LESSON PLAN – WEEK 3 Course: Growing Schools Session 3: Monitoring the Incubator and Genetics Natural versus Artificial selection No. Students: Date: Times: 9.05 – 10.45am Venue: Pickering School - Science Lab. Aims: To monitor the progress of the eggs in the incubator and to consider the growth of the chick inside the egg. To introduce genetics and the application of this used to select for useful characteristics in livestock compare this with natural selection and evolution. Objectives: By the end of the lesson the students will have produced a graph showing the weight changes of the eggs and be able to discuss why this is happening. Students will be able to discuss the basic principles of genetics and the keywords involved. Students will be able to compare natural versus artificial selection and be able to produce a basic breeding programme. Time Subject 9.059.15 Introduction and recap previous session. 9.159.25 Monitor the incubator temperature and weigh the eggs Record the weight 9.259.40 9.309.45 9.459.55 9.5510.05 Candle the eggs to assess the development of the chick inside the egg.

Conflicts within a programme. Summarise and introduce next session Homework set: Set up a breeding programme to produce a chicken that gives the fastest growth from a flock laying birds.
