Mendelian Genetics Unit: Lesson 6: Intro to Punnet Squares
Before students can continue their monster project, they need to learn how to organize information about alleles, and predict future offspring using Punnet squares!
This lesson focuses on how to organize information without a Punnet square, and looks at the pros and cons of solving a different way, then shows the more streamlined Punnet squares with side by side comparisons so students can see the exact same information is in both.
There are levels of practice problems ranging from simple (fil

Plants: Lesson 2: Transpiration & the Xylem
In this lesson, students will take the journey through a plant via the perspective of a water droplet (traveling with a mineral). By reading an adventure-like story and illustrating it, the teacher can easily check for understanding, then later, explain the science behind what is happening.
By using a story instead of a boring text, students are more engaged and visualize processes much better. This then, can provide an excellent foundation for building vocab or understanding larger scientific

Endothermic and Ectothermic Animals Minilesson w/ SmartBoard
This is a minilesson addressing 6th grade science standards on endothermic (warm-blooded) and ectothermic (cold-blooded) animals. I used this with students as we were studying the characteristics of vertebrates and invertebrates.
Included in this lesson is:
-A 9 page SmartBoard file for students to complete as a class or individually.
-A 4 page worksheet mirroring the SmartBoard lesson for students to work along.
-A 1 page reading passage on the characteristics of endotherms and ectotherms.

Mendelian Genetics Unit: Lesson 1: Inherited vs. Acquired Traits
This lesson (60-80 minutes) was created to introduce genetics to 6-8th graders by introducing the word "trait"-- students will identify traits (initially physical, but then medical and behavioral) in celebrities and themselves that are both "inherited" or "acquired" and discuss how traits are passed on, and which traits pass on genetically.
Students will work individually and in groups, discuss traits, watch a short web cartoon from Learn.Genetics, make a foldable, read about traits, categoriz

Plants: Lesson 8: Pollination & Angiosperm Reproduction
Students explore pollination and angiosperm reproduction by looking at real flowers, playing online games, reading stories, drawing and more. As a brain break, students also have a run-around scavenger hunt to review previous plant information.
This lesson may take 2-3 class periods, depending on how long your class periods are. I did this in 2 90 minute periods. That being said, there are additional relevant do-nows, hooks etc. included at the end so you can rearrange each day as you like.

Mendelian Genetics Unit: Lesson 4: Homozygous & Heterozygous
Key terms: gene, allele, phenotype, genotype, dominant, recessive, homozygous, heterozygous, genetics
Building on the previous 3 lessons, students will look for the connection between genotypes and phenotypes, differentiate between homozygous and heterozygous genotypes, complete word studies and graphic organizers, predict possible offspring based on observable traits, use genotypic codes, solve crossword puzzles for vocabulary review and more.
This can be taught in 60-90 minutes. The lesson

Plants: Lesson 7: Experimental Design-- Writing Procedures
By this point, students should have the basics of their experiment underway-- their independent, control, and dependent variables.
We will then focus on writing good procedures by trying to follow directions that clearly do not work! After a jigsaw activity, students will come up with the rationale for writing a good procedure, fix poorly written procedures, and come up with rules for writing good procedures. Finally, students (in teams of 2-3) will begin writing their own. If time, students w

Mendelian Genetics Unit: Lesson 3: Dominant vs. Recessive
Students will review:
1. The difference between inherited and acquired traits
2. The distinction between a gene and alleles
Students will then identify and define dominant and recessive phenotypes, look for word connections for the new vocabulary, create analogies for dominant and recessive alleles, identify their own dominant and recessive traits, create a foldable illustrating a "totally dominant" and "totally recessive" cartoon person, fill out and create their own graphic organizers and mo
