Science Classroom Connection

Students will identify five scientists who contributed their evolutionary thoughts to the scientific field, and state the observations and findings (or beliefs) that were put forth by each of these scientists.

Students will be evaluated upon the inheritance patterns and the characteristics of human genetics that are based upon the class discussions and reinforcements that we have done in and out of class. Students need to review all pertinent information from their handouts, notebooks, and use their textbooks as reference guides to help them clarify any major points or information that they may have prior to the test!

Since students will be having a chapter test tomorrow, Thursday, April 26, 2012, we will be doing a question and answer session to be better prepared for this summative evaluation.

Students will review for their chapter test on Thursday by reinforcing the material through another concept map along with a brief assessment as a self-quiz, and determine their comprehension skills on patterns of inheritance and human genetics by answering question #’s: 1, 2, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, 19, & 22 on page 250!

The student will create a concept map with context clues, similar to the ones that we have done in class since the beginning of this semester, that is based upon the plethora of concepts and ideas that we have learned about in the patterns of inheritance and human genetics.
