Today in class you will be learning about Mendelian Genetics. Please use this worksheet to follow along with the nearpod. The code is DKGHQ.
Today we watched the science videos that students had been making this week. Write ups due next time. On Wednesday the 20th we will be having an award show! We are watching the Stop Motion Meiosis videos that students have been working on for the last two class periods. All videos will need to have a link sent to me from youtube.
Today in class we reviewed the nearpod that students went over last time on Asexual and Sexual reproduction. We talked Mitosis and did the Mitosis dance!!! We then began learning about a process called Meiosis. This is very similar to Mitosis with a few exceptions. It goes through all the phases a second time. It does not go through Interphase a second time however. We don't want the cell to duplicate its DNA again. The end product of Meiosis as a result is 4 unique cells with half of the genetic information as the parent cell. This different from Mitosis which gives us 2 identical cells. Watch the video below on Meiosis to learn more about the process and crossing over. Here is a link to the notes for Meiosis and here are links for the Stop Motion Project Information and Meiosis Write Up. After the Body Systems test we are starting a new unit! Genetics. To begin we will be learning about the difference between Asexual and Sexual Reproduction. Please go through this presentation on nearpod.com. The code is WVKUF.
Here is the review guide for the whole unit and here is a link to all the quizlets for the body system unit.
Last time we learned about the reproductive system. Look at the notes, play the quizlet and watch the video below to do well on the Mastery Check. |
