DNA and Inheritance
SCN 2-14b: By exploring the characterisitcs offspring inherit when living things reproduce, I can distinguish between inherited and non-inherited characteristics
SCN 3-14a: I understand the processes of fertilisation and embryonic development and can discuss possible risks to the embryo
SCN 3-14b: I have extracted DNA and understand its function. I can express an informed view of the risks and benefits of DNA profiling.
SCN 4-14a: Through investigation, I can compare and contrast how different organisms grow and develop
SCN 4-14b: Through evaluation of a range of data, I canc ompare sexual and asexual reproduction and explain their importance for survival of species
SCN 4-14c: I can use my understanding of how characteristics are inherited to solve simple genetic problems and relate this to my understanding of DNA, genes and chromosomes.

What is Inheritance?
Variation
Gathering information on variation in the class can enable a successful and interesting lesson/s on data handling. You can use the data gathered to address bar and line graphs, averages, percentages, ratios etc.
