Life Science 1/27-1/31

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.
