  1. Project ARISE February 2, 2009

  2. Teachers’ Domain • http://www.teachersdomain.org/

  3. Lesson Plans • Molecular Evidence for Evolutionary Relationships • Chain Reaction

  4. Molecular Evidence for Evolutionary Relationships • NECAP Science Inquiry Constructs able to be implemented: • Formulating Questions and Hypothesizing #1, 2, and 3 • Developing and Evaluating Explanations #11, 12, 13

  5. The Lesson Part I • Show the video “The Common Genetic Code” Inquiry-focused questions: • What was the research question or hypothesis which Nurse posed? • What was the argument Nurse made to support the question or hypothesis?

  6. The Lesson Part I 2. Students do the Molecular Connection Worksheet Inquiry strategy: • Emphasize that analysis of data is critical to answering the questions scientists ask.

  7. The Lesson Part I 3. Optional • The website is missing the Chromosome Clues Handout.

  8. The Lesson Part I 4. Show the “Genetic Tool Kit” video Inquiry strategy: • Highlight the role of questions in science research, for example: • What was evolution tinkering with? • How did the embryo know what shape to take?

  9. The Lesson Part I 4a. Students read “Animal Body Plans: Homeobox Genes” 5. Teams of students write questions which are then exchanged with other teams for research. Inquiry strategy: Once again the importance of questions in scientific research.

  10. Chain Reaction • NECAP Science Inquiry Constructs able to be implemented: • This activity supports all 13 of the Inquiry constructs • Suggestion: emphasize #4-10, since these are often more difficult to include on in many activities

  11. Chain Reactionthe Lesson Part I: Introductory activity • Animal behavior is often a response to environmental changes. • Stimulus and response • Animal migration • Video: Planetary Moves • Review the focus question

  12. Chain Reactionthe lesson Part I (continued) 5. What was the stimulus for migration? 6. Testing a prediction Video: monarch migration 7. Review the focus of the monarch migration

  13. Chain Reactionthe lesson Part I (continued) • Video: Hungry beasts 9. Video: Arctic summer 10. Review the focus questions 11. Exit slips

  14. Chain Reactionthe lesson Part I I: Learning Activity 1 • This activity has two objectives: • Research Isopods • Design an experiment

  15. Chain Reactionthe lesson Part I I I: Learning Activity #2 This part of the activity has the students set up their control and experimental chambers.

  16. Chain Reactionthe lesson Part IV: Culminating activity this final part of the activity involves three processes: • Organizing data (graphing) • Analyzing data 3. Writing a conclusion
