    This document outlines a two-week unit plan for a 7th grade science class on genetics. The unit focuses on comparing asexual and sexual reproduction, explaining variation within populations, and identifying genetic trait changes over generations through natural selection and selective breeding. Activities include an anticipation guide, videos, notes, labs, worksheets, and assessments. Formative assessments are conducted daily to check understanding, while summative assessments include a quiz and final test. The plan details objectives, activities, vocabulary and assessments for each of the 10 days. Interdisciplinary connections to English are made through note-taking, reading, and graphic organizers. An overall analysis finds that the unit was successful and the students grasped the key concepts.

    Lee, Brittany

    Mid-Level Spring 2015

    Student Teaching Two Week Unit Plan

    This will be entered on Tk20 as a Key Assessment and become part of your
    professional portfolio

    Title of the Unit and TEK:


    Unit 5: Genetics
    7.14(B): compare the results of uniform or diverse offspring from sexual reproduction
    or asexual reproduction;
    7.11 (B): explain variation within a population or species by comparing external
    features, behaviors, or physiology of organisms that enhance their survival such as
    migration, hibernation, or storage of food in a bulb; and
    (C): identify some changes in genetic traits that have occurred over several generations
    through natural selection and selective breeding such as the Galapagos Medium Ground
    Finch (Geospiza fortis) or domestic animals.
    TEK Verbs: Compare, Explain, Identify
    Vocabulary words: uniform, diverse, sexual reproduction, asexual reproduction,
    variation, migration, hibernation, bulb, natural selection, selective breeding
    Purpose - How will you inspire, motivate and hook your students
    Throughout the two weeks there will be different hooks such as, videos and images.
    Also, by being excited about the different activities, will motivate the students to be
    excited as well.
    How are you building relevance to the students interests?

    There will be variety of activities to incorporate different learning styles and skills. For
    example, some activities involve drawing and coloring offspring, while other activities
    are labs. Also, students will have the opportunity to create a Venn Diagram foldable
    over Asexual & Sexual Reproduction and use technology to scan QR codes in a card
    sorting activity.
    Pre /Post Assessment Pre Assessment: Anticipation guide over Genetics
    Post Assessment: Assessment over Genetics
    After reviewing the anticipation guide I was able to see what I needed to put emphasis
    on to make sure students understood. For instance, how traits are passed down from
    parent to offspring and that genetics is the scientific study of heredity. Also, I saw that
    majority of students knew that sexual reproduction involves two parents, while asexual

    Lee, Brittany

    reproduction involves one parent.


    What will you be doing for the kids to watch?

    I will always be circulating and making sure that students are on task and providing any
    assistance when needed. Also, before starting any activities I will review the procedures
    and expectations with the class.
    Some accommodations:
    When taking notes students will be provided with a graphic organizer for Cornell notes,
    this will benefit the ELL students and SPED student.
    Providing extra time when needed
    Working with a partner
    For the textbook reading (make copies of the pages and highlight the important parts)

    Overall Analysis of Unit:

    The two week unit went great. I would redo the lesson again. Some days I revised parts
    of the lesson after noticing somethings during the first class period. Majority were little
    things, for example like not showing two videos because of time. Throughout the two
    weeks I reflected with my CT and made any necessary changes. I was able to see that
    the students did grasp the concepts by their assessment scores.
