The First Peoples of BC have always had a close relationship with the land.
"Traditional Ecological Knowledge is, above all, local knowledge based in people’s relationship to place. It is also holistic, not subject to the segmentation of contemporary science. Knowledge about a specific plant may include understanding its life cycle, its spiritual connections, its relationship to the seasons and with other plants and animals in its ecosystem, as well as its uses and its stories."
- Science First Peoples Teacher Resource Guide by First Nations Education Steering Committee
To support seasonal food gathering and assess the health of plants and animals, First Peoples closely monitor seasonal changes and climate. Reliable information of weather patterns, ocean currents, and tides is crticial to safely conduct seasonal food gathering along the coast. Currently, there have been increased observations of environmental change, which is of concern to First Peoples and their relationship…

- Cholesterol Cholesterol in human blood is necessary, but too much can lead to health problems. There are three main types of cholesterol: HDL (high-density lipoproteins), LDL (low-density lipoproteins), and VLDL (very low-density lipoproteins). HDL is considered “good” cholesterol; LDL and VLDL are considered “bad” cholesterol. A standard fasting cholesterol blood test measures total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. These numbers are used to estimate LDL and VLDL, which are difficult to measure directly. Your doctor recommends that your combined LDL/VLDL cholesterol level be less than 130 milligrams per deciliter, your HDL cholesterol level be at least 60 milligrams per deciliter, and your total cholesterol level be no more than 200 milligrams per deciliter. (a) Write a system of linear inequalities for the recommended cholesterol levels. Let x represent the HDL cholesterol level, and let y represent the combined LDL VLDL cholesterol level. (b) Graph the system of inequalities from part (a). Label any vertices of the solution region. (c) Is the following set of cholesterol levels within the recommendations? Explain. LDL/VLDL: 120 milligrams per deciliter HDL: 90 milligrams per deciliter Total: 210 milligrams per deciliter (d) Give an example of cholesterol levels in which the LDL/VLDL cholesterol level is too high but the HDL cholesterol level is acceptable. (e) Another recommendation is that the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol be less than 4 (that is, less than 4 to 1). Identify a point in the solution region from part (b) that meets this recommendation, and explain why it meets the recommendation.arrow_forwardObservational studies allow: population inference neither population nor causal inference both population and causal inference causal inferencearrow_forward8- What are independent and dependent variables?

- "Coffee drinkers often claim that the caffeine in the coffee makes them more alert. A researcher wonders if this enhanced alertness is merely an illusion or if caffeine actually makes people more alert. To test the effect of caffeine on alertness, the researcher asks people to drink one cup of caffeinated coffee, one cup of plain water, one cup of caffeinated water, or one cup of decaffeinated coffee. After drinking the beverage each participant was given an electroencephalogram (EEG). The researcher hypothesized that the caffeinated beverages would result in greater electrical activity than the non-caffeinated beverages. Which of the following would be most likely to increase the size of the treatment effect in this study? " Only use people in the study who are between the ages of 25 and 35 rather than 25 and 75. Increase the amount of beverage participants drink from one cup to two cups.
