Reproduction and human development
Examine and
describe the
process of and
influences on the
transfer of genetic
information. (RE
9.1)
Examine the
impact of the
understanding of
transfer of genetic
information on
society past and
present. (RE 9.1)
Observe and
describe the
significance of
cellular
reproductive
processes,
including mitosis
and meiosis. (RE
9.2)
Fully meeting expectations, with
enriched understanding (EU)
You can confidently examine and
describe the process of and influences on
the transfer of genetic information. You
show a strong understanding of dominant
and recessive traits and can describe how
they affect multiple aspects of life. You
can also describe and analyze many
influences on how genetic information is
transferred and can support your ideas
with strong details and examples.
You show a deep understanding of the
impact of our understanding around
genetics. You can relate your
understanding to both past and present
society and can provide examples in both
a Saskatchewan and Canadian context.
You relate your understanding to multiple
contexts (gene therapy, foods,
population, disease, etc.)
With great insight, you can observe and
describe the importance of cellular
reproductive processes, including mitosis
and meiosis. You understand these
processes so completely that you can
describe them in relation to each other,
including the technologies that explore
them, the results of the processes and
the implications for populations.
Fully meeting grade level
expectations (FM)
On your own, you can
examine and describe the
process of and influences on
the transfer of genetic
information. You can identify
examples of dominant and
recessive traits and the
environmental and personal
choices that may lead to
changes in cell information.
On your own, you can
identify the impact of our
understanding of the
transfer of genetic
information. You relate your
understanding in terms of
society both past and
present and support your
ideas with relevant
examples.
On your own, you can
observe and describe the
importance of cellular
reproductive processes. You
can relate your
understanding in terms of
both mitosis and meiosis.
You understand the “what”
and the “why” of these
processes.
Name __________________
Mostly meeting grade level
expectations (MM)
With assistance you can
examine and describe some
process of and influences on
the transfer of genetic
information. More attention
needs to be given to how
environmental factors and
personal choices affect this
transfer, so you can support
your ideas more fully.
With some help, you can
identify some impacts of our
understanding of the transfer
of genetic information.
Continue to explore this topic
in other areas. Explore it in the
context of gene therapy,
foods, population, disease, etc
With assistance, you can
observe and describe some of
the importance of cellular
reproductive processes. More
attention needs to be given to
understanding the inner
workings of cell division in
both processes, as well as how
these processes impact
organisms and populations.
Not yet meeting grade level
expectations (NY)
Even with assistance, you
are having trouble
examining and describing
what genetic information is
and how it is transferred.
Revisit the information
about dominant and
recessive traits and practice
on people you know.
You are having trouble
identifying the impact of
our understanding of the
transfer of genetic
information. How has
genetics affect us? How has
it affected our food? Our
populations? Decisions we
make? Where can you look
for information?
Even with assistance, you
are having difficulty
observing and describing
the importance of cellular
reproductive processes.
Much more attention needs
to be given to
understanding the inner
workings of cell division.
Describe the
processes and
implications of
sexual and asexual
reproduction in
plants and
animals. (RE 9.3)
With great insight, you can describe the
processes and implications of sexual and
asexual reproduction in plants and
animals. You are able to clarify the
advantages, disadvantages and methods
for each and begin to assess the
implications on a wide variety of species.
You can also describe the applications in
agriculture and forestry with great
insight.
You can describe the
processes and implications
of sexual and asexual
reproduction in plants and
animals. You can identify
advantages and
disadvantages and describe
the methods of
reproduction.
Analyze the
process of human
reproduction,
including the
influence of
reproductive and
contraceptive
technologies. (RE
9.4)
You can insightfully analyze relevant
information and convey your own
thoughts and connections regarding
human reproduction and technologies in
a personally meaningful and engaging
way. You not only clearly understand
reproduction and development but can
begin to assess the impacts and
challenges for humans, based on life
stages, cultural backgrounds, etc.
You can analyze relevant
information and convey your
own thoughts and
connections regarding
human reproduction and
technologies. You can ask
strong questions and
support your analysis with
relevant details and
examples.
Feedback:
With assistance, you can
mostly describe the processes
and implications of sexual and
asexual reproduction in plants
and animals. More attention
needs to be given to
understanding the differences
in plant reproduction.
Even with assistance, you
