Homework
1-2 hours per week. Your student will have 1-2 review activities each week, one project, and review games to check their understanding of this course. All work can be completed digitally or printed for convenience. Project #1 DNA Model (Week 1)Class Experience
US Grade 6 - 8
**This course is a Flexible Schedule Course, not live.** In this course, which is geared toward an introduction to DNA and genetics, your student will learn: Week 1 - DNA - Recorded Lesson: What is DNA? - Video on DNA - Digital Worksheet on DNA and Chromosomes - Project #1: DNA Model - Directions and Rubric Week 2 - **Gamete Production** (Meiosis) - Recorded Lesson: Meiosis - Video on Meiosis and Inheritance - Practice Ordering the Steps of Meiosis - Review Week 3 - Mendelian Inheritance & Punnett Squares - Recorded Lesson: Mendelian Genetics (Monohybrid Crosses) - Video on Monohybrid Crosses and Using Punnett Squares - Digital Worksheet - Practice Problems - Monohybrid Crosses - Review Week 4 - Mendelian Inheritance & Punnett Squares continued - Recorded Lesson: Mendelian Genetics (Dihybrid Crosses) - Video on Dihybrid Crosses and Using Punnett Squares - Digital Worksheet - Practice Problems - Dihybrid Crosses - Review Quiz Each week there will be a short lesson, videos for reinforcement, group activities, review games, and vocabulary review. Students will be given weekly note sheets, one project (DNA model), digital practice sheets, and small (optional) quizzes to test your student's understanding. All work can be completed digitally, but if your student prefers doing the projects on paper, the following materials are suggested: paper, colored pencils, and small household items for the DNA model.
Learning Goals
By the end of this course, your student will understand the basics of genetic material and inheritance. They will learn about the structure and function of DNA, that genes are located on chromosomes, how genetic material is passed from parent to offspring (cells only, no other details), and how to calculate the probability of traits being passed from parent to offspring.Other Details
Parental Guidance
Meiosis is the formation of gametes, the cells used in reproduction. We are only addressing the cell division and the random assortment of DNA that leads to genetically diverse offspring.
Supply List
All work can be completed digitally. If your student prefers doing the projects on paper, the following materials are suggested: paper, colored pencils, and small household items for the DNA model.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Indiana Teaching Certificate in Science
Bachelor’s Degree in Science from Ball State University
Welcome to my Outschool profile! I'm an enthusiastic science educator with a passion for inspiring young minds. With over a decade of teaching experience, I specialize in middle and high school sciences, including chemistry, physics, and biology.
My approach to teaching is all about making science relatable, exciting, and empowering for students. I focus not just on the facts but on teaching them how to think like scientists, solve problems, and use scientific language effectively. This builds their confidence and helps them see science as a skill they can master, opening doors to further exploration and advanced studies.
Whether you're looking for ongoing classes, one-time sessions, or semester-long courses, I offer a range of options to suit your needs. I'm also available for personalized tutoring and test preparation. If you are still looking for a time or topic that fits your schedule, feel free to reach out, and I'll do my best to accommodate you.
Let's embark on a journey of discovery and learning together! I can't wait to share my love for science with your students. Contact me to discuss how we can make science come alive in a way that's meaningful and fun for them. See you in class!Reviews
