Lesson Plan for May 23, 2013

Good morning/afternoon everyone. Today you will be learning about pedigrees, karyotypes, and chromosomal disorders using the Internet as your guide.

You will need to use your time wisely today in order to get through all of the activities. I suggest that you do not sit with people who will distract you from doing your work. Additionally, do not use this time to mess with your online playlists, email, Powerschool, or anything else; otherwise you will not be able to complete the activities.

Please begin by reading through the inclass notes, evaluating the pedigrees in the notes, & completing the provided pedigree worksheet. Have these checked by your teacher. Then you can move on to the online activities.


1. Pedigree Investigator

  • Complete the activity as explained on the site. However, you only need to complete two pedigrees, not the four like it says. Have one of your two pedigrees checked by your teacher.

 2. Build a karyotype

  • Complete the activity as explained on the site. Show your constructed karyotype to your teacher.
 

3. Abnormal karyotype

  • Take notes as you go through the simulations. When you are finished, take the quiz at the end and show your quiz result to your teacher.
   
4. Chromosome Map (similar to poster in room from genome project)

  • Find three disorders that you know located on three different chromosomes. Record the disorder and their locations on a sheet of paper (9 total)

  • Pick three other disorders that you don't know about, quickly research it, and write a two to three sentence summary of each disorder, including its location on the chromosome. Complete this on the same sheet of paper as above. Turn this in to your teacher within 24 hours of the assignment being given.
 
Sweet! You're all done.
