Objectives:
Guided &
Independent
Practices:
Monday
12/1
We will analyze the results of uniform or diverse offspring from sexual and asexual reproduction
Guided
Practice:
Teacher will introduce vocabulary for this unit and review sexual and asexual reproduction.
Independent
Practice:
Students will engage in different activities to help them acquire the necessary vocabulary for this unit.
Students will briefly discuss the different types of asexual reproduction and the characteristics.
Tuesday
12/2
We will recognize that traits are governed in
DNA found in the genes which are found on chromosomes which are in the nucleus
Guided
Practice:
Teacher will give real world examples of how dominant and recessive genes determine appearance.
Teacher will also introduce activity.
Independent
Practice:
Students will determine some dominant and recessive phenotypes that they’ve inherited along with graphing that data.
Wednesday
12/3
We will define heredity as the passing of genetic instructions from one generation to the next
Guided
Practice:
Teacher will monitor students practicing their skills in determining phenotypes from acquired genotypes through various activities.
Independent
Practice:
Students will participate in different activities where they create different objects from different genotypes they’ve acquired.
They will see how probability plays in to determining one’s genotype.
Thursday
12/4
We will define heredity as the passing of genetic instructions from one generation to the next
Guided
Practice:
Teacher will monitor students practicing their skills in determining phenotypes from acquired genotypes through various activities.
Independent
Practice:
Students will participate in different activities where they create different objects from different genotypes they’ve acquired. They will see how probability plays in to determining one’s genotype.
Friday
12/5
We will define heredity as the passing of genetic instructions from one generation to the next
Guided
Practice:
Teacher will facilitate students practicing using punnett squares to determine phenotypes of offspring.
Independent
Practice:
Students will work in groups to complete monohybrid and dihybrid
(PREAP) crosses. We will also look at blood types and how blood transfusions can work.
STUDENTS will also show mastery of TEK
7.14B while taking
Assessment: Journal entry CFA Thumbs UP Exit ticket I have, Who has
Closure: I will be able to describe the characteristics of asexual reproduction.
I will be able to differentiate between genotype and phenotype.
I will be able to explain how
DNA is arranged in our bodies.
I will be able to explain traits get passed on or omitted from one generation to the next.
I will be able to predict the outcome of any cross when dealing with one trait where codominance doesn’t exist.
Please realize that this is just a plan and may change, nothing is set in stone. Plans may change if there is an unexpected absences, I find more effective material, technology or copier malfunctions, etc.
I thank you for your understanding; everything I do is in the best interest of the students!!
