L3: Genetics & Heredity

This is the second lesson in the series of lessons comparing how garden growing techniques determine plant growth/production. In this lesson, students will research the best types of plants to grow

This would be an end of the unit project. Students would need prior knowledge about animal adaptations and biomes/habitats. Students will use Flipgrid to share, but you could use any other video app

This lesson takes place in as classroom for one or more 60 minute class periods. The data collection portion may continue for 2+ weeks (or whatever time frame you decide). An emphasis is placed on the

Students develop an understanding of patterns and how genetic information is passed from generation to generation. They also develop the understanding of how genetic information and environmental

Summary - Students will be identifying the structures and functions of plant reproductive parts. Materials - Flowers, scissors, magnifying lenses, resource materials (internet/textbook)

For this 90 minute lesson students are going to watch an introductory video about how we inherit features and then they will do research on a website. In the project they will fill out a survey

Summary: This lesson is a precursor to subsequent lessons comparing how garden growing techniques determine plant growth/production. Students will be activating prior knowledge in the life sciences

This real-world lesson allows students to understand the impact of an oil spill on animals in the wild. Students experiment with ways to clean oiled animals. There is a literacy integration, hands-on

Students are actively engaged in this creative lesson where they use their genetics knowledge to construct a game for others to play! They will use a Punnett Square and other genetic terminology as
