Objective this week: To learn how animal and plant specializations lead to long-term survival/reproductive success.
Monday
Watch a video over the human genome and mutations.
Tuesday
Introduce the topic of body specialization and survival/reproduction. Have a class question/answer session over the topic. Have students draw an animal, plant, or other life form randomly and then brainstorm ideas over how this organism increases its odds for survival & reproduction. Then watch the video below and take notes.
Wednesday
Review information from yesterday. Use specimens from class to build on yesterday's activity. Complete a project over a pollination handout.
Thursday
Discuss plant specializations and work on project
Friday
Projects due today. Take quiz.
