Lesson Plan for the Week of February 18, 2014 - Revised

Tuesday:  Snow Day

Wednesday:  Students will be introduced to the following vocabulary terms:  genes, alleles, phenotype, and genotype.  Students will then begin creating a paper pet.  This project needs to be completed at home.  Students will need random craft materials (buttons, ribbons, yarn, glitter, sequins, etc.) to add to their pet.  Please do not purchase these materials.  If a student does not have access to any craft items, they should see me BEFORE the due date.  Paper Pets are due on Friday.

Thursday:  Students will be introduced to the vocabulary terms 'DNA' and 'nucleotides'.  Students will then be given the writing assignment "Science Study Question: Genetics".  Students will use their computers to take notes over the relationship between chromosomes, genes, nucleotides and DNA.  The first rough draft for this assignment is due on Monday.

Friday:  Two-hour delay
Due:  Paper Pet.
Students will color frog plates or work on the paragraph that is due on Monday.
