PRODUCT DESCRIPTION It is important to promote writing across the disciplines. Sometimes it is difficult to come up with writing prompts. These task cards are specific to secondary science and they cover Genetic disorders and mutations. The questions cover DNA mutations, diseases, causes of mutations, and evolutionary impact of mutations. This activity can be used as a bell ringer, pop quiz or closing. It is a good exercise to make the brief students write longer and the novel writers write shorter answers. There are 32 writing prompts with instructions as to how many sentences they should write. You can adjust the pages per sheet setting to print multiple cards per sheets of paper. This activity is a great follow up to Genetic Disorders: Mistakes in the DNA code, DNA mutations Power Point and Worksheets

It is important to promote writing across the disciplines. Sometimes it is difficult to come up with writing prompts. These task cards are specific to secondary science and they cover the Plant Kingdom. The topics covered range from the plant structures, clades, hormones, tropisms and even plant cells. This activity can be used as a bell ringer, pop quiz or closing. It is a good exercise to make the brief students write longer and the novel writers write shorter answers. There are 36 writing prompts with instructions as to how many sentences they should write. You can adjust the pages per sheet setting to print multiple cards per sheets of paper. Print in gray-scale to maintain detail if you are not printing in color. It looks great both ways!

This Plant Kingdom has two plant kingdom power points. One goes over the anatomy and traits of plants, then covers each plant clade (group) individually and their characteristics,. The plant clades or sequenced in evolutionary order and there is a chart included for the students to fill out while covering the power point. The plant clades are mosses, ferns, gymnosperms: conifers, gingkos, cycads, and angiosperms. The second power point goes over special topics in plants such as tropisms and adaptations. There is a third power point called Plant questions, you can do these as a whole class or upload them to a website so students can work on the questions individually or in pairs. There is one plant question per slide and they all have photographs or diagrams to help the students answer correctly. The last file is a set of writing task cards which covers all the plant information. I also have these items listed separately but you save purchasing as a bundle. Printing in grayscale will ensure maximum detail if you are not printing in color.

This is a bundle of Genetic disorders and mutations. You will receive a power point presentation with follow along worksheets and answer key. There are writing task cards and three sets of problem sets. In one set the students will model DNA mutations. The other two sets center around karyotype analysis. This bundle includes: Genetic Disorders: Mistakes in the DNA code, DNA mutations Power Point Genetic Disorders: Mistakes in the DNA code, DNA mutations Worksheets w/t Key Genetic Mutations: DNA Mutations Writing Task Cards Secondary Science Mutations in DNA: Single strand DNA mutations Problem Set Genetic Disorders / Mutations: Karyotype Problem Sets Worksheets Printing in grayscale will ensure maximum detail if you are not printing in color.

The plant kingdom power point covers plant characteristics such as cell type in adults, alternation of generation, vascular tissues, male and female gametes, flowers, root systems and geographic locations. The major plant clades are covered in order of how they most likely evolved or complexity. Mosses, Liverworts, Hornworts & Bryophytes, Ferns, Gymnosperms: Conifers, Cycads, Gingkoes, Angiosperms. A two page plant kingdom chart goes along with the power point and an answer key of the chart filled out. This lesson can take about two class periods, possibly three depending on how long your classes are.

Plant Kingdom Chart which covers plant vocabulary, plant clades, can be used alone or with the Plant Kingdom Chart. Answer key is included.

I have bundled two versions of this genetic disorders worksheets. They both cover the same chromosomal diseases but one is short answer and the other asks the students to describe the disease symptoms. In both sets the students are given 8 karyotypes that they need to identify by gender and figure out what chromosomal abnormalities are in each. The students can then take that information and research it online or at a library to find the syndrome's name and symptoms (long answer set). The teacher key is included for both. The students worksheets are five pages long since they include an introduction in each set. The teacher keys are four pages long for each set. The picture file is just for advertising.*

This is a problem set which follows a lesson covering genetic disorders and mutations. The students will model deletion, insertion, inversion and duplication mutations on single strands of DNA and explain how the mutations affect the polypeptide chain. There are two free styles of codon charts and the teacher key are included. This problem set is a great follow up to Genetic Disorders: Mistakes in the DNA code, DNA mutations Worksheets w/t Key or Genetic Disorders: Mistakes in the DNA code, DNA mutations Bundle: PPt and WS The display file is for advertising purposes only.
