7.1A-B, 7.2A, 7.3D, 7.4A-B 7.14: Organisms and environments. The student knows that reproduction is a characteristic of living organisms and that the instructions for traits are governed in the genetic material. The student is expected to:
7.14C: recognize that inherited traits of individuals are governed in the genetic material found in the genes within chromosomes in the nucleus

6TH & 7th GRADE
•6.12A understand that all organisms are composed of one or more cells
•6.12B recognize that the presence of a nucleus determines whether a cell is prokaryotic or eukaryotic
•7.12D differentiate between structure and function in plant and animal cell organelles, including cell membrane, cell wall, nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondrion, chloroplast, and vacuole
7TH GRADE
7.14: Organisms and environments. The student knows that reproduction is a characteristic of living organisms and that the instructions for traits are governed in the genetic material. The student is expected to:
7.14C: recognize that inherited traits of individuals are governed in the genetic material found in the genes within chromosomes in the nucleus
Biology
•describe the stages of the cell cycle, including deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) replication and mitosis, and the importance of the cell cycle to the growth of organisms
•describe the roles of DNA, ribonucleic acid (RNA), and environmental factors in cell differentiation
•identify components of DNA, and describe how information for specifying the traits of an organism is carried in the DNA
• The nucleus of a cell contains the cell’s genetic material and regulates cell activity.
• Prokaryotic cells do not contain a nucleus and do not enclose their genetic material within a nucleus.
• Eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus and enclose their genetic material within the nucleus.
PRIOR LEARNING
SY13-14 MoY Benchmark Question(No STAAR-Released questions)
SY13-14 MoY Benchmark Question(No STAAR-Released questions)
Based on the data and distractors, what key points should teachers emphasize during lessons?
• Define inherit to clarify the purpose of the chromosomes as it relates to DNA and genetics based on this question’s most common error.
Based on the data and distractors, what key points should teachers emphasize during lessons?
• Relate each structure to each other and chunk the TEKS statement with a visual summary.
• Genes are sections of many DNA.
• Chromosomes are composed of DNA.
• Chromosomes are found in the nucleus of a cell.
• Genetic material = DNA, chromosomes, genes
• Genetic material determines the traits of individuals.
Components of a good lesson plan
1. Engage Student Interest
2. Review/Scaffold to TEKS
3. Student-Centered Activities directly relating to the depth and complexity of the TEKS
• Labs, Activities, Videos
1. Organize and Practice Vocabulary
2. Reading & Comprehension Strategies
3. Writing Opportunities & Scaffolds
4. Daily Listening & Speaking Opportunities
5. Differentiation
6. Formative Assessment & Reteach

Higher level questions• “Research shows there’s a link between critical thinking skills and increased student achievement in the
classroom.” (Moore & Stanley, 2010)
• Higher level questions must be planned in order to be implemented effectively in the classroom.
• Levels of Questions
• Knowledge
• Comprehension
• Application
• Analysis
• Synthesis
• Evaluation
• Plan and provide a variety of questions at each level and build student knowledge and critical thinking by providing Higher Level Questions.
Lower Levels of questions

Sample Unit questions
• A sample from this unit using the Daily Guiding Questions.
Knowledge Comprehension Application Analysis Synthesis Evaluate
What is DNA?
What is a gene?
What is a chromosome?
Label the organelle where genetic material
is located in an eukaryotic cell.
How are the structures in genetics related?
Model the size relationships between the different genetic
structures.
How are a person’s physical traits related to
its genetic material?

Anchors of SupportOther Resources
•Interactive Word Wall- Current, working models with student contributions • Interactive Word Walls Article: http://learningcenter.nsta.org/files/ss1103_45.pdf
• “Word walls can be arranged on cupboard doors or classroom walls, or hung from the ceiling with wire and string.”
• “Maximum instructional potential and efficiency are achieved when interactive word-wall construction is aligned with lessons and students are allowed to participate in the process. As a result, walls are usually built over many days and are finished as a unit nears completion. Word walls support units and are changed or replaced as units change.”
