Each member of the group will go to the website listed on task card #1
Complete the task cards in order.
Every student will answer the questions from the task cards on the lab sheet in the Research It! section.
Research It! Station Directions
1. Go to http://goo.gl/euuGME
1. Read through each of the inherited traits and determine if you have a dominant gene or a recessive gene on your lab sheet.
Genes are small portions of your DNA that are transferred from parents to offspring and help determine certain characteristics.
One member of the group will read the task cards in order. The group will be responsible for completing each of the tasks that are being read.
Each member of the group will then write their conclusions down on the lab sheet in the Explore It! section.
Explore It! Station Directions
Look at the 4 cards with only 1 vocabulary word on them.
1. Try to organize them from smallest to largest and write the order on your lab sheet.
1. On your lab sheet write the correct order of each of the new vocabulary terms you learned starting with the smallest.
Chromosomes contain all of the DNAfor the organism, and they are stored in the nucleus of nearly every cell in your body.
Genes are small sections of the DNA which determine your traits and characteristics. Many genes together make up your 23 pairs of chromosomes.
Now look at the 4 cards with the definitions on them.
1. Try to organize them from smallest to largest and write the order on your lab sheet.
Genes Chromosomes
NucleusDNA
Genes – parts of the DNA which control the traits of an organism
Chromosomes – Thread-like structures that are found in the nucleus of a cell that contains all DNA.
Nucleus – stores the cells hereditary material or DNA
DNA – molecule that carries the genetic instructions for all living organisms. Found in the chromosome.
Each member of the group will draw a quick sketch on the lab sheet the shows they understand the concept that is being taught.
Use the colored pencils and markers that are provided.
The directions for the sketch are provided on the task card at the table.
Illustrate It! Station Directions
Draw a quick sketch and come up with an acronym (Example: SCUBA – Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus)to help you remember the following information.
Genes are found in DNA, which are found in Chromosomes, which are found in the Nucleusof a cell.
Illustrate It! Station Directions
It is recommended that you have completed at least twoof the following stations before working at this station.-Read It!-Explore It!-Watch It!-Research It!
Every student will answer the questions from the task cards on the lab sheet in the Organize It! Section.
Please mix up the cards again before the next group arrives at this station.
Organize It! Station Directions
Match the correct term with vocabulary word.
Have the teacher check your cards to ensure it is correct. They will sign your lab sheet in the Organize It area.
