Goal: Your goal is to predict the characteristics running in a family and decide which
mode of inheritance is observed.
Role: You are a geneticist/genealogist.
Audience: A married couple
Situation:
A married couple has been blessed with a baby due in four months. They are so
excited that they want to have a clue on the possible features of the baby but they dont
want to undergo an ultrasound examination believing that it may harm their baby. You have
been hired to give them an idea about the babys characteristics.
Through an in depth study of two generations from both parents (the baby is the third
generation already), you will predict the babys physical characteristics.

Product/Performance:
You have been asked to present a pedigree chart leading to the baby. The pedigree
chart should be of three levels and must consist of at least 12 members in the family.
You have been tasked to perform one of the following:
Product 1 - A pedigree analysis of the different blood types in the family as well as
the presence of hemophilia (bleeding disorder)
Product 2 - A pedigree analysis of facial features like widow`s peak, cleft, and
dimples.
Product 3 A pedigree analysis of how pattern baldness is observed in the family.

ecosystem is changing due to human interaction or natural forces. Describe a solution to saving
the ecosystem and explain to the community how they can get involved in the solution.

Product - Create a poster, wikipage, PowerPoint, podcast or video report using moviemaker to
share the information you have learned. Your product needs to include the following:
1) Illustration and description of the ecosystem that includes all living and nonliving
elements.
2) Explanation how living and nonliving things interact and depend one on another. You
may choose to illustrate this, but you must include captions to explain the cycles of interaction
and dependency.
3) Illustration and explanation of the energy cycle in the ecosystem.
4) Detailed description and explanation of how the ecosystem has been affected by human

Campaign to Save the Rainforest!


Situation: Hundreds of years ago, tropical rainforests encircled the globe, much like long green
arms hugging the equator and covering twenty percent of the earth's surface. Reduced to a six
percent, the diminishing rain forest provides homes for more than half of all of the plant and
animal species living in the world today. Rapid deforestation has endangered this tropical
paradise. Today's changing world has created new challenges for the survival of the rainforests.
You are fighting to preserve a section of the rainforest which is scheduled to be destroyed. You
know that somewhere in this portion of jungle lies the cure for the dreaded disease "squackalitis".
Students everywhere are counting on you to determine which plant in this area holds the cure.
You must find a way to stop the developers from destroying the forest so that you can develop the
cure. Your job is to argue for the saving of the land.

Task: You will work to develop a "campaign" to save the rainforest (A campaign is when people
get together to accomplish a purpose). This campaign will be shown through a PowerPoint project.
Project should include showing the value of the rainforest and giving alternate suggestions for
land developers.

Procedure: In order to create a well-developed campaign to save the rainforest, you must
gather as much information as you can. Before you begin your campaign, locate background
information on the following:
a. What makes a rainforest?
b. Determine areas in the world in which rainforests are located.
c. Why do we need the rainforests?
d. Why are rainforests in danger?
e. Why are the rainforest plants and animals in danger?
f. What are some alternate locations/plans for land developers?

VARIATIONS OF INHERITANCE PATTERN

Task:

Arrange students in group of 2-3 students, and pass out four index cards. Students should
label each card in the center as Intermediate Inheritance, Multiple Alleles, Polygenic
Inheritance, and The Importance of Environment to represent the four section, on P. 215-217 in
the text, Biology: Exploring Life (Campbell, Williamson, & Hayden, 2004)

For each section, students start by reading aloud the section within their group. To do this,
they should take turns reading out loud to each other. When they finish a section, students should
identify words and ideas that connect with the magnet idea in the center. On the back of the
card, the group should write one sentence that includes all the main ideas of the section. The,

Newton`s Laws
TASK:

Students will apply Newtons three laws and show the relationship between them.
Students will work in small groups and design a poster that represents the relationship of two
terms. Students will provide constructive feedback during the project.

PROCEDURE:

Each group will be given terms about Newtons three laws. Your group is to design a
poster representing the relationships of the terms and later present it to the class. Your group will
decide what role each member will take. Roles consist of: researcher, material person and layout
person. The researcher will look up the meaning of the words and present them to the group. The
material person will be responsible for finding any materials needed to represent the terms. The
layout person will design the poster. As a group, you will work together to present the poster to
the class. All members should have a speaking part in the presentations and be ready to answer
any questions the class may have for you. Terms are: action/reaction, gravity/inertia,
balanced/unbalanced and frictional forces.

Product 1:
Make a concept map containing the list of abiotic factors that will be affected by the
project and show how the biotic factors depend of them.

Product 2:
Make a poster with pictures of the biotic factors of the forest and illustrate how they will
be affected by the changed that will happen to the forest.

Product 3:
Compose a poem that tells what will happen if higher order consumer will die because of
the project
