Fall After School Workshop - in own county in September

Fall Inservice day: What are your inherited traits?
 * ENGAGE: **

Story of the “baby daddy”
 * EXPLORE: **
 * Set up electrophoresis to fun
 * Lab directions
 * Chart for results

Quick review of use of micropipette Review DNA and genes

Look at what happened during electrophoresis lab (diagnose the gels), discussion, photos
 * EXPLAIN: **



Introduce mitosis
 * ENGAGE: **

Slides of plant cells Drawing what they see
 * EXPLORATION/EXPLAIN: **

Use copies of mitosis phases to glue into their journal
 * EXTENSION: **

Post picture of Amy’s children…//.Why don’t they look alike?//
 * ENGAGE: **
 * ENGAGE: **

//Miosis//
 * EXPLORE: **
 * 23 pairs of chromosomes
 * Genetic diversity
 * Manipulate paper (activity)


 * EXPLANATION: **
 * 8 million different combinations
 * Reproduction – Advantage of reproduction is the variation of gene sharing


 * ENGAGE: **
 * //What three things come to mind when we saw the words “fruit fly”//
 * //What three things come to mind when we saw the words “fruit fly”//


 * EXPLORE: **
 * Patterns of inheritance
 * In computer lab: Fruit fly simulation (from HSA bridge project)


 * EXPLAIN: **
 * Follow up with Punnet Squares, phenotype, genotype
 * Pedigree Notes


 * EXTEND: **
 * Debrief Fast Plants:
 * Using what they learned with the flies, they will debrief at their table to create (phenotype, genotype, dominant/recessive, and Punnet Squares)


 * EXTEND: **
 * Non Mendalian patterns: Sex links, incomplete dominance, co-dominance, polyfactorial
