PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:
- We are PLANNING to demonstrate how variation works by producing different probabilities of traits in our M&M experiment and applying our understanding of what continuous variation is.
Kia Ora Yr 10, this week we will continue with genetics and look at traits and variation.
Success Criteria: I can/have...
- identify traits in plants and animals,
- explain that living things inherit many traits from their parents,
- identify inherited traits in plants and animals,
- explain that offspring are not exactly the same as each other or the same as their parents,
- explain how inheriting different traits leads to variation.
- I can describe the difference between DNA, genes, chromosomes, and traits
- I can describe the building blocks of DNA in detail
- I can make a model that is representative of the DNA structure
Activities:
- Activity sheet on Google classroom on traits , notes,
- Readworks scientific literacy
- EP tasks assigned
Homework:
Complete all worksheets from this week as well as your graph.Plan for the week is as follows:
Monday: DNA extraction experiment missed due to rostering
Thursday: Consequences of inbreeding - exploring genetic illnesses and mutations ( video ) Scipad tasks, EXT: NCEA L1 workbook
Friday: Punnett squares intro and notes
