We will be learning about star systems and galaxies. Students will complete a lab on Thursday/Friday. There will be a quiz on this lesson the week of May 29th.
7th Grade Science: Probability and Heredity
Schedule Notes:
- There are no block schedules this week.
Probability and Heredity
- Students will evaluate Mendel’s experimental design and describe the results of his experiments.
- Students will use mathematical representations to define probability and describe how it helps explain the results of genetic crosses.
- Students will apply scientific principles to explain what is meant by phenotype and genotype.
We will be learning more about probability and heredity. Students will review concepts covered in this lesson. There will be a quiz on this lesson on Friday, May 26th. Please encourage students to thoroughly review all notes and resources available on Google Classroom.
