Unit 5 DB: Keeping Children Safe from Hazardous ItemsTo prepare for this discussion, you will first need to read this report from the non-profit organization, Safe Kids Worldwide, “Keeping Kids Safe Around Medicine: Insights and Implications.” It informs about the trends on children and medicine poisoning and outlines steps adults can take to prevent incidents:  https://post.blackboard.com/bbcswebdav/pid-7843922-dt-content-rid-60281347_1/xid-60281347_1 https://post.blackboard.com/bbcswebdav/pid-7843922… – Alternative FormatsYour initial post must include responses to the following:

Name three common possessions you might unthinkingly bring into an early childhood classroom that pose a serious risk to children (think about the contents of your pockets, purse, lunch bag, backpack, etc.)  Describe how these items could be hazardous to children and actions you could take to prevent potential accidents caused by this kind of oversite.

• Share your reaction to something you learned from reading the Keeping Kids Safe Around Medicine report.

For your replies to two classmates, do two of the following:

Compare your responses for ways to keep adult possessions out of the reach of the children.

Share an experience that you may have had keeping children safe while attending to several children at one time who are engaged in different activities or tasks.

Expand on what they shared about information from the Keeping Kids Safe Around Medicine report.

The discussion board in this class is different from others. For your initial response, you will still click on the Discussion Link, but instead of starting your thread, you will select “reply” and write your response in the textbox.  You need to respond to at least two other people, but you are encouraged to engage more if you would like!

Unit 5 Activity: DNA Mutation Simulation.   

Concepts of Biology DUE WEDNESDAY, 8-10 SENTENCES

Unit 5 Activity: DNA Mutation SimulationThis online simulation will allow you to explore the processes whereby DNA is read, copied to a message (transcription) and coded into a protein (translation). You can also change the sequence to create different kinds of mutations and track the impact of those changes through the processes of transcription and translation.Note that the ungraded activity will be quite useful when it comes to complete your unit 5 assignment. 

Unit 5 DB: Biotechnology and our Food.     Concepts of Biology DUE WEDNESDAY,8-10 SENTENCES
Unit 5 DB: Biotechnology and our FoodFrom genetic engineering to gene editing to nanotechnology, a number of biotechnology approaches are currently being used or being developed for use to improve the quality and quantity of our food supply. Is this a good idea? Select one of these biotechnology approaches and describe why this is a good idea, or why it is not a good idea. Use specific examples.In response to your peers: have you heard of the biotechnology use in food described by your fellow students? Can you find any additional information on this approach? Is this safe to do with our food?

The DNA in all of our cells is a set of instructions but like any set of instructions, it can actually do anything. Similar to how when you open that box containing the exercise bike you ordered online; you can read the instructions on how to assemble the bike as many times as you want, and those instructions won help you get in shape. You have to read the instructions and then build the bike; once itàbuilt, then you can use it. Similarly, once our DNA is read and the molecules or proteins that are coded for are built, then our cells can use them. In this assignment, you will write a paper describing the processes of DNA replication, transcription and translation.Refer to the attached document for complete instructions and grading rubric.
