What does effective science instruction look like?
• Engage– Question, discussion, activity, uncover ideas (Discovery and
PBS Learning)• Explore
– Lab activities (Essential Lab/hands-on investigations, Gizmos)• Explain
– Conclusion writing/lab report, C-E-R, discussion, Notebooks/Journals
• Elaborate– Discussion, real-world connections
• Evaluate: formative and summative by benchmark

Making Babies
• Draw/sketch the face of a baby (2 min.)
• Use at least one of the following terms in an introduction of your baby face:– offspring -heredity– gene -sexual reproduction– trait -asexual reproduction– phenotype -chromosome– genotype -Punnett Square10 points for each term used correctly

Benchmark SC.7.L.16.1 Understand and explain that every organism requires a set of instructions that specifies its traits, that this hereditary information (DNA) contains genes located in the chromosomes of each cell, and that heredity is the passage of these instructions from one generation to another. (Also assesses SC.7.L.16.2 and SC.7.L.16.3.) Also Assesses SC.7.L.16.2 Determine the probabilities for genotype and phenotype combinations using Punnett squares and pedigrees.

Conclusion Writing Claim-Evidence-Reasoning
• Students should support their own written claims with appropriate justification.
• Science education should help prepare students for this complex inquiry practice where students seek and provide evidence and reasons for ideas or claims (Driver, Newton and Osborne, 2000).

Common Core State Standards Connections
Currently we continue to use the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS); however, during teaching and learning, whenever applicable, connections to Common Core State Standards in Language Arts and Mathematics need to be established.
Common Core benchmarks are aligned to Science courses in the M-DCPS Pacing Guides

Animal CSI or from science lab to crime lab
By Emily Sohn/ March 26, 2008 (http:/ /www.sciencenewsforkids.org/?s=DNA )
Robbery, vandalism, murder: Crimes happen every day. But people aren’t the only victims of illegal activity. Bad guys can also target animals. And since animals can’t tell police officers what they’ve seen, these are some of the toughest cases to solve.
Particularly challenging are the crimes that involve poaching—taking animals from the wild that are protected by law. Poachers can make a lot of money selling meat, tusks, fur, fins, and other parts of protected animals.
Federal inspectors took this suitcase from a traveler passing through Miami’s airport. Inside were poached shark fins and seahorses that NOAA enforcement officers later sent to researchers at Nova Southeastern University in Florida for identification.
R. Horn/Nova Southeastern Univ. Oceanographic Ctr.
Poaching can devastate even large wildlife populations if too many animals are taken in any year or from any area. The problem becomes even more serious when a species is endangered. Then, losing even a few animals can make it harder for the species to survive.
What’s really bad is that poaching creates an unfortunate cycle: As the animals become more rare, their parts become more valuable. So, poachers earn even greater rewards for their collection of protected species.
Now, scientists are helping fight back. Using the genetic material DNA, they are finding ways to clinch hard-to-solve cases involving a wide range of creatures, from elephants to seahorses.

First Draft Written Response to Essential Question
Using evidence from the text, why is it important to consider positive and negative impacts on society and/or individuals, when using DNA as evidence of a crime?
26
HandoutHandout
In small groups, take positions and discuss which factor is most significant/impactful
(based on the text), and come to consensus.
Group Consensus
Individual Vote #1
Individual Vote #2
Positive ImpactNegative ImpactProblemSolution
1) Count number of groups that selected each category.2) Count number of individuals that selected each category.
3) After hearing discussion and text-based evidence, did you change your mind? New independent vote! (Modification - Four Corners)
Question GenerationPurpose: To provide students with a demonstration of question generation and the opportunity for them to interact with the text by generating questions to further deepen their comprehension.
28
Generate questions unanswered from your first text reading. Record your questions on your Student Question Generation paper as you work in pairs or small groups. In your groups, select one question and place on grid at front of room in appropriate category.
Final Response After Rereading and Extended Text Discussion
• Purpose: To provide opportunities for students to interact with the text and with their peers to:– identify text information most significant to the final/essential
question.– facilitate complex thinking and deep comprehension of text.
After the final discussion, answer the following question on your handout:
According to the text and extended text discussion, which factor is most likely the primary concern for scientists when conducting DNA analysis?
How does scientific research impact society?
