Week of April 28

Date	Learning Objective	Classwork	Homework	Complete	Assessment Criteria
Apr 28	9-11 ES3D Data gathered from a variety of methods have shown that Earth has gone through a number of periods when Earth was much warmer and much colder than today	Evaluate: Pages 637-640, P/P 1-8	Pages 640-641 P/P 1-3		Describe factors that change climates over long periods of time and cite methods that scientists have found to gather information on ancient climates
29	9-12 INQE Model The essence of scientific investigation involves the development of a theory or conceptual model that can generate testable predictions. 9-11 LS1E The genetic information responsible for inherited characteristics is encoded in the DNA molecules in chromosomes. DNA is composed of four subunits (A,T,C,G). The sequence of subunits in a gene specifies the amino acids needed to make a protein. Proteins express inherited traits (e.g., eye color, hair texture) and carry out most cell function.	pGLO Prelab Notes – Research background information and generate hypothesis	Review for test – Test on Monday, May 5		Formulate one or more hypotheses based on a model or theory of a causal relationship. Demonstrate creativity and critical thinking to formulate and evaluate the hypotheses Describe how DNA molecules are long chains linking four subunits (smaller molecules) whose sequence encodes genetic information. Illustrate the process by which gene sequences are copied to produce proteins
30/1		pGLO Lab – Finish design and carry out lab
2		pGLO results – Relate results to structure and function of DNA = Determine how the environment influences gene function
