Objective #4 - Meiosis
A. I can identify the stages of meiosis from diagrams.
B. I can put the stages of meiosis in order.
C. I can summarize what occurs in the stages of meiosis I and meiosis II, showing how the events of each
stage are connected to the next.
D. If given a diagram of meiosis, I can determine when, how, and why the number of chromosomes is
reduced.
E. I can state what types of cells undergo meiosis, and why those cells undergo meiosis.
F. I can explain why genetic variation is important.
G. I can describe ways that inheritable genetic variations occur.
Vocabulary: homologous chromosomes, crossing over, diploid, haploid, sexual reproduction, gamete, zygote, germ cell
NGSS: DCI - LS3.B; PE - LS3-2

Learning Activities
1. Do the Objective #4 Activities in Juno. This contains the information you'll need to be successful in this objective! YOU MAY NOT MOVE ON TO THE REST OF THE ACTIVITIES UNTIL YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE OBJECTIVE #4 JUNO ACTIVITIES!
2. Watch the videos below about mitosis and meiosis, paying attention to the differences between them as well as what happens during meiosis.

2. Before you go any further, we need to review some vocabulary regarding meiosis. Go to Google Classroom and find the assignment titled, "Meiosis Word Pairs." You've done these before - review each pair of words. Then, decide if they are opposite, go together, or not related at all. Put an "x" in the box of your choice, then fill in the box with WHY the words are opposite/go together/not related. You MUST fill in a reason! If you can't access the document in Google Classroom, click here.
3. Go to your Google Drive and create a new document in your class period's folder for this class. In this document, insert a table that has two columns and 8 rows. Title the columns, "I can statement" and "Detailed answer." Write an I can statement from Objective #4 in each of the rows. using your Juno activities, the video above, and this reading and this reading, take two-column notes on ALL of the Objective #4 I can statements listed at the top of this page. Then watch this animation (Hit Play All as well as the arrow to see each individual step!) and this animation and add anything you need to in your notes (by the way...you need to describe EACH STAGE of meiosis! This animation will help you do that!) and add to your notes.
Turn your notes in to the assignment titled "Objective #4 Two-Column Notes" in Google Classroom when you're finished.
YOU CANNOT MOVE ON TO THE NEXT STEP UNTIL YOU HAVE COMPLETED YOUR NOTES!
4. Go get a deck of playing cards from the sub. Find a partner and, together, use the cards to develop a model of meiosis. Write up your model by creating a document in the assignment titled "Meiosis Card Model" in Google Classroom. In this document, describe how you modeled meiosis using your cards at a level 10. ANYONE CAUGHT USING THE CARDS FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN MODELING MEIOSIS WILL BE ASSIGNED A DETENTION. I'm trusting you....don't break that trust!
5. Choose TWO of the following Level 10 activities to solidify you understanding of meiosis. When you are finished, turn them into the assignment titled "Meiosis Level 10 Activities." Create both assignments in Google Docs (if it says to do so), and turn them BOTH in to the same assignment. Th will be graded using this rubric.
a. Write the answer to the following RAFT in a Google Doc:
ROLE: Homologous chromosome
AUDIENCE: The other homologous chromosome in the pair
FORMAT: Goodbye letter
TOPIC: We've been through a lot together, but we will be torn apart!
**Make sure you show that you understand ALL the I can statements for Objective #4! Yes, ALL of them!
b. Using PowToon or Pixton, make a cartoon that shows you understand ALL of the I can statements for Objective #4. Turn in the LINK to your PUBLISHED cartoon to the correct assignment in Google Classroom when you're finished.
c. Create a working, physical model of a cell undergoing meiosis. You may only make one cell, and the chromosomes must be moveable. You may use whatever materials are out on the back lab table, but you will have to provide anything else you may need.
d. Write the rules to a board game that shows you understand all of the I can statements for Objective #4. Be sure to give your game a title and be sure to include all I can statements!
ALL PROJECTS ARE DUE TURNED IN TO GOOGLE CLASSROOM BEFORE CLASS STARTS ON MONDAY, 3/2!!! All projects must be done with quality and thoroughness - work that is considered low quality and turned in early will be returned for you to redo.

A little review...
On a sheet of notebook paper, make EITHER a Venn diagram (with two circles) or a T-chart that lists as many differences as you can between MITOSIS and MEIOSIS.
Now let's review meiosis!
1. Get with your partner. One of you should have a pair of earbuds! (If not, you'll have to hit the "text" button instead of listening to the disembodied voice talk to you.)
2. Watch the animations below together and then answer the quizzes underneath each animation. You have 15 minutes to do this activity.
How Meiosis Works
Random Orientation of Chromosomes During Meiosis
Unique Features of Meiosis
Comparison of Mitosis and Meiosis
3. Go get a whiteboard, an eraser, and a marker and sit down at your seat (if you're not already there!). Mrs. E will review all of the meiosis objectives before you take the progress check on them.
