Appropriateness for Middle/High School Students

Describe the teaching strategies used in this lesson that address the needs and interests of

your students and how they build a cohesive science/mathematics experience for students.

Background

The concepts that will be covered in this lesson is on basic genetics and heredity.

The students will learn about traits, which are inherited and which are

learned/obtained as an organism develops. The lesson will prepare the students for

more advanced genetics in high school biology by providing basic vocabulary and an

understanding of genes and how they are expressed in an organism. The students

will also learn and practice basic science skills such as predicting results, and

collecting and analyzing data as well as writing a lab report and conclusion.

Students will use the following vocabulary to describe the passing of genes as well as

predicting and testing their predictions of genetic traits. Vocabulary:

Allele,

Chromosomes, DNA, Dominant, Fertilization, Gene, Genotype, Heredity, Pedigree, Phenotype, Probability, Punnett

square, Ratio,Recessive.][

Provide a description (150-250 words) of the SSI-based science/mathematics concepts

covered in this lesson.

Florida State Standards (NGSSS)

SC.7.L.16.1

Understand and explain that every organism requires a set of

instructions that specifies its traits, that this hereditary information (DNA)

contains genes located in the chromosomes of each cell, and that heredity is

the passage of these instructions from one generation to another

SC.7.L.16.2

Determine the probabilities for genotype and phenotype combinations

using Punnett Squares and pedigrees.

Performance Objectives

 The student will use vocabulary to explain how inheritable traits are passed down

from parents to offspring.

 The students will use a punnett square to predict the percentage of genotypes and

phenotypes of basic 2 allele traits in organisms.

Materials List and Student Handouts

 Paper, computer, projector, magazines, glue, poster paper, dirt, pea seeds, planter,

plastic spoon.

 Students will be in groups of 3-4, each group will receive one of each item from

material list.

5E Lesson Template

In the left column, list all activities you are planning. Also include information on how the

class will be organized (grouping; individual work). The right column contains only

probing questions you intend to ask of your students to guide their learning. For each

phase, complete a brief (2-3 sentence) overview of what will occur in the space provided.
