This document outlines a lesson plan on heredity and Mendelian genetics for 8th grade students. The lesson will take 200 minutes and be taught by multiple teachers. Students will learn about Gregor Mendel's contributions to genetics through his garden pea experiments. They will study meiosis and how it relates to heredity. Students will work in groups to complete activities in their materials and answer questions. The teacher will then explain Mendel's laws of heredity and non-Mendelian inheritance patterns. Students will determine genotypes and be evaluated through a short quiz. Finally, they will read about biodiversity and answer questions.

Sub Topic Mendelian Genetics
Grade Level 8 Time Allotment 200 mins Teacher Marizel R. Ortega; Cris Ian A. Lagulos, Alma Rea B. Agohob; Annabelle A. Sumalo; Alryn T. Mercader; Laylanie A. Lacoste; Mary Cris S. Dela Cerna; Joseph P. Cayetano; Juliet P. Gaylawan Learning Competencies and Objectives CS: The learner shall demonstrate an understanding of meiosis as one of the processes producing genetic variations of the Mendelian Pattern of Inheritance. Objectives: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to: 1. Determine the contribution of Gregor Mendel in the field of genetics. 2. Identifies phenotypes as the expression of inherited characteristics 3. Explain any of Mendel’s Laws of Heredity 4. Cite hereditary phenomena each of Mendel’s Laws of Heredity accounts for 5. Differentiate complete from incomplete dominance Code S8LT-IVf-18 ELICIT Materials/Assessment Tools To elicit the prior knowledge of the students, the teacher will write the following -chalk and board on the board: 1. Meiosis 2. Gregor Mendel 3. Garden pea experiment ENGAGE Materials/Assessment Tools Show a picture of a cell undergoing the process of cell division. -Images of Mendel’s Garden Key Questions: Pea Experiment 1. How is the behaviour of the chromosome during meiosis related to heredity? 2. Who is Gregor Mendel? What are his contributions in the field of Genetics?
