2/16 Kesler Lab Stations

Teacher: Gainous

Unit/Session: Genetics (Kesler Lab Stations)

Date of Instruction:  2/16/22

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.

INTRODUCTION/CONNECTION: 

Science Starter 

DIRECT INSTRUCTION:

Introduce Kesler Lab Station and go over each station and how to complete each. Students will rotate between stations completing various assignments on genetics. 

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: 

The teacher will man the organize it station and will work with students to complete this station. 

INDEPENDENT/COLLABORATIVE PRACTICE/DIFFERENTIATION:

Students will work in groups to complete the following stations: 

-Read It -Watch it -Research it -Illustrate it -Assess it -Explore it -Organize it

Closing  (We Check)

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

TKES : 1,2,3, 4,5,6,7,8

SUMMARIZE/CHECK FOR UNDERSTANDING:

The teacher will use the organize it station to check for understanding
