Analysis of pedigrees to track traits through multiple generations and final unit assessment.

Deep dive into Punnett Square probability and complex monohybrid cross word problems to predict offspring variation.

Compares asexual and sexual reproduction, focusing on the differences in genetic diversity and cell division (mitosis vs. meiosis).

Explores the hierarchy of genetic material from the nucleus to individual genes. Students learn how DNA codes for traits and how chromosomes organize this information.

Students analyze data to describe the human role in rising global temperatures. They evaluate claims about natural resource use, the carbon cycle, and the greenhouse effect using historical evidence and climate models.
