Assignment name: Reproduction and development 2

I understand how an egg is fertilized and how the resulting zygote develops.I can explain how the processes of meiosis, fertilization, mitosis and differentiation are all necessary for a fetus to grow and develop.

Do Now and the exit ticket
Learning Targets:  I understand how an egg is fertilized and how the resulting zygote develops.I can explain how the processes of meiosis, fertilization, mitosis and differentiation are all necessary for a fetus to grow and develop.

Students will be able to compare and contrast sexual and asexual reproduction, including uniform and diverse offspring; describe how genetic information is passed from parent to offspring; describe the advantages and disadvantages of each type of reproduction; explain how genetic information is altered through mutations.



Standards:
MS-LS1.B.1 Organisms reproduce, either sexually or asexually, and transfer their genetic information to their offspring.
MS-LS1.B.2 Animals engage in characteristic behaviors that increase the odds of reproduction.

A review of todays lesson.  Should be done at the end of class


LT. I can identify the parts of the male reproductive system and explain their functions.
I can describe the role of sperm in human reproduction.

Use the Mitosis/meiosis slides to answer the questions below.

Review of required vocabulary.

Is genetic engineering a good thing or a bad thing?What is your opinion?

Use all of your classwork from the last week to complete the project of your choice found below:

Choose one of the following tasks:


1. Write a letter to a friend on Google Docs explaining what genetic engineering is and why you think it is good or bad. Include at least 3 pieces of text evidence to support your opinion.

2. Using the information from the reading, create an educational pamphlet or power point with pictures to advertise your point of view on genetic engineering. Is it beneficial? Is it harmful? Use at least 5 pieces of evidence from the text to support your opinion.

3. Using your Do Now notes, evidence from the readings, your annotations, and any other information from a reliable source, write a 3-5 paragraph essay explain why genetic engineering is either harmful or beneficial to people. Use at least 6 pieces of text evidence to support your opinion.

Genetic engineering project day 2
Continue to work on the project. Remember to choose one , the letter or the PowerPoint.

Classwork for Wednesday 3/17!
Is genetic engineering a good thing or a bad thing?What is your opinion?

Read and annotate the attached article. Use Kami to fill in the 2 graphic organizers with Pros and Cons of Genetic Engineering.

Complete the word document by answering the questions. You will find the information on the genetic engineering powerpoint.

The purpose is to familiarize students with the Regents format. How to read the questions, and the value of the questions.
Students will be able to recall information and make connections to the lesson thought.

Students learn how engineers apply their understanding of DNA to manipulate specific genes to produce desired traits, and how engineers have used this practice to address current problems facing humanity. They learn what genetic engineering means and examples of its applications, as well as moral and ethical problems related to its implementation. Students fill out a flow chart to list the methods to modify genes to create GMOs and example applications of bacteria, plant and animal GMOs.

Learning Targets:
1. I can explain what a mutation is and what causes them.
2. I understand that the environment can cause changes in the expression of genes/traits.

Learning Targets:
1. I understand the structure and function of DNA.
2. I understand that all living things contain DNA in the nucleus of their cells.

In the attached document you will find the link to the virtual lab(How to extract DNA) as you work on the lab make sure you answer the questions on the document.

Read the assigned text and answer the questions on the HW#3 worksheet.

Classwork reading.
