Performance Indicator: 2.2 Describe simple mechanisms related to the inheritance of some physical traits in offspring. Major Understanding Instructional Task Learning Objectives Student Work Assessment Tool 2.2c The probability of traits being expressed can be determined using models of genetic inheritance. Some models of prediction are pedigree charts and Punnett squares. Students will use Punnett squares to analyze traits in their families. The Punnett squares will help them make pedigrees of their families. The students will be drawing these by hand, individually, based on the teacher exemplar. This will show how the traits were inherited and passed down from generation to generation. The student will be able to create Punnett squares to analyze family traits. The student will be able to construct a pedigree of their family which will represent genetic inheritance of traits over the generations. Students will create Punnett squares to find their possible gene combination of traits. Students will draw pedigrees to show which family members possess certain traits based on a list of traits previously given to them. Students will title their work what they choose, as long as it pertains to the topic ex: “My Family Traits”, “A Look at the Ferland Family” A 4 Point Pedigree Rubric will be used to score the students work and make sure they traced the traits accurately through the generations, as well as set up the pedigree correctly. -3 generations are included -1 trait per generation is indicated on each person in the pedigree -the list of their traits is included -Punnett squares are included to show the crosses. -mapped correctly -title and labels
