CONTENT:
Parts and Functions of a Cell Cellular
function is based on the cellular organelles, eg.,cell membrane,
mitochondria, nucleus, ribosomes, and chloroplasts, etc.Students
explore the parts within the cell that play a role in metabolic processes.
Students determine that biomolecules join together to form cell structures.
Students compare the structure of prokaryotic cells and eurkaryotic
cells and determine that different structures in each perform similar functions
.
PERFORMANCE: Oral Presentation, Cell Model : Students will work as part of a group to build a model of a cell out of materials they choose, and make a group presentation to the class. |
|
|
|
CONTENT: The
Structure and Function of DNA and Protein Synthesis: Life
processes in the cell are based on molecular interaction.
PERFORMANCE: Model of DNA and Protein: Students will work as part of a group to build a DNA model. the protein synthesized and any visible mutation. |
|
|
|
CONTENT: Meiosis
VS. Mitosis: Cells divide through mitosis
or meiosis. Mitosis is required for growth of the organism, while
meiosis produces sex cells.
PERFORMANCE: Drawing of Stages of Meiosis and Mitosis, Summary of Stages of Mitosis and Meiosis Students will diagram, label, and summarize stages of meiosis and mitosis |
|
|
|
CONTENT: The
Structure of a Chromosome Each chromosome
is made of DNA. The part of the DNA that codes for a protein is called
the DNA.
PERFORMANCE: Model of a Chromosome. Students will work in groups to build a model of a chromosome |
|
|
|
CONTENT: DNA/Genetics/Phenotypes
and Genotypes The inheritance of genes from
two parents allows the inheritance of sex linked, dominant or recessive
traits. Some traits are the result of the interaction of several
genes.
PERFORMANCE: End Product- Punnet Squares and Pedigrees Students will work individually to develop Punnet Squares and pedigrees. |
|
|
|
CONTENT: Mutations
and Environment DNA change might
result in an altered gene that can be passed on to offspring Genetic
variation is preserved or eliminated from a population through
natural
selection.
PERFORMANCE Students work in groups or individually synthesizing protein and mutations, using transcription and translating |
|
Matter of Life LE 9 |
|
CONTENT: Evolution
The
millions of different species of plants, animals, and microorganisms
that
live on earth today are related by descent from a common ancestor.
PERFORMANCE: Summary/essay of evolution video. Examine DNA sequences to relate various organisms to each other and a common ancestor. |
