SC.912.L.16.2 - Discuss observed inheritance patterns caused by various modes of inheritance, including dominant, recessive, co-dominant, sex-linked, polygenic, and multiple alleles.


Teacher Demo: Do a basic punnett square for rolling of the tongue. Have students all explore the dominant trait that is the rolling of the tongue and explain to them why some cannot do this.

 – Pen/pencil
-Overhead
- Doc Cam


Common Core Standard(s)
SC.912.L.16.2 - Discuss observed inheritance patterns caused by various modes of inheritance, including dominant, recessive, co-dominant, sex-linked, polygenic, and multiple alleles. 
Lesson/Instructional Objective(s)
While students complete the web quest they will complete questions 1-5 (Q1-Q5) with 70% accuracy (31.5/45)
Hook/Anticipatory Set

(How will you motivate the students?)
The punnet square practice on the board last class was a little insight to this lesson; picking up where that left off is how students will be motivated to learn.

The class will begin with a bell ringer activity to solve a very special punnet square between a werewolf-human and a vampire-human (lesson2 figure1).
Procedures


1)      Anticipatory activity (Twilight genetics)
2)      Page one of lab will be need to be used for written vocab review and instructional purposes, whereas page two will be filled out and submitted electronically in RED color (standard). (5 min.)
3)      Students will finish review with 100% accuracy before signing out a laptop (or heading down to computer lab). (10 min.)
4)      Students will be instructed how to log in and how to find the web quest page via teacher demo + written instructions. (5 min.)
5)      Students will follow along on the .docx file (page 2) and fill it out accordingly in RED. (45 min)
6)      Students will then share their aliens with the class and discuss how many different genetic variances we got and why as a class.

Assessment of learning Outcomes

(This should have been identified in the objective.)

Test and quizzes are only one type of assessment and are not the best way to check for understanding.

(Unit plans should have an informal assessment)


Students will be able to identify traits that human beings inherit. Students will be capable of recognizing traits are inherited via parents. Students will be able to explain how these traits inherited between child and parents are similar, but different.

While students complete the web quest they will complete questions 1-5 (Q1-Q5) with 70% accuracy (31.5/45)
Closure

(How will you summarize what you have discussed?)
Challenge #1: Students will rush through web quest and recklessly click through and miss some information, unable to return.
Accommodation #1: Students are clearly warned in the handout and will be verbally warned to carefully follow directions.
Challenge #2: Teaching students how to manipulate Microsoft word.
Accommodation #2: Teacher will demo on overhead how to change text color.
Challenge #3: Students will misunderstand how to print screen and paste.
Accommodation #3: Teacher will demo on overhead how to print screen, and paste it onto the .docx



Accommodations and Modifications for
ELLs



-Translated instructions (with help from para)
-Para professional help (translation of instructions)
-Visual model (teacher demo)
Accommodations and Modifications for
ESE


Can record lectures (with awareness of instructor), extra time of test, hands on activities, group work, Use charts, tables, and graphic organizers, skeleton notes, translating key concepts.
Extensions for Gifted Students
-Recording their alien’s entire genome. Using this genome they will partner up and combine aliens. They will create a punnett square for each trait between the two of them (one copy both names)
-This step can be repeated with another partner
