Science Lesson Plans

Predict simple ratios of offspring genotypes and phenotypes in crosses involving dominant/recessive gene pairs.

Represent patterns of inheritance of a simple dominant/ recessive characteristic through generations of a family.

Develop a timeline for the historical background of the development of the current Atomic Model that identifies tiny particles as atoms.

Draw the structure of an atom in terms of the nucleus and electron shells.

Differentiate the subatomic particles protons, neutrons, and electrons in terms of their symbol, mass, charge, and location within an atom.

Use models, flow charts, diagrams, and simulations to explain how body systems work together, such as digestion and excretion.

Describe how plant organs (leaf, stem, roots) work together as the transport system.

Using a labeled diagram, trace how food travels through the digestive tract and explain how different digestive processes work, including mechanical processing, secretion, digestion, absorption, and elimination.

Explain why humans are classified under Class Mammalia and the Order Primates.

Describe the importance of the six-kingdom system and the three-domain system of classification of living things.

Plan a scientific investigation to verify the raw materials needed for photosynthesis.

Using flow charts and labeled diagrams explain the role of plants and animals in the cycles of nature, such as the carbon, oxygen, and water cycles.

Describe the process of photosynthesis and respiration, and identify its raw materials needed and products.

Using information from secondary sources identify the different parts of the cell where photosynthesis and respiration occur.
