Students determine if some observable traits are shared by classmates and
Explain:
recognize when genetic material is passed from one generation to the next by genes
which are stored within chromosomes in the nucleus

Pearson Lesson 4.1 What is Heredity PowerPoint
Students elaborate on the differences of sexual vs asexual.
Objective/Key Understanding:
We will be able to define heredity as the passage
of genetic instructions from one generation to the
next generation.
We will compare the results of uniform or diverse
offspring from sexual reproduction or asexual
reproduction.
Closing Product/ Question/ Informal Assessment:
Stop & Check for Understanding—High Level Questions
How many chromosomes do humans have? How many chromosomes does the
offspring get from each parent?
What would happen if there were only one parent instead of two?
Small Group Purposeful Talk Question Stems:
Critical Writing Prompt:
Stemscopes (Evaluate) Heredity:
Look at the following picture.
Think about the similarities and
differences between a parent and
their offspring. Explain how
characteristics are transmitted from
parents to their offspring.
Give examples of some internal or external traits that you received
from your mom and/or dad.
