Power Point Notes The Power Point contains information about linkage, mapping, and mutation. The notes in the Power Point are basic and are designed to provide an overview of the material. Most of the information that the students learn will come from completing the other activities in the lesson. The Power Point introduces new terminology and poses some interesting questions for students to think about during the days that follow while they complete the genetics unit.

Vocabulary Worksheet This worksheet is designed as a supplemental worksheet to go with the Power Point. It is supposed to be used for the students to fill in the vocabulary terms as the lesson progresses. The vocabulary worksheet is just another note-taking tool. The students can use this form or write the terms on their own paper. The teacher can fill in the worksheet for students who have trouble keeping up during class.

Homework Activity 1 This homework activity is a large assignment that is meant to take the rest of the unit to complete. The point is for the students to put a lot of time into their projects and research their topic thoroughly. Each student will research a current event topic relating to genetic research. The topic has to incorporate at least one ethical issue. Students will examine both sides of their topic and write about both sides. They will write an essay and present their findings in class.

Webquest/ Gene Mapping Activity This webquest is for the students to work on during the second day of the lesson. All of the websites that the students will explore have been examined and matched with questions and activities to direct the students in their quest. The students are encouraged to explore the websites outside of class because there is a lot of material on each site, and the activities are an engaging way to gain a better understanding of traditionally difficult concepts.

Lesson 5 Quiz Because lesson 5 is a longer lesson with a lot of material, it is a good idea to give the students a quiz over the lesson to make sure that they understood the material and are ready for a test. The quiz can be graded or not graded depending on the purpose of the quiz, but it should help the teacher decide if the students are ready for the unit test.
