Success criteria
Language Objectives
|
Students will use a mathematical approach
to understand and solve polyhybrid
crossings.
Students will use Punnett
squares in order to understand and apply the basis for polyhybrid
crosses.
Subject-specific vocabulary &
terminology:
Genotype, phenotype, trait,
expression, variation, independent
assortment.
Useful sets of phrases for dialogue and
writing:
Dihybrid crosses are significant because

Beginning
|
Lesson start by asking students what a trait
is. Most common answers are probably related to one single trait,
or several unconnected ones.
Then,
using the smart board, show a picture that has several clearly
distinctive traits, describable as independently assorted (colour
and size, shape and colour, etc)
Then,
give students a list of related words and class
objectives
|
|
|
Middle
|
T1 and T2
will shortly give a historical insight about the works
of Stern,
H.S.
Creighton, Thomas Hunt
Morgan and B.
McChntock and
the importance of Drosophila in
biology.
T1
would ask one student to read aloud the text about drosophila in
the link on the right column.
Afterwards, T1 and T2 will use a group of
differently colored candy.
Each
color represents an INDEPENDENTLY assorted
trait.
Let
students decide what trait would that specific color will code for,
but ask them to decide whether the trait is dominant or
recessive.
Then,
students must mark one, two or none of the candy with a distinctive
sign, in order to make it either dominant or
recessive.
Students will then create with several more
candy a chart of ALL THE POSSIBLE COMBINATIONS for both traits. The
result must be a 16 trait Punnet square, all the possible
combinations must include at least one self-cross including AaBb x
AaBb, since this will explain the Mendelian model with
ease.
Then,
ask students to provide with their own results. Mendelian ratios
must be now 3:1 for mono hybrid; 9:3:3:1 for dihybrid and
27:9:9:9:3:3:3:1 for trihybrid. (TYPICAL HETEROZYGOUS
CROSSING)
T1
will then proceed to explain the “branching” method, which allows
to create long crossings with a rapid
algorithm
Students will be divided in groups of two,
and will receive a series of problems showing dihybrid and
polyhybrid crosses.
The
assessment is then given back to the teachers and lesson objectives
will be reviewed.

End
|
To close the lesson, learners will
answer:
1. How would you use polyhybrid crosses in a
real life context?
2. How can this lesson be
improved?
3. What part of the lesson was
interesting?
|
|
|
Differentiation – how do you plan to give more
support? How do you plan to challenge the more able
learners?
|
Assessment – how are you planning to check
students’ learning?
|
Health and safety
regulations
|
|
More able learners will benefit of the sorting
out in groups, since they will have the chance of guiding less able
students while filling the punnet squares and giving the phenotypic
ratios at once. Also, reading aloud is a good way of boosting
confidence in less able learners, given the fact that other
learners will be supportive and patient. .
|
Assessment in language skills is provided with
the reading activity.
Genetics is assessed when groups are working
in pairs, and then submit their problems to teachers for
grading.
|
No risks associated to this
lesson.

Reflection
Were the lesson objectives/learning objectives
realistic? Did all learners achieve the LO?
If not, why?

why?
