Ciencias de la escuela secundaria: herencia, cuadros de Punnett y ADN (curso flexible)

Come explore heredity and DNA in this hands-on engaging class.

Week 1- We'll explore the basics of heredity by learning about Mendel's research, dominant and recessive traits, genes, alleles, genotype, phenotypes, incomplete dominance, and codominance. Learners will be provided with a worksheet to print out that will allow them to practice the skills they have learned. Learners will be able to practice vocabulary with a Quizlet.

Week 2- We'll learn all about Punnett Squares including the probability and ratio of traits being passed along. We'll solve several Punnett Square problems together using a teacher-provided worksheet. The bonus activity this week is an online Kahoot activity to review skills.

Week 3- This week is all about DNA! We'll start by using a Nearpod to learn about the discovery of DNA, its structure, replication, and mutations. Get ready for some Time To Climb and other games embedded in the Nearpod lesson.

Week 4- We'll wrap up our study of Heredity and DNA by making a DNA model using candy. Learners will need to provide toothpicks, Twizzlers, and small candy pieces (dots, gummy bears, or mini marshmallows work best). A lab sheet will be provided with step-by-step directions. We'll also have a wrap-up Kahoot game to review all vocabulary and skills learned throughout the course.

Active engagement will be provided through posts in the classroom, teacher-created videos, a Nearpod lesson, online games with Kahoot, and Quizlet. Learners will be encouraged to interact with their classmates by posting pictures in the classroom and engaging in online discussion posts in the classroom. I can't wait to teach you all about heredity, Punnett Squares, and DNA!!
