My Solution
Okay, so this unit is appallingly short, it really doesn't do justice to the material at all. Live & learn; I can only do my best with the time we have left. Note that if the unit is going well, we will probably continue it for a couple of days after the test.
I present, the calendar. I did it in table form on my computer, but I have no idea how to reproduce a table in my blog.
May 16
Male reproductive system
May 17
Female reproductive system
May 18
Meiosis pt. 1 - go over the stages, show animations on LCD projector
May 19
Meiosis pt. 2 - model it in class - homework is meiosis comic strip
May 20
Introduce structure of DNA, build models - get at what it really means when we talk about the chromosomes replicating, etc.
May 23
More on DNA, chromosomes, etc. - this is really a period planned for spending more time on whatever has been difficult so far, TBD.
May 24
Mendelian genetics - go over pea plant experiments, use them to introduce vocabulary such as trait, allele, etc.
May 25
Reebops 1 - genes code for traits - have them choose genes randomly and build the parent reebops.
May 26
Field Trip to see Anne Frank play - will we have class?
May 27
Field Trip to see Ballet Hispanico - will we have class?
May 30
Memorial Day - no school
May 31
Reebops 2 - introduce Punnett Squares, have students mate their reebops on paper with other reebops and calculate the probability of different traits - if there is time, begin actual reebop mating & building of offspring...
June 1
State Social Studies Test - if we have class, continue with reebop mating - produce all offspring - keep records of genotype/phenotype.
June 2
State Social Studies Test - if we have class, introduce the concept of natural selection & a brief biography of Darwin
June 3
More on natural selection & evolution - do mouse camouflage activity from textbook.
June 6
Go over practice test materials & test-taking strategies...
June 7
Go over practice test materials & test-taking strategies...
June 8
