Student’s Learning Intention: I understand that technology allows humans to artificially influence the inheritance of traits.

Student’s Success Criteria: I can list examples of artificial selection (including genetic modification, selective breeding, and gene therapy) and briefly explain how these examples allow humans to select desired traits of organisms.

Happy First in person Wednesday in over a year!!!

Question of the Day:

Activities:

• Finish Jurassic Park

Student’s Learning Intention: I understand that technology allows humans to artificially influence the inheritance of traits.

Student’s Success Criteria: I can list examples of artificial selection (including genetic modification, selective breeding, and gene therapy) and briefly explain how these examples allow humans to select desired traits of organisms.

Happy Second to Last Tuesday!!!

Question of the Day:

• What is the first thing you are going to do this summer when school ends?

Activities:

• Continue with Jurassic Park

Student’s Learning Intention: I understand that technology allows humans to artificially influence the inheritance of traits.

Student’s Success Criteria: I can list examples of artificial selection (including genetic modification, selective breeding, and gene therapy) and briefly explain how these examples allow humans to select desired traits of organisms.

• What do you want to be when you grow up?

Activities:

Question of the Day:

• Is a hot dog a sandwich

Activities:

• Artificial and Natural Selection Activity

Learning Intention:

I will understand the relationships between the traits of an organism, the environment and the probability to survive.

 

Success Criteria:

• I can explain how survival and reproductive success depends on different factors including traits of the organism, environmental factors, limiting factors (such as food, water, and shelter), adaptations, behaviors and genetic variation within a species.
• I can develop, communicate and justify why a given organism with specific traits will or will not survive to have offspring in a given environment.
• I can use data to predict whether an offspring with specific traits will or will not survive to have offspring in a given environment.
