Day 1
TSW analyze Mendel's contribution to genetics using online resources, direct instruction, and a STEM project. 1. Do Now:Recall: 1. Discuss with your team the relationship between: DNA, amino acid, gene, allele, protein, and chromosome. 2. using play dough, make a labeled model of the above listed terms. 3. IYB, differentiate genotype and phenotype. 2. Using the slideshow we will discuss and record IYB A. contrast: dominant V recessive and homozygous V heterozygous B. Analyze the importance of purebreds and hybrids C. Evaluate the value of cross-pollination and of self-pollination 3. Establish Team Positions then: Use this website and this rubric to make a 5-7 minute skit of Mendel's life and discoveries. Be sure to address how Mendel's Law of Segregation and Law of Independent Assortment are used to analyze inheritance patterns. Include a digital piece and a physical model of his pea experiments. You will be sharing this with another team next class period.
4. Homework: "Inheritance" Gizmo with SES and quiz: |

Day 2-3
TSW compare and contrast inheritance patterns, synthesize pedigree charts and monohybrid and dihybrid crosses, and solve genetic manipulation problems using STEM techniques. 1. Do Now Day 2: Prepare to present Mendel Skit, digital piece, and model 2. Do Now Day 3: Compare and contrast the following inheritance patterns, then identify a scenario when each is more beneficial than the other citing specific examples. record IYB A. IYB differentiate and provide an example of co dominance and incomplete dominance. Analyze blood types, A, B, AB and O using the above resource. Video help and Blood Type Game B. IYB analyze the following patterns of inheritance and cite an example of each: sex-linkage, polygenic inheritance, and multiple alleles 2. Learn how to assemble a pedigree chart using this coin toss activity and record IYB. Make one for a recessive trait and one for a dominant trait. 3. Learn how to draw and complete a monohybrid cross and a dihybrid cross using a Punnett Square here, here, here Record notes/examples IYB. 4. Take this quiz, show your work and corrections IYB. 2. Problem Solving: Problem: Commercial beef producers need to manage genetic risks when selectively breeding cattle. With your STEM Team: A. Read this article B. Create a digital resource for educating commercial breeders on managing genetic risks while selectively breeding. C. Develop a policy that would hold breeders responsible for proper selective breeding of animals. D. Last step: Share your lesson with someone who could benefit (research a commercial breeder or beef company) via email or social media. find contacts here and here. Make sure you tell them that you are high school students sharing your knowledge with the public as part of a STEM project concerning solving real world problems.
