MS-LS1-4 Use argument based on empirical and scientific reasoning to support an explanation for how characteristic animal behaviors and specialized plant structures
affect the probability of successful reproduction of animals and plants respectively.
MS-LS 1-5 Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence how genetic factors influence the growth of organisms
MS-LS3-1 Develop and use a model to describe why structural changes to genes (mutations) located on chromosomes may affect proteins and may result in harmful,
beneficial, or neutral effects to the structure and function of the organism
MS-LS3-2 Develop and use a model to describe why asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information and sexual reproduction results in
offspring with genetic variation
Learning Targets: ALL OF THEM!!!
Create A Flower: Your winterbreak project is to create a flower. You can use a flower that exists,
combine flower types and fruit types, or you can make up your own completely unique flower.
-Your pictures need to include 1. Close up on Your Flower 2. The plant that grows your flower: (tree,
bush, vine, individual flower stem in a garden or grass) 3. The way your flower spreads seeds (fruit,
acorns/nuts, or wind riders) 4. Your pollinator (animal or wind).
-Your flower can be perfect or imperfect! If your flower is imperfect, make sure you include close up
pictures of both the male and female flower.
-The front of your project needs to include pictures and very brief definitions
-The back of your project needs to include more complete definitions that reach level 3’s and 4’s on the
rubric
-YOU DON’T HAVE TO USE MY SENTENCE STARTERS. You can type, or write, you definitions on a
separate WHITE piece of paper.
-Your flower must cover 2 pages min (suggestion: 1 page flower, 1 page plant-tree/bush/vine etc.)
