UNIT OVERVIEW

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Students will…

• Trace the path of a piece of rock through the rock cycle.
• Describe how igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks are formed.
• Explore the possible transformations from one type of rock into another.

VOCABULARY

deposition, erosion, extrusive igneous rock, intrusive igneous rock, lava, lithification, magma, metamorphic rock, rock cycle, sediment, sedimentary rock, soil, weathering

ASSIGNMENT

Part 1 : Review your vocabulary. Write the vocabulary above if you haven’t done it before.

Part 2 : Go here and here and watch the videos about the rock cycle.

Part 3 : Take your handbook and answer all the questions pp62-65.

UNIT OVERVIEW

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Students will…

• Explore inheritance of two traits.
• Use Punnett squares to model the inheritance of two traits and predict probabilities of each offspring’s allele combination.
• Use two Punnett squares to model each trait independently, then multiply the probabilities to find the probability of a given allele combination.
• Use a single 4×4 Punnett square to model the inheritance of two traits.
• Define gene, trait, and allele.
• Discover how genes are passed down from parents to offspring.
• Distinguish between dominant and recessive traits.
• Use a Punnett square to predict the results of a genetic cross.
• Describe a codominant inheritance pattern.
• Predict the results of genetic crosses involving codominant traits.
• Use a Punnett square to calculate the probability of offspring genotypes.
• Explain the importance of performing multiple trials during an experiment.

VOCABULARY

allele, genotype, phenotype, probability, Punnett square

allele, codominance, dominant, genotype, heterozygous, homozygous, phenotype, probability, Punnett square, recessive, trial

allele, DNA, dominant allele, gene, genotype, heredity, heterozygous, homozygous, hybrid, inheritance, phenotype, Punnett square, recessive allele, trait

ASSIGNMENT

Part 1 : Review your vocabulary and make sure it’s written in your notebook. If there are new words in the list, please search and write the definition.

Part 2 : Make a revision sheet using the format of a TRF or Cornell notes.

• List the essential questions you may have about the unit (cf. the unit overview above)
• Write your answers
• Take some note to make sure you understand all the notions
• Visit your Gizmo account and write examples you have observed in the simulations (cell division, chicken traits, mouse traits I & II) to illustrate your notes.
