What educators are saying

LOVED this! It had all the things needed to guide 7th grade students through their research and creating a quality presentation.
This really is a great template to give students for this research project. Each slide requirement is detailed and thorough. This helped my students because most are helpless hand raisers :)

Description

Genetic Disorder Project!

Step 1: Students choose a genetic disorder they are interested in researching.

Examples of genetic disorders students can choose from:

Down Syndrome, Parkinson’s Disease, Sickle Cell Disease, Tay-Sachs Disease, Vitiligo, Hemophilia, Albinism, Progeria, Narcolepsy, Angelman Syndrome, Huntington Disease, Maple Syrup Urine Disease, Osteogenesis Imperfecta, Treacher Collins Syndrome, Prader-Willi Syndrome, Xeroderma Pigmentosum, Fragile X Syndrome, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Cystic Fibrosis, Color Vision Deficiency, Achondroplasia, William Syndrome, Alzheimer's Disease, Turner Syndrome, Larsen Syndrome.

Step 2: Students research the genetic disorder.

Students are given five credible websites to help them research the genetic disorder they chose.

Step 3: Students develop their presentation on the genetic disorder they chose. Students are given instructions to create 10 slides on Google Slides.

Rubric for grading presentations is included! It can be printed or used digitally!

Extension: Students can present their genetic disorders to their classmates to spread awareness of different genetic disorders. A note-taking document is included in this product. As their classmates present, students write two interesting facts they learned about the genetic disorder.

  • 100% Digital! Product is created on Google Docs and Google Slides!
  • NO Teacher Prep! Post directly to GOOGLE CLASSROOM!
  • Editable to meet your needs.
  • Great for Distance Learning!

Standards

NGSSHS-LS3-3
Apply concepts of statistics and probability to explain the variation and distribution of expressed traits in a population. Emphasis is on the use of mathematics to describe the probability of traits as it relates to genetic and environmental factors in the expression of traits. Assessment does not include Hardy-Weinberg calculations.
NGSSHS-LS3-1
Ask questions to clarify relationships about the role of DNA and chromosomes in coding the instructions for characteristic traits passed from parents to offspring. Assessment does not include the phases of meiosis or the biochemical mechanism of specific steps in the process.
NGSSMS-LS3-1
Develop and use a model to describe why structural changes to genes (mutations) located on chromosomes may affect proteins and may result in harmful, beneficial, or neutral effects to the structure and function of the organism. Emphasis is on conceptual understanding that changes in genetic material may result in making different proteins. Assessment does not include specific changes at the molecular level, mechanisms for protein synthesis, or specific types of mutations.
NGSSMS-LS3-2
Develop and use a model to describe why asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information and sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation. Emphasis is on using models such as Punnett squares, diagrams, and simulations to describe the cause and effect relationship of gene transmission from parent(s) to offspring and resulting genetic variation.
NGSSHS-LS3-2
Make and defend a claim based on evidence that inheritable genetic variations may result from (1) new genetic combinations through meiosis, (2) viable errors occurring during replication, and/or (3) mutations caused by environmental factors. Emphasis is on using data to support arguments for the way variation occurs. Assessment does not include the phases of meiosis or the biochemical mechanism of specific steps in the process.
