1. Bellwork Complete the sheet to show your current understanding of the key words associated with genetics.

2. Bellwork What do I already know about these words? genes, DNA, chromosomes, nucleus Complete first section of your thinking wheelthinking wheel to show what you already know.

3. By the end of the lesson to be successful you: Must * Describe the terms genes, chromosomes and DNA. * Describe the structure of DNA. Should * Explain the relationship between DNA, genes & chromosomes. * Describe how the structure of DNA relates to its function. Could * Explain how scientists can use their knowledge of genetics to manipulate living organisms.

4. Process: How we will learn You will work responsibly to extract DNA from a living organism. You will then be resilient to create a model of DNA. We will then demonstrate that we are resourceful learners by finding out about the structure of DNA. We will periodically reflect on our progress to demonstrate our learning. Benefits: Why we will learn it By knowing about genetic information, scientists can learn more about how our cells function. The information will also give us a greater understanding of genetic disease.

5. What will Success look like?  Kiwi experiment statements correctly ordered.  Photo of the experiment & conclusion written.  You have a model of DNA & have taken a photo of your model.  An explanation of chromosomes, genes & DNA. Kiwi Assignment
