What educators are saying

This was great to supplement a lesson I did on phenotypes in the classroom. It kept my students focused on the topic and ready for our project. It also served as a great reference source.
This resource was perfect for adding to our notebook. It was an excellent summary of the information that we needed to know with differentiation options. Thank you!

Description

Are you looking for a middle school science activity about genetic variation? These NO PREP human impact notes help middle school science students learn about how the DNA from two parents is combined to create offspring unique offspring. Genetic variation occurs because 50% of the offspring's DNA comes from each parent.

Please click the PREVIEW to see what is included in this ready-to-use genetic variation resource.

  • These notes focus on the genetic variation in sexual reproduction.
  • Vocabulary covered includes chromosomes, alleles, genes, DNA, dominant and recessive alleles, homozygous and heterozygous alleles, genotype, phenotype, and Punnett Squares.
  • Sketch notes are great for interactive science notebooks and are visually engaging, have graphics, and are a concise way to cover middle school science topics. These notes provide a framework for students.
  • A slideshow guides students as they fill out their notes and learn about human activities and climate change
  • Claim Evidence Reasoning or CER questions on genetic variation and sample answers are included. CER science writing encourages critical thinking and is great for practice and assessment.
  • Digital and printable options for a quiz are included

This resource is for the 6th grade middle school science NGSS classroom.

These notes work towards mastering NGSS MS-LS3-2:

Develop and use a model to describe why asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information and sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation.

NGSSMS-LS3-2
Develop and use a model to describe why asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information and sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation. Emphasis is on using models such as Punnett squares, diagrams, and simulations to describe the cause and effect relationship of gene transmission from parent(s) to offspring and resulting genetic variation.
