Reebops instructions Links to Upper Secondary O level syllabus Theme: Continuity of Life 13 Cell Division Reebops simulation materials (d) state what is meant by homologous pairs of chromosomes (e) identify, with the aid of diagrams, the main stages of meiosis (Names of the sub-divisions of prophase are not required) (f) define the terms haploid and diploid, and explain the need for a reduction division process prior to fertilisation in sexual reproduction (g) state how meiosis and fertilisation can lead to variation 15. Inheritance (a) define a gene as a unit of inheritance and distinguish clearly between the terms gene and allele (b) explain the terms dominant, recessive, codominant, homozygous, heterozygous, phenotype and genotype (c) predict the results of simple crosses with expected ratios of 3:1 and 1:1, using the terms homozygous, heterozygous, F1 generation and F2 generation (d) explain why observed ratios often differ from expected ratios, especially when there are small numbers of progeny (e) use genetic diagrams to solve problems involving monohybrid inheritance. (Genetic diagrams involving autosomal linkage or epistasis are not required) (f) explain co-dominance and multiple alleles with reference to the inheritance of the ABO blood group phenotypes – A, B, AB, O, gene alleles IA, IB Practical (a) follow carefully a sequence of instructions within a set time allowance (b) use familiar and unfamiliar techniques to record their observations and make deductions from them; (c) recognise and observe features of familiar and unfamiliar biological US -1 1 NIE 2016 Tuesday 15 March Activities Resources Links to Upper Secondary O level syllabus specimens, record their observations and make deductions about functions of whole specimens or their parts 11:15-12 Further Reebop activity Production of an electronic photoposter and recording your findings Investigation challenge Photoposter instructions Practical (e) interpret unfamiliar data and draw conclusions from their interpretations (f) design/plan an investigation to solve a problem 12-1 Lunch 1-2 Finish posters Present posters Peer review of posters another kind of poster rubric Discussion: Assessment of cases Assessment handout Rubrics (3) Collaboration, case based learning, lab report 2:00-2:15 Alignment to Inquiry and 21st Century skills Inquiry from LS syllabus 21st century skills from MOE Literacy and ICBL 2:15-2:45 Visualizing data Gapminder on carbon emissions Worldmapper on carbon pollution and carbon damage related to sanitation Gapminder World guide Worldmapper instructions Theme: Man and His Environment 16. Organisms and their environment (e) describe how carbon is cycled within an ecosystem and outline the role of forests and oceans as carbon sinks (f) evaluate the effects of water pollution by sewage and by inorganic waste Practical (e) interpret unfamiliar data and draw conclusions from their interpretations 2:45-3 Break 3-4 Animations and SIMULATIONS Links to online simulations Carbon Cycle: 16 (b) explain the terms producer, consumer and trophic level in the context of US -1 Practical (g) comment on a procedure used in an experiment and to suggest an improvement; 2 NIE 2016 Tuesday 15 March Activities Resources Carbon cycle from Kscience Phet membranes PhET membrane activity K science Golgi animation Photosynthesis lab Photosynthesis activity Enzyme kinetics lab Enzyme activity Natural Selection activity PhET Wolves and rabbits natural selection Links to Upper Secondary O level syllabus food chains and food webs (e) describe how carbon is cycled within an ecosystem and outline the role of forests and oceans as carbon sinks Membranes and Golgi 1.
