(17) In 1823, Captain John Cleves Symmes appeared (18) before (19) Congress. He
wanted money for a ship and a few (20) extremely brave scientists to make a trip to the
North Pole. (21) You see, Symmes (22) believed that the earth was (23) hollow. There’s
more. Not only (24) his research but also his documents seemed to prove that the (25) earth
was open at the poles. (26) He was convinced that the (27) inside of the earth (28) was “a
warm, (29) rich land, stocked (30) generously with (31) thrifty vegetables and animals—if not
men.” Symmes’s proposal was defeated on the (32) House floor. Years (33) later, however,
he (34) won the support of President John Quincy Adams. (35) Unfortunately, before
Captain Symmes could set sail, Andrew Jackson came (36) into office. He (37) immediately
squashed Captain Symmes’s plan. People continued to believe Symmes’s ideas until Robert
Peary (38) reached the North Pole in 1909 (39) and found (40) no hole!

BIOLOGY SUMMER ASSIGNMENT (ALL STUDENTS) – Living Environment
Students
PART 1
Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the
body. Serving as a sort of repair system for the body, they can theoretically divide without
limit to replenish other cells as long as the person or animal is still alive. When a stem cell
divides, each new cell has the potential to either remain a stem cell or become another type
of cell with a more specialized function, such as a muscle cell, a red blood cell, or a brain cell.
Visit http://stemcells.nih.gov/info/basics/ for information on stem cells.

5. Who has the authority to decide if stem cells of an embryo are used?
6. Would you be in favor of stem cell technology if you or a close family member
had a medical condition that stem cell therapy might benefit?
7. How might you feel if you were a research scientist?
8. How might you feel if you were a religious leader?
PART 2
Constructing Line Graphs
1. Use the information from the data table to set up your x-axis and y-axis.
 First column is usually the independent variable, and is plotted on the
x-axis (horizontal axis).
 The next column is usually the dependent variable, and is plotted on
the y-axis (vertical axis).
2. Mark an appropriate scale on each axis. Make sure the scales will accommodate all
of your data.
 Number the divisions of the scales
 Label the axes.
3. Plot the data on the grid. For the Living Environment Regents, you must place a
circle around each of your data points.
4. Connect the points to form a smooth line or curve. If the graph will contain more
than one line of data, label the lines or use different symbols for the data points (be
sure to include a key).
5. Write and appropriate title for the graph.
6. Notice any trends in your graph (increasing, decreasing, remains the same, cycle, etc)
Practice: Amber counted the total number of leaves in a group of duckweed plants over a
five-day period. The data she collected are shown in the table below.
A. Construct a line graph using your data table. Be sure to give
your graph a title, label each axis, make appropriate scales,
plot your data points, circle each point, and connect your
points.
B. Draw a conclusion for Amber’s investigation based on your
line graph.
