BH1
|
CONTENT: Selectively
Permeable Membranes and Osmosis: Cellular
function is based on the cellular organelles, e.g.., cell membrane, mitochondria,
nucleus, ribosomes, an chloroplasts, etc.
PERFORMANCE Lab Report: Students will observe how a selectively permeable membrane works. They will understand the process of osmosis in cells placed in varying solutions of salt concentrations |
|
|
BH2
|
CONTENT: Organic
Compounds Life processes in the cell are based
on molecular interaction.
|
|
|
BH3 | CONTENT: Mitosis
Cells
divide through mitosis or meiosis. Mitosis is required for growth of the
organism, while meiosis produces sex cells.
PERFORMANCE: Drawings, Presentations Students will recognize the different stages of mitosis, examine the mitotic phases in plant and animal cells, and diagram the chromosome changes. |
|
(Using spreadsheets...?? Tutorials, etc.) |
BH4 | CONTENT: Clues
from the Karyotype Each
chromosome is made of DNA. The part of the DNA that codes for a protein
is called the DNA.
PERFORMANCE: Chart, Karyotype: Students will observe similarities and differences among human chromosomes, construct a karyotype, and infer chromosomal abnormalities from these karyotypes. |
|
Oral Presentations/(Demo?)
|
BH5
|
CONTENT: A Study
in Population Genetics 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: Demonstration Students will calculate the frequency of dominant, recessive, incomplete, and codominance for certain human traits in a sample population.They will demonstrate that genes do not necessarily occur in equal numbers in a population. |
|
|
BH6
|
CONTENT: The
Role of Natural Selection 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: Analysis: Students will explain how natural selection can change gene pools, and analyze how natural selection leads to adaptation of a species to a changing environment. |
|
|
BH7
|
CONTENT: Amino
Acid Sequences and Evolutionary Relationships : The
millions of different species of plants, animals, and microorganisms
that live on earth today are related by descent from a common ancestor.
PERFORMANCE: Lab Report: Students will compare amino acid sequences in proteins of several vertebrates, They will study amino acid differences and infer evolutionary relationships among diverse organisms. |

CONTENT:
Identifying Bacteria: Prokaryotes
are commonly referred to as bacteria. They are the earliest living
organisms, having evolved from about 3.5 billion years ago. Prokaryotes
are the most numerous organism, and can be found in all habitats. They
are very important to all other forms of life as decomposers, and
the key organisms in life-sustaining chemical cycles.
PERFORMANCE: Lab Report : Students will identify bacteria by their shape, mobility and ability to accept a gram stain. |
