6H(S): SWBAT describe how
techniques such as DNA
fingerprinting, genetic
modifications, and chromosomal
analysis are used to study the
genomes of organisms.
New Material: Pedigree Chart Notes
Guided Practice: Create a pedigree chart based
on the family and their traits given to you.
Assessment and Closing: Exit ticket will be the final
product of the pedigree chart that was created.
Genetics Test Wednesday/Thursday
November 19th/20th
6F(R): SWBAT predict possible
outcomes of various genetic
combinations such as monohybrid
crosses, dihybrid crosses, and
non-Mendelian inheritance.
6H(S): SWBAT describe how
techniques such as DNA
fingerprinting, genetic
modifications, and chromosomal
analysis are used to study the
genomes of organisms.
6G(S): Recognize the significance
of meiosis to sexual reproduction.

Warm-up: Review Pedigree Chart Homework if not
completed in class Monday.
Guided Practice: Students complete discussions
on the following topics for review: GMO’s,
Karyotypes, Pedigree Charts, DIhybrids, Sexlinked, Blood typing, and Meiosis
Genetics Test Wednesday/Thursday
November 19th/20th
7C Analyze and evaluate how
natural selection produces
change in populations, not
individuals.
7C Analyze and evaluate how
natural selection produces
change in populations, not
individuals.
7D Analyze and evaluate how the
elements of natural selection
including inherited variation, the
potential of a population to
produce more offspring than can
survive, and a finite supply of
environmental resources result in
differential reproductive success.

New Material: What is natural selection?
Natural selection notes and vocabulary.
Guided Practice: Students will be given a handout
including the 3 different types of selections
(Directional, disruptive, and stabilizing). This will
help students to understand how natural selection
can occur.
Opening: How does survival of the fittest relate to
natural selection?
New Material: Natural Selection Notes, Part 2
-(Inherited Variation, Producing More Offspring
Than Can Survive, Finite Supply of Environmental
Resources)
Guided Practice: STAAR Practice Questions
Genetics Project due TODAY
Plans are subject to change to support the needs of the classroom.
