November 7– November 11, 2016
7th
Monday
Competency: Pollination and Fertilization
Standard: Heredity and Genetics 6.3d Describe and summarize how an egg and sperm unite in
the reproduction of angiosperms and gymnosperms.
Essential Question: How do plant organisms reproduce?
Focus Question: How do flowering plants reproduce?
Bellringer: ACT Questions
Anticipatory Set: TSW watch a brief video on pollination. TSW watch a video on the life cycle of
plants?
Guided Practice: TTW use the video to guide and introduce the lesson.
Independent Practice: TSW take notes on the parts of a flower, the parts of a seed, and
angiosperms.
Teacher Input: TTW walk around class to ensure the students are on task and properly taking
notes.
Closure: TTW ask the students to recall the stages of the life cycle of plants.
Tuesday
Independent Practice: ACT Testing
Wednesday
Competency: Pollination and Fertilization
Standard: 6.3d Describe and summarize how an egg and sperm unite in the reproduction of
angiosperms and gymnosperms.
6.3d(a). The path of the sperm cells to the egg cell in the ovary of a flower.
6.3d(b). The structures and functions of parts of a seed in the formation of a plant and of fruits.
Essential Question: How do plant organisms reproduce?
Focus Question: How do flowering plants reproduce?
Bellringer: ACT Questions
Anticipatory Set: TSW respond to two engage discussion questions of the gizmo activity.
Guided Practice: TTW discuss the two engage gizmo questions with the students. This
questions will be used to introduce the gizmo activity and to have the kids understand how to
navigate through the gizmo functions.
Independent Practice: TSW work independently on laptops exploring the “Flower
Reproduction” gizmo. TSW complete the warm-up activity and activity A today.
Differentiations:
Below Grade Level: TSW be given one on one guidance and reteach discussion questions.
ELA standards and matching activity are highlighted in yellow.
On grade level and Above Grade Level: TSW answer multi-step discussion questions.
Teacher Input: TTW walk around and monitor the students ensuring they are managing time
and on task. TTW ask certain questions that make connections between previous lessons and
the gizmo. TTW also questions the demonstrates retention of the lesson and understanding of
the difference between acquired traits and inherited traits.

Essential Question: How do plant organisms reproduce?
Focus Question: How do flowering plants reproduce?
Guided Practice: TTW discuss the relationship between heterozygous, homozygous, dominant,
codominant, and recessive alleles. TTW remind the students to look for these examples as they
explore the “Mouse Genetics” gizmo.
Independent Practice: TSW work independently on laptops exploring the gizmo. TSW complete
activity B and activity C today.
Differentiations:
Below Grade Level: TSW be given one on one guidance and reteach discussion questions.
On grade level and Above Grade Level: TSW answer multi-step discussion questions.

Bellringer: ACT Questions
Independent Practice: TSW complete a mixed practice quiz.
ELA standards and matching activity are highlighted in yellow.
Anticipatory Set: TSW recall several types of plants and flowers. TT and sw organize these
plants and flowers in two columns based on similarities.
.
Guided Practice: TTW discuss these relationships and introduce the concept of gymnosperms.
Teacher Input: TTW walk around and monitor the students ensuring they are managing time
and on task. TTW ask certain questions that make connections between previous lessons and
the gizmo. TTW also questions the demonstrates retention of the lesson and understanding of
the difference between acquired traits and inherited traits.
