8th Grade Life Science

Week 32

Objective/ Procedure Handouts/ Labs Homework
4/25

Heredity-1

1. Learn the structures involved: cell, nucleus, chromosome, allele, and gene as functional relationships that determine genetic processes: genotype, phenotype, dominant allele, and recessive allele.

2.Add vocabulary: Populations and Ecosystems Vocabulary 15-17  to understand the terms associated with genetics: cell, nucleus, chromosomes, allele, gene, genotype, phenotype, dominant, recessive, egg & sperm, punnett squares

3.Practice decoding the genotype of a larkey to discover what traits it has.

NJCCCS 5.1  & 5.5 

  41. Genetics Vocabulary

22. Larkey Genetics Mat/ Larkey Breeding Steps

42. Bikini Bottom Genetics-1

Assignments #11 & 12

42. Bikini Bottom Genetics-1

 

4/26

Heredity-2

1.  Simulate the four-gene genotype of larkeys by breeding the pair by randomly drawing one allele for each gene from each parent. The combination of eight random alleles is the genotype of the F1 offspring andF2 generation.


2. Decode the genotype to see what traits both offspring have and t
ally the traits for the whole class and analyze the results.

3. Understand the probability of genotypes and phenotypes by completing problems:

42. Bikini Bottom Genetics-1

43. Bikini Bottom Genetics-2

NJCCCS 5.1  & 5.5 

23. Larkey Breeding Results/ Punnett Squares

43. Bikini Bottom Genetics-2

Assignments #11 & 12

43. Bikini Bottom Genetics-2

4/27

Heredity-3

1.  Use multimedia simulation (open for directions) to determine the transfer of genetic information during the breeding of Larkeys and the traits that result: Foss Populations & Ecosystems Website

2.Prepare for NJ ASK by using the the Studyisland.com website to review  Science lessons: Standard 5.5 Life Science- Genetics, Adaptations, Ecology, Post Test

3. Complete: 44. Response Sheet: Genetic Variation/Genetic Variation Practice Sheet to understand how the possibilities for traits of offspring are determined by the genotypes of the parents

NJCCCS 5.1  & 5.5 

 44. Response Sheet: Genetic Variation/Genetic Variation Practice Sheet

Heredity-4

1. Understand the probability of genotypes and phenotypes by completing problems:

42. Bikini Bottom Genetics-1

43. Bikini Bottom Genetics-2

2. Use a simulation to determine the transfer of genetic information during the breeding of Larkeys and the traits that result

3.  Use a simulation to determine the transfer of genetic information during the breeding of Larkeys and the traits that result

NJCCCS 5.1  & 5.5 

 

Prepare for Test: cell nucleus, chromosome, allele, gene, genotype, phenotype, dominant, recessive, homozygous, heterozygous traits, features, variation, adaptations, punnett squares- binder p. 40-44 , notes, lab activities

44. Response Sheet: Genetic Variation/Genetic Variation Practice Sheet
