SC.7.L.16.1: Understand and explain that every organism requires a set of instructions that specifies its traits, which this hereditary information (DNA) contains genes located in the chromosomes of each cell, and that heredity is the passage of these instructions from one generation to another. (Level 3: Strategic Thinking & Complex Reasoning) Research how DNA in chickens is related to different traits in chickens. Create a presentation such as a Power Point that relates DNA to chromosomes, genes and specific traits in chickens. Describe how variations in DNA lead to the inheritance of different traits. Create a graphic organizer that illustrates the concept of heredity as it relates to DNA within chromosomes. GIZMOS: Building DNA SC. 7. L.17.2: Compare and contrast the relationships among organisms such as mutualism, predation, parasitism, competition, and commensalism. (Level 2: Basic Application of Skills & Concepts) Analyze food webs in different ecosystems and identify and explain the relationships between organisms such as mutualism, predation, parasitism, competition and commensalism in a presentation. Research symbiotic relationships and create a booklet that provides an explanation and diagram of each type. Create a graphic organizer that compares and contrasts mutualism, parasitism, and commensalism with examples of each. 8th grade
