Lesson Overview: Students will brainstorm ideas about the genetics of cancer. Students Students will watch Cells and Cancer presentation. Students will use information to write to a professor applying for a research position, or students will write to professor to gather more information to help a family member cancer, or students will generate a power point on how a cancer cell reproduces genetically.
Goals and Objectives
Goal: To learn about genetics by exploring the genetics of cancer. Objective: Students will use information to write for a research position. Students will write professor for additional cancer information. Students will generate a power point of genetics of cancer.
Common Misconceptions
Cancer is not genetically based Cancer does not invade cells Cancer does not spread Cancer is contagious Cancer can be caught by kissing
Describe any common misconceptions this lesson may address
The Lesson
Preparation Before class: Download Cells and Cancer Presentation
Describe any pre-class preparation necessary for the lesson.
Anticipatory set: Brainstorm cancer, causes,how many people know someone affected by cancer, and how is cancer spread
10 minutes Describe the activity.
To use computer to present Cells and Cancer presentation. Number off students by 1,2,3,4, 1's will work together 2's will work together 3
Alternative Assessments
Describe any alternative activities or assessments you may have developed.
Suggestions for Extended Learning
Suggest any extensions to the lesson.
Glossary
Define any terms that may need elaboration.
Education Standards
STANDARD 3: LIFE SCIENCE Grades 8-12
LIFE SCIENCE – The student will develop an understanding of the cell, molecular basis of heredity, biological evolution,
interdependence of organisms, matter, energy, and organization in living systems, and the behavior of organisms.
Benchmark 2: The student will demonstrate an understanding of chromosomes, genes, and the molecular basis
of heredity.
Grades 8-12 Indicators Additional Specificity
The student …
1. ▲ understands living organisms contain DNA or RNA
as their genetic material, which provides the
instructions that specify the characteristics of
organisms.
1. a. Nucleotides (adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine and uracil) make up
DNA and RNA molecules.
b. Sequences of nucleotides that either determine or contribute to a
genetic trait are called genes.
c. DNA is replicated by using a template process that usually results in
identical copies.
