February 6 and 7
Due: Chromosome questions sheet
Objective: Students can explain how living things start as one stem cell that divides and specializes into all of the different tissues of an organisms.
Students can explain what stem cells are, where stem cells come from, and how stem cells could be used to treat and cure diseases.
Finish karyotype activity on the netbooks
Take notes and watch a video on stem cells
Introduce/hand out rubrics for stem cell project
Assignment: Start thinking about ideas for project
B.6.2 Understand that most cells of a multicellular organism contain the same genes but develop from a single cell (e.g., a fertilized egg) in different ways due to differential gene expression.
B.6.3 Explain that in multicellular organisms the zygote produced during fertilization undergoes a series of cell divisions that lead to clusters of cells that go on to specialize and become the organism’s tissues and organs.

February 12/13- Cell cycle and DNA replication
Objective: Students can list reasons why a cell would need to replicate. Students can describe the stages of the cell cycle, focusing first on the S stage where DNA is replicated. Students can describe the stages of replication and compare/contrast the process to transcription.
Present Cell Cycle
Introduce the idea of cell division- list reasons we need to make new cells, talk about how many chromosomes we need, differentiate between mitosis and meiosis
Look at a picture of the cell cycle and briefly discuss what stages occur. Whiteboard Cell Cycle- how can you remember the order and what happens in each stage?
Discuss why we would need to copy our DNA
Read section on DNA replication, take notes on three main steps
Show DNA structure/replication video
Whiteboard models of replication
Assignment: DNA replication worksheet
B.7.4 Explain the process by which a cell copies its DNA and identify factors that can damage DNA and cause changes in its nucleotide sequence.

February 14/15
Due: DNA replication worksheet
Objective: Students can explain how mutations would occur during cell replication.
Student can describe the steps of mitosis and how they would allow for a cell to create an identical genetic copy of itself.
Review DNA replication- play replication game online
Revisit mutations- mutagens reading
Stages of Mitosis pipecleaner simulation and notes
Assignment: Stages of mitosis worksheet
B.7.4
B.7.5 Explain and demonstrate how inserting, substituting or deleting segments of a DNA molecule can alter a gene, how that gene is then passed to every cell that develops from it and how the results may be beneficial, harmful or have little or no effect on the organism.
B.6.1 Describe the process of mitosis and explain that this process ordinarily results in daughter cells with a genetic make-up identical to the parent cells.
