Genetics and Heredity

In this part of your seventh grade year, you will investigate what causes YOU to turn out like YOU. You will learn about why some traits are inherited , but others are not. You will learn what GENES are, and what can control the inheritance of genes.
Even plants have GENES! Tiny single cells have GENES! In this unit we will learn all about GENES!
I will be piloting a new unit aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards covering the study of genetics. Please click on the BLUE JEANS below to see the Next Gen Science Standards that address species Diversity. The New Standards are very in depth. Please click and scroll down to read them individually.
