2/10 Achieve "Wolves in Dog's Clothing"/ Gizmo Chicken Genetics

Teacher: Gainous

Unit/Session: Gizmo/Achieve Day - Wolves in Dog's Clothing 

Date of Instruction:  2/10/22

Standard/s: 

S7L3. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to explain how organisms reproduce

either sexually or asexually and transfer genetic information to determine the traits of their

offspring.

1. Construct an explanation supported with scientific evidence of the role of genes and chromosomes in the process of inheriting a specific trait.

2. Develop and use a model to describe how asexual reproduction can result in offspring with identical genetic information while sexual reproduction results in genetic variation.

Learning Target/ Teaching Point:

I can explain how organisms reproduce and transfer genetic information. 

Success Criteria:

• Explain how genes and chromosomes determine inherited traits

• Know the father of genetics and his experiments

• Use a model to predict genetic variation of offspring

Opening (I Do)

An engaging process for lesson introduction that is specifically planned to encourage equitable and purposeful student participation. Describe the instructional process that will be used to introduce the lesson.

TKES 1, 2, 3,4,5, 8,10

INTRODUCTION/CONNECTION: 

Science Starter 

DIRECT INSTRUCTION:

Introduce the article by reading the title and discussing the main idea of genes and how some of today's wolves inherited traits that were deliberately bred into ancient dogs. Article: Wolves in Dog's Clothing.Next, introduce the gizmo (Chicken Genetics) to work on after the achieve article

Work Period  (We Do, You Do)

Students learning by doing/demonstrating learning expectations.  Describe the instructional process that will be used to engage the students in the work period.

TKES 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7. 8,10

GUIDED PRACTICE: 

Review vocabulary, main idea, the thought question, and how to utilize achieve tools to prepare students for the activity and thought question. 

Complete the first page of the gizmo together and show students how to manipulate the gizmo. 

INDEPENDENT/COLLABORATIVE PRACTICE/DIFFERENTIATION:

Students will complete the teenbiz article first, and will then work on completing the first two pages of the gizmo after. 

Closing  (We Check)

Describe the instructional process that will be used to close the lesson and check for student understanding .
