Students will have a
short powepoint
presented to them with
definitions of the
language of genetics.
Terms and Meanings.
Explore
Fun activity using the
previous definitions they
learned as well as there
mono- and di-hybrid
cross skills.
Explain
*Pre-History. Man’s best
friend (wolf), Native
Americans, chemical’s in
blood.
* the transmission of
traits from parent to
offspring
* the different forms a
gene may have for a trait.
(Separate into sex cells)
*The study of how alleles
affect generations
*offspring the study of
the structure and
function of chromosomes
and genes
Explain
Further discussion what
the students learned on
their own.
Learn about “jumping
genes”.
Do genes jump?
Explain
Students will look into
monohybrid crosses as
well as heredity and
reproduction and the
terms associated with
those standards.
Explain
Students will be doing
“spongebob genetics” to
make their own funky
version of spongebob
using the hybrid crossing
techniques they
acquired.
Elaborate
Students will work from
the book to finish
information about Mendel.
Including drawing pictures
of Mendel’s traits on their
sheets.
Elaborate
Watch Transposens video
clips.
Elaborate
Students will work on a
worksheet to test their
monohybrid and dihybrid
cross skills they learned
looking at two traits at
the same time.
Elaborate
Go over the history of
Mendel and his legacy
that many people do not
realize about him.
