Data: Data Table in journal Activity 59: Gene Combo Data: Data Table in journal Conclusion: Math connection Ratio vs fraction AQ 5 for assessment Re-visit white space answer. What did I learn? Notes to myself:

Activity 60: Mendel, First Geneticist Challenge: Who was Gregor Mendel and what did he do? Vocabulary: gene, allele. dominant, recessive Procedure: stop to think Record data? White space What is dog breeding? Why do people breed dogs, cats, horses

Data: Data Table in journal AQ#1 Activity 60: Mendel Data: Data Table in journal AQ#1 Conclusion: Math connection Ratio vs fraction AQ 2 for sample size AQ 3 for math Re-visit white space answer. What did I learn? Notes to myself:

Activity 61: Gene Squares Challenge: How can tossing a coin help you to understand how an organism inherits genes from their parents? Vocabulary: genotype, phenotype, homozygous, heterozygous Procedure: following steps in books. How is this different from when you did this before? White space Why do ¼ of Lucy & Oceans off spring have orange tails?

Activity 61 : Gene Squares Data: Do worksheet Conclusion: Key parts of this graphic organizer AQ 3 or 4 for assessment Re-visit white space answer. What did I learn? Notes to myself : Write a punnett square problem and do the answer for tomorrow

Activity 63: Show me the Genes Challenge: What role do chromosomes play in inheritance? Vocabulary: gene, allele, dominant Procedure: How many stages would you draw for mitosis? White space Where are genes located? Draw

Activity 63: Show Me the Genes Data: Draw mitosis Draw fertilization Conclusion: Key ideas in cell division AQ #1 – see next slide Re-visit white space answer. What did I learn? Notes to myself : Look on computer for mitosis.

Activity 65: Breeding Creature- More Traits Challenge: What are some patterns of inheritance for other traits? Vocabulary: gene, allele. dominant, recessive Procedure: Coin toss rules Build critter Name critter Put on piece of paper for display White space Look at picture on page 51. List characteristics and dominant trait

Activity 65: Breeding critters Data: Tape Data Table in journal Conclusion: Draw your critter Incomplete dominance Co-dominance Assessment AQ 6, 7, 8? Re-visit white space answer. What did I learn? Notes to myself : Picture of my critter

Activity 66: Patterns in Pedigrees Challenge: How can you use pedigrees to study human traits? Vocabulary: pedigree Procedure: analyze each pedigree. Key parts of a pedigree White space What did you learn in the last activity?

Activity 66: Patterns in Pedigrees Data: Good pedigree Answers to stop to think Conclusion: Pedigrees as a graphic organizer Re-visit white space answer. What did I learn? Notes to myself: Find out your blood type

Activity 68: Lost Children Challenge: Can you use blood type to help identify the lost children? Background: Review blood types & add Rh factor Vocabulary: Allele, co-dominance Procedure: Read scenario Blood type worksheet White space What is your blood type?

Activity 68: Lost Children Data: Data Table in journal Conclusion: Rh factor Which boy? Which girl? Does blood identify the lost child? What did I learn? Notes to myself : AQ #2

Activity 69: Evidence from DNA Challenge: What makes your DNA finger print unique? Vocabulary: DNA, DNA fingerprinting Procedure: Part A Part B – Steps in journal White space KWL about DNA & DNA fingerprints

Activity 69: Evidence From DNA Data: compare DNA AQ #1 Conclusion: AQ #2 Assessment – AQ #3 Re-visit KWL. What did I learn? Notes to myself:

Activity 70 Finding the Lost Children Challenge: How can DNA fingerprinting help find the lost children? Vocabulary: DNA, DNA fingerprinting Procedure: Do practice – step 1 Match other children to parents White space Would the DNA of the lost child be the same as mother and father ? Explain

Activity 70: Finding the Lost Children Data: Match the children Conclusion: Is there a match? Look at true story on page 82 AQ 2 for assessment Re-visit white space answer. Did DNA work? What did I learn? Notes to myself : How does this compare to CSI?
