Focus Plan Texarkana Independent School District GRADING PERIOD: WRITER: Biology – 2nd, Chemistry – 3rd PLAN CODE: L. Petty COURSE/SUBJECT: 10th grade science GRADE(S): 10th TIME ALLOTTED FOR INSTRUCTION: 1-½ hours TITLE: That’s My Baby LESSON TOPIC: How traits are carried on DNA and passed on to offspring. TAKS OBJECTIVE: Objective 2 The student will demonstrate an understanding of the organization of living systems. 10.6 The student knows the structures and functions of nucleic acids in the mechanisms of genetics. The student is expected to: (D) compare genetic variations observed in plants and animals Objective 1: The student will demonstrate an understanding of the nature of science. 10.2 The student uses scientific methods during field and laboratory investigations. The student is expected to: (A) plan and implement investigative procedures including asking questions, formulating testable hypotheses, and selecting equipment and technology (C) organize, analyze, evaluate, make inferences, and predict trends from data (D) communicate valid conclusions FOCUS TEKS AND STUDENT EXPECTATION: SUPPORTING TEKS AND STUDENT EXPECTATIONS: CONCEPTS Heredity ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS/GENERALIZATIONS/PRINCIPLES The student will understand that Traits, or characteristics, are passed from parent to offspring. Genes The units of heredity are called genes. Dominance The stronger gene is the dominant gene, and is the one that is expressed in the trait. The weaker, recessive gene, is masked. The genes that determine blood type are different than many human genes because they exhibit co-dominance – where 2 different traits can be equally expressed. While blood typing cannot be used by itself to determine parentage, it can occasionally be used to exclude someone in certain types of situations and is less expensive to use than DNA. Blood typing Specificity I. SEQUENCE OF ACTIVITIES (INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES) A. Focus/connections/anticipatory set Once students are seated, read the following study. It has been reported by different studies that 100,000 to 500,000 newborns are accidentally switched at birth every year and are given to the wrong parents. About 1 out of every 8 babies born in American hospitals is sent home with the wrong parents. Many of these mistakes are caught within the first couple days. Many of these switches occur in large metropolitan areas such as New Your or Los Angeles B.

Description Grade Lab Worksheet – That’s My Baby. B. Rubrics/grading criteria Cards should be graded at 5 points each (1 for showing each reaction with the antibodies, one for the blood type and one for the Rh factor). These points should be deducted if the information is not given or is given incorrectly. This is worth a total of 20 points. Lab questions should count as 4 points each. The final answer (were the babies switched) and its justification should be worth 20 points. The last 20 points should be safety and behavior. C. Accommodations/modifications Students requiring accommodations may need help with questions 9 and 10 since they are application questions. D. Enrichment Students requiring enrichment may be given additional punnett squares to do or may be assigned a research assignment to find three actual baby switching stories as part of their grade. E. Sample discussion questions 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. IV. How many blood types are there? 4 If a baby gets A blood from one parent and B blood from another parent, what blood type will the baby have? AB A and B blood are co-dominant. What does this mean? They are the ones that will show up if they are present. They are equal strength. How does a person get O blood since it is the only recessive blood type? O blood only shows up when both parents contribute a recessive O gene. Could there be any problem if a mother has Rh- blood and her baby receives an Rh+ gene from his dad? The mother’s blood would fight against the presence of the baby since it has a foreign protein. This is called a blue baby. Blue babies usually have a blue tinge to their skin when they are born because there is some agglutination of their blood as mom tries to rid her body of this foreign blood protein. Many blue babies require a blood transfusion once they are born. Mom will need a shot to break down the antibodies she has made against this foreign blood protein (just like she would make for a virus or bacteria) or she will miscarry any other children she may conceive. TAKS PREPARATION A. Transition to TAKS context 1. Gregor Mendel performed quantitative experiments with the genetic variation of garden peas during the mid-1800s. He chose varieties having traits that were easily distinguished, such as plant height, flower color, etc. What additional trait variation examined by Gregor Mendel is illustrated in the drawing above? (a) seed color (b) flower position (c) seed shape (d) pod shape 2. Qualitative experiments performed by Gregor Mendel during the mid-1800s led to formation of a theory to explain genetic variation in plants and animals. Mendel experimented with garden peas because they have traits that are easily distinguished. What genetic variation in pea plants examined by Gregor Mendel is illustrated in the drawing above? (a) seed shape (b) seed color (c) pod shape (d) pod color 3. Biologists can use a Punnett square to predict the results of crossing plants that breed true for a pair of contrasting traits. The Punnett square below illustrated data about a pair of plants that are homozygous for the tested trait. What is observed by biologists who examine offspring of the first-generation cross between plants that are homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive for height? (a) All first-generation plants will grow to medium height. (b) There will be three tall plants to each short plant in the first generation. (c) All first-generation plants will grow tall. (d) There will be three short plants to each tall plant in the first generation. B. Sample TAKS questions Spring 2003 1. Dogs (Canis familiaris) are most closely related genetically to which of the following organisms? (a) African hunting dog (Lycaon pictus) (b) Gray wolf (Canis lupus) (c) Grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) (d) Domestic cat (Felis catus) Spring 2004 1. DNA molecules separate into single strands, which are then used to construct two identical strands of DNA. This process ensures that the ____.

Order Simulated ABO/Rh refill kits from Science Kit (#45654-10). These simulated blood samples contain 4 simulated blood samples (Mr. Smith’s blood - A+, Ms. Brown’s blood - O-, Mr. Green’s blood - AB+ and Ms. Jones’ blood - B-) For the Instructional Activity, you will only use Mr. Smith’s blood and the 3 antibodies. For the Guided Activity, you will use all 4. 2. Label the 4 blood samples: “Mr. Smith’s” blood should be labeled “sample #00678” and will be Jane Doe’s blood. “Ms.Brown’s” blood should be labeled “sample #00679” and will be Thomas Doe’s. “Mr. Green’s” blood will be “sample #00680” and will be Baby Doe’s blood. “Ms. Jones’” blood will be “sample #01133” and will be Tyson Smith’s blood. 3. Have enough clean slides ready so that every group of students can have 4 slides. Since this is simulated blood, there is no need to worry about sterility. Slides can be pre-divided into 3 sections using a wax pencil and rinsed off between uses. During lab: 4. Make sure students are following the procedure from the training lab carefully or they will not see agglutination. Sometimes it helps if they slowly tilt the slide back-and-forth because it makes fine clumps show up better.
