Where is the genetic material located in your cells?

Learning Target We will use a model to demonstrate the role that chromosomes play in the inheritance of genes

What is this image?

Let’s Read the top of D-47

Reading p. 48 Read in your groups – and discuss and answer the questions You decide – take turns reading out loud or everyone reads silently and then “stops to think” We will go over as a class in about 20 minutes and I will provide the diagrams you need to finish

Finished? On p. 60 of NB - what are the steps of cell division? Is this the same process for sex cells?

HW: Finish Activity 63 except page 3 PUSH IN YOUR CHAIR PLEASE!!!

Tuesday February 23, 2016 Planner: – HW: Check Gradebook You Need: – Today: Daily 5 Do Now: Take out Activity 63 for me to stamp and be ready to discuss pages 1 and 2

Learning Target We will create a model demonstrating the role that chromosomes play in the inheritance of genes

Discussion/Corrections

Mitosis- Cell Division

Function of Cell division The function of cell division in single celled organisms is reproduction. The function in multi-celled organisms is growth and repair.

Thursday February 25, 2016 Planner: – HW: Complete Act. 64 prelab (including procedure) and start to study vocabulary for March 8 unit test! You Need: – Today: Daily 5 - clear everything else off desks! Do Now: Trim and Tape pages 1/ 2 of Activity 64 to p. 63 of Notebook; analysis (page 3) onto p. 62

Learning Target We will investigate how environment affects the ratio of green:yellow plants

62 63

Let’s Read Together on p. 55

Materials List p add to lesson 12 Nicotiana seeds 1 clear petri dish 1 black petri dish 2 pieces of germinating paper water/dropper masking tape/marking pen

What are the Variables? Controlled: Manipulated: Responding:

What are the Variables? Controlled: number of seeds, type of seeds, amt of water, time to grow, spacing of seeds, 1 germ. paper Manipulated: amount of sunlight Responding: ratio of green: yellow

What is the question?

What is the Hypothesis? If ________________________ then _____________________________________ because_______________________________ ______________________________________

Format for the Hypothesis If ________________________ then _____________________________________ because_______________________________ ______________________________________ we increase/decrease the manipulated variable the responding variable will increase/decrease reason that connects to the genetic unit we are studying or other background knowledge

What is our Procedure Look back at Activity 55/62

HW: Finish prelab (including procedure); Genetics Test on March 8 PUSH IN YOUR CHAIR PLEASE!!!

Friday February 26, 2016 Planner: – HW: Genetics Test on March 8 You Need: – Today: Daily 5 Do Now: Open Activity 64 to your procedure so we can decide on a class procedure

Learning Target We will investigate how environment affects the ratio of green:yellow plants

What is the question?

What is the Hypothesis? If ________________________ then _____________________________________ because_______________________________ ______________________________________

Procedure

1.Label the bottom of both a clear and a black petri dish with period & table using masking tape/sharpie 2.Place germinating paper in dishes - add water 3.Place 6 Nicotiana seeds in each dish - space 4.When done, place on window sill Seeds are up front - D’s bring petri dishes up

Finished? Clean/dry your desk area and return bin Come and get Activity 65 - trim and tape 1/2 onto p. 65 of your notebook and the analysis (page 3) onto page 64
