Description
Middle School Life Science - Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits (LS3)
Each standard has a full video lesson. The supplemental resource page includes the presentation with speaker notes in PDF format. It also includes links to individual practice as well as a quick assessment for each.
NOTE: The individual practice and quick assessments are for the students to assess their understanding. They can share their results with the teacher by screenshots or another method of the teacher's choosing.
MS.LS3.1 Mutations (7 min)
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.
MS.LS3.2 Asexual Reproduction (11 min)
Develop and use a model to describe why asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information.
MS.LS3.2 Sexual Reproduction (7 min)
Develop and use a model to describe why sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation.
MS.LS3.2 Sexual Reproduction and Punnett Squares (12 min)
Develop and use a Punnett Square to describe why sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation.
