7-Evolution+&+Genetics

7.L.2.1 Explain why offspring that result from sexual reproduction (fertilization and meiosis) have greater variation than offspring that result from asexual reproduction (budding and mitosis). 7.L.2.2 Infer patterns of heredity using information from Punnett squares and pedigree analysis. 7.L.2.3 Explain the impact of the environment and lifestyle choices on biological inheritance (to include common genetic diseases) and survival. || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Anchor Standard/Mathematical Practice(s)**===
 * ===**Common Core Standards**===
 * 7.L.2 Understand the relationship of the mechanisms of cellular reproduction, patterns of inheritance and external factors to potential variation and survival among offspring **.

7.TT.1 Use technology and other resources for assigned tasks. Students will use power point for genetic disease project. 7.RP.1 Apply a research process to complete given tasks Students complete a research project on genetic diseases 7.SE.1 Apply responsible behaviors when using information and technology resources. || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Revised Bloom's Level of thinking**===

 * Level 3 - Applying - Students will apply the knowledge they have retained using DNA stripes to create their own unique Dog. They will also demonstrate their knowledge of traits during the Bothead activity.**
 * Level 5 - Evaluating - Students will evaluate their DNA through the extraction lab.** ||
 * I will be able to compare and contrast mitosis and meiosis
 * I will be able to recognize the differences between genotype and phenotype
 * I will be able to identify the genetic differences between offspring from the same parents
 * I will know how to use a Punnett Square to determine the probability of inheriting a particular trait
 * I will be able to predict the genotype and phenotype of an offspring using a Punnett Square
 * I will analyze a pedigree chart to infer what genotypes and phenotypes are present in family members from generation to generation
 * I will be able to identify what causes genetic diseases to occur and how they affect the organism
 * I will investigate how human behaviors and characteristics are shaped by
 * inheritance, experiences, and environmental factors

====2.1 I can compare and contrast meiosis and mitosis stages involved in: a new organism produced from two parents (sexual reproduction) or a new organism produced from one parent (asexual reproduction). ====

====2.2 I can infer patterns of heredity using the following methods: Punnett Squares for probability of traits and Pedigree for genetic relationship within a family. ====

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Differentiation**

 * ====DSI – To introduce new vocabulary students will “Predict” their meaning by one of three ways: ====
 * 1) ====D – Write what they think the definition is. ====
 * 2) ====S – Write a sentence using that word. ====
 * 3) ====I – Illustrate what they think the word means. ====
 * ====Rotation Groups: Stations on different stages of Mitosis. Assignment options at each station to meet various learning styles ====
 * ====Genetic Disease project. Students will randomly select and research a genetic disease individually. They will create a PowerPoint to present the disease to the class. ====
 * Bothead Activity - Students learn about dominant and recessive traits by creating their own parent bots. Then they pair up with a classmate to combine their genes and create a baby bot.
 * Dog DNA - Students are given an envelope with stripes of DNA (Symbols) and they have to determine what their dog will look like based on their DNA.
 * Candy DNA model - Students will work with a partner to create a DNA model out of twizzlers, bubble gum and gum drops. They will label the parts on a paper plate.
