Upon completion of this
Webquest students will be able to:
-
describe
the causes of genetic disorders.
-
explain
the relationship of symptoms and diseases.
-
calculate
the probability of a genetic disorder being inherited.
-
recognize
the effects on personal lifestyle that a genetic disorder may
have.
-
distinguish between
inherited and non-genetic disorders.
-
identify human traits that
are passed from parent to child.
Students will
also develop skills in:
-
computer operation

NJ Core Curriculum Content standards :
Science
Standard
5.1 -(Scientific
Method) All students will develop problem-solving, decision making

and communicating results.
Standard
5.5.C.1 - Reproduction and Heredity -Describe how the sorting and
recombining of genetic material results in the potential for
variation among offspring of humans and other species.
Standard
5.5.C. A. 2 -Matter, Energy and Organization in Living Systems -
Recognize that complex multicellular organisms, including humans,
are
composed of and defined by interactions of the following: cells,
tissues,
organs, systems.
Technology
Standard 8.1- (Computer and Information Literary)
All students will use computer applications to gather and organize
information and organize information and to solve problems.
Standard

Teacher Tips:
-
Review
this Webquest before you use it in the classroom.
-
Instruct yourself and your students in the basic concepts of
heredity and genetics. Try the
University of Utah
website as a starting point.
-
Be prepared to discuss
and encourage your students to explore the
realities of a lifestyle with genetic disorders.
-
Instruct students to
follow the Webquest step by step.
-
Decide if students will
just view or print any word/PDF documents.
You may want to make copies ahead of time.
-
Be prepared to answer
questions about the genetic disorders that are researched. A
great resource for information is the
Genetic Science Learning Center.
-
Periodically check the student's progress
throughout the Webquest.
