Question of the Day:

• Why do beaks look different on different species of birds?

Activities:

• Evidence for evolution (in schoology)

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.

Question of the Day:

• What was one thing you learned from the galapagos video?

Activities:

• Complete and turn the last two genetics assignments:
  • Mutations and special genetics
  • Genetic Technology Videoquest

Question of the Day:

• What has been your favorite part of science so far this year?

Activities:

• MAPS testing

Learning Intention:

• SWBAT show their knowledge of science

Success Criteria:

• I know I am successful when I see growth in my MAPS score

• ****TOMORROW BRING YOUR DISTRICT CHROMEBOOK FOR MAPS TESTING****

Learning Intention:

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

 

Success Criteria:

Question of the Day:

• What are you most looking forward to this weekend?

Activities:

• Complete the “Mutations, Special Genetics…” assignment in schoology
