Review - Jeopardy Game []

CBC Quirks and Quarks - genetics, dogs and food - 3 of my favourite things! Very interesting episode of this science radio program - even discusses guide dogs - trainable because of a gene mutation - have a listen!

Wednesday December 6
Frog dissection continued open up stomach - what did he/she eat? measure small intestines - how does it compare to 7m in human? trace path of digestive system Time permitting: students make playdoh models

Tuesday December 5
Frog Dissection - explore external structures: dorsal ventral nares tympanic membranes - guess M or F? Begin opening up frog

Nature vs. Nurture discussion Bill Nye: Genes & questions media type="youtube" key="7cGN1sLYMhA" width="560" height="315"

Your genes/DNA are the blue-prints or plans that make you, you. You get your genes from your biological parents, which is why you probably share some traits or characteristics with your mom and dad. For example, if both of your parents are short, it is likely that you will be short too. Some traits (like height) can also be influenced by your environment (the food you eat/ate, your upbringing etc.) as you grow and mature. You might be taller than both of your parents - that could be because you have met your maximum height potential, determined by your genes because you were fed a nutritious diet as a baby and growing child; lots of protein, vitamins and minerals. Some traits can develop in a baby before they are born, but aren't necessarily genetic - they are caused by substances or situations the mother encounters when she is pregnant. For example, if the mother drinks alcohol when she is pregnant, she might have a baby with Fetal Alcohol syndrome (FAS). People with FAS may have certain facial features and personality traits which are not passed through the genes of the parents but are caused by the effects of alcohol passing through the placenta while the baby is developing. But someone with FAS will not pass this on to //their// children, as it is not a genetic trait.
