1.
Review the Learning Targets for each activity. They are the guides to what you are supposed to be
learning. If you don’t know them, then make sure you go back, review, and/or get help. Help can
come from the book, your science notebook, peers, online research, or Mr. Groom.
2.
Use the online book. Look at the analysis questions for each of the activities. Can you answer
them? If not, go through your materials and review. If you can’t answer them, get help!
3.
Go through your notebook. Carefully review highlighted vocabulary words. Do you understand
them? How do they fit in to the Learning Targets?

I can explain how simple inherited traits
are passed from parents to their
offspring and future generations.
I can use a model to explain how a
scientific process works.
Associated Vocabulary/Concepts
I can appreciate that Mendel was ahead
of his time when developing his ideas of
heredity.
I can explain who Gregor Mendel was and
what he discovered about heredity by
breeding pea plants.
