4. Explicit Exploration Lead and Analytical Chemistry Orozco collaboration: What do we owe the students beyond data? Readings in ethics (The Needleman controversy) = 1 lab class

5. Implicit Exploration QC, statistics, data recording, methodology, collaboration with Orozco How do we know? Public policy vs Analytical Chemistry? Red potatos vs White potatos Pb in tooth enamel: low vs high IQ: The Needleman controversy

6. The Orozco and Loyola Partnership Orozco Students Sampling Combined Students What is Lead? Making Templates Field Trip to Loyola (aborted) Lead and You Graphing Week 1 2 3 4 Loyola Students Digestions Analysis

7. Week 1 • What is lead? What is lead in? • Making a template • Figuring out which bags we will use • 4. Practicing using the template

11. Week 3 “ownership” requires weekly activities “ethics” requires education Loyola Student Designed Curriculum • Slide show on public health • Slide show also discusses the analytical procedure • Active materials • - crossword puzzle • - word search

15. Across • the system of pipes and other apparatus for conveying water, liquid wastes, etc., as in a building • the fluid that circulates and carries oxygen throughout the human body • being placed at risk • 8 the quality of degree of being toxic or harmful to plants or animal life • 9. the introduction of harmful substances or products into the environment • a mixture of pigment and liquid • 12. food, eating healthy • 14. a pain located in the head • 15. the age group affected most by lead poisoning • 17. President on the $20 bill • a transparent, odorless, tasteless liquid, a compound of hydrogen and oxygen, H20, that constitutes rain, oceans, lakes, rivers, etc. • . to take ill through eating • Down • 2. a heavy, comparatively soft, malleable, bluish‑gray metal. A toxic metal, that has been widely used in paints, plumbing and fixtures, and in some water supply service lines • 3. composer thought to have had lead poisoning • 5. the portion of the earth's surface consisting of dirt • 6. the air, water, minerals, organisms, and all other external factors surrounding and affecting a given organism at any time • 7. dry particle of earth • a table illustrating the periodic system, in which the chemical elements are shown in related groups • . the process of preparing the samples by breaking down the baby wipes into a substance suitable testing • 13. a silver‑white divalent metal found in limestone, chalk, milk • 16. the science that deals with the composition and properties of substances and various elementary forms of matter

19. Week 4 Graphing the data In practice we found that students were not prepared to make Histograms. We intend to create one session around graphing Candy.

26. Explicit Ethics Lab How do we know? How do we have confidence? What do we owe our collaborators? What do we owe science? Is it the same? How do we engage in scientific dispute? Reading of a series of articles exchanged between Needlemen and his detractors What ethical reasoning systems do we apply to explain the behavior of Needleman and his detractors?
