NLMUSD Model Integration Technology Pilot Technology Integration Unit/Lesson Plan Template (modified from MTS Lesson Plan Template) Lesson title: Heredity Tic Tac Toe Name: Angelica Gunderson Subject area: Life Science Grade level: 7th Time frame: 2-3 Weeks Brief lesson/unit Summary/Description Students will select from a variety of multimedia presentation tools to show their understanding of Genetic Concepts. State Content Standard/Benchmark addressed http://www.cde.ca.gov/be/st/ss/index.asp 7.1. Students know sexual reproduction produces offspring that inherit half their genes from each parent. Students know the differences between the life cycles and reproduction methods of sexual and asexual organisms. Students know sexual reproduction produces offspring that inherit half their genes from each parent. 2.c. Students know an inherited trait can be determined by one or more genes. Students know plant and animal cells contain many thousands of different genes and typically have two copies of every gene. The two copies (or alleles) of the gene may or may not be identical, and one may be dominant in determining the phenotype while the other is recessive. Students know DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic material of living organisms and is located in the chromosomes of each cell. Educational Technology Standard/Benchmark addressed http://www.iste.org/standards.aspx Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology. Students: a.apply existing knowledge to generate new ideas, products, or processes. 2. Communication and Collaboration NLMUSD Model Integration Technology Pilot a. interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of digital environments and media. 3. Research and Information Fluency a. plan strategies to guide inquiry b. locate, organize, analyze, evaluate, synthesize, and ethically use information from a variety of sources and media. c. evaluate and select information sources and digital tools based on the appropriateness to specific tasks. 21st Century Skill(s)/Theme(s) addressed http://www.p21.org/route21/index.php Integration into NLMUSD Curriculum Maps (If applicable in Language arts or Math) Students will understand (lesson/unit objectives): Students will be able to understand and apply the patterns of heredity to their own life experiences. They will also be able to synthesize the ways in which genetics impacts organisms. Essential Questions to guide this unit/lesson and focus teaching and learning: How are genes for traits passed from parent to offspring? Who was Gregor Mendel and how did his work impact the study of heredity? How can mutations affect an organism? What is the relationship between chromosomes and genes? What role do chromosomes play in inheritance? Technology & Web 2.0 resources needed (hardware and software, websites) -The classroom website was used to publish links that provided students access to reliable web based resources for the projects. -iPads -iPods -iMac Computers Procedure (learning activities)/ lessons of unit NLMUSD Model Integration Technology Pilot Day 1: Pre Assessment Created Through Data Director Day 2: Students will need to know who Gregor Mendel was and what evidence he collected that raised questions regarding heredity. Day 3: Students will need to know how DNA is able to replicate itself. Day 4 & 5: Students will apply their understanding of DNA structure. Day 6-7: Students will need to know how cells transfer DNA during cell division. Day 8-9: Students will need to understand how sex cells are created and how they account for variety. Day 10: Students will understand how cells are able to pass down genes by comparing the process of mitosis and meiosis. Day 11: Students will need to know different forms of a gene are called alleles. Day 12 & 13 : Students will need to how dominant and recessive alleles appeared in Mendel’s investigation and how he identified them. Day 14: Students will need to know how the structure of Punnett Squares help determine the probability of a trait. Day 15: Students will need to understand how to complete Punnet Squares to show probability of a trait. Day16: Students will apply Punett Squares to Mendel’s evidence as well as other examples. Day 17: Student will complete the Post Assessment Assessment Method Data Director Created Multiple Choice Pre and Post Test Life Science Probing Questions for DNA and Heredity Tic Tac Toe Heredity Assignment Notes: (this area may list accommodations, differentiation, as well as other key information that may not fit into the categories above) Students that do not perform well during the unit will recive addional support while the students that showed proficiency in the subject work on the Tic Tac Toe assignment. For the extra support, students completed GIZMO’s found in ExploreLearning.com
