John Scopes, but even though the jury had the final decision in the verdict of the case.

2. My perspective on each person's/organization's that had teaching evolution is that they have facts that we needed to know, so it is very simple to understand.

3. I don't if I agree with the trail, becasue i wouldn't know what will happen, I don't know what Darrow will plan out doing, since he said the Scopes was guilty, but if everything is according to his plan, to make him not guilty, I guess I would agree with the outcome of the trial.



My Reflection On my Glog :

Well I had to start over with my Glog since I lost internet and never saved it. But what I had on there I put up links and pictures that tell who Clarence Darrow is and John Scope is, and the frame around John is something that happened in America, so that's why I put it there. I also put up there what the Scopes Trial is. I put it up there becasue so whoever is reading it know what I am talking about. On what I learned when the people didn't want change, how would they suppose to know what will happen next, when something changes? I wondered why John Scopes didn't speak becasue I thought he was the main character on the case.

=Day 3 - 7/21= =Science and the Justice System Today​=

Day 3: Objectives
//Students will be able to:// Explain how their Glog/Slide represents the signifcance of events that occurred during the Scopes Trial Identify and explain the connection between science and the justice system in today's world

10 word activity : The science and religon is something to believe not to fight.
