=**ACIS 1 TRIMESTER 2: PROJECT**= =Welcome to a place where we can collaborate and organize resources that will help us to= =better understand studies in science.=

__BEST WIKI CONTEST!__ To spice things up a bit, we will be having a best wiki contest, with you (students) all getting a vote. You may only vote for one wiki, but it may be chosen from any of the pages here, even if that person is not from your class. You may not vote for yourself. There will be prizes for first, second, and third. To pick the Best Overall Page, you should consider three major things (starting from the most important): 1. Is it informative? – Does it clearly answer the questions asked? 2. Is it aesthetically pleasing? – Does it look good? 3. Is it creative? – Does it have interesting content displayed in a creative way?

=**__//Your Task!//__**=

ACIS 1 Trimester 2- Research Project Students will create a “wiki” based on one of the topics listed below. Wiki must link to a __minimum of 10__ __other pages__. Create a wiki page that takes the viewer on a __historical journey__ related to your topic.

__ Include: __ This project will be due **March 8th.**
 * 6 historical events that span past-present-future
 * Current events related to your topic
 * Controversial issues/pros and cons/obstacles
 * Bioethics - moral standards for issues pertaining to science
 * Prediction of what your topic will “look like” in the future

__ Standards are: __ **__B1.2C__** Develop an understanding of a scientific concept by accessing information from multiple sources. Evaluate the scientific accuracy and significance of the information. **__B1.2E__** Evaluate the future career and occupational prospects of science fields. **__B1.2i__** Explain the progression of ideas and explanations that leads to science theories that are part of the current scientific consensus or core knowledge. **__B1.2k__** Analyze how science and society interact from a historical, political, economic, or social perspective.

=**__Possible Topics from Trimester 2:__**=
 * 1) Viruses and Bacteria (and Diseases)
 * 2) Cells (organelles and their functions, plant vs. animal cells)
 * 3) Stem Cells (possibilities, research, etc.)
 * 4) DNA
 * 5) Minority Scientists
 * 6) Cell Cycle/Mitosis
 * 7) Cell Differentiation
 * 8) Cancer
 * 9) Meiosis/Karyotypes/Chromosome Disorders
 * 10) Ethics in Scientific Research
 * 11) Other (teacher approval)
