Cells and Heredity: 8th Grade Science Lessons

Lesson 1: Introduction to Cells 🦠

Objectives:

Vocabulary:

  1. Cell: The basic unit of life that can perform all life processes.
  2. Prokaryotic Cell: A simple cell without a nucleus, such as bacteria.
  3. Eukaryotic Cell: A more complex cell with a nucleus, found in plants and animals.
  4. Organelles: Specialized structures within a cell that perform specific functions.
  5. Nucleus: The organelle that contains the cell’s genetic material (DNA).
  6. Mitochondria: The powerhouse of the cell, producing energy through respiration.
  7. Ribosomes: Organelles responsible for protein synthesis.
  8. Cell Membrane: The outer boundary of the cell, controlling what enters and exits.
  9. Cytoplasm: The jelly-like fluid that fills the cell and holds organelles.
  10. Cell Wall: A rigid structure that provides support and protection, found in plant cells.

Lesson 2: Cell Division and Mitosis 🔄

Objectives:

Vocabulary:

  1. Mitosis: The process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells.
  2. Chromosome: A structure made of DNA that carries genetic information.
  3. Sister Chromatids: Replicated chromosomes that are identical and joined together.
  4. Centromere: The area where sister chromatids are joined.
  5. Interphase: The phase in the cell cycle when the cell is not dividing but preparing for mitosis.
  6. Cytokinesis: The division of the cytoplasm after mitosis, resulting in two separate cells.
  7. Prophase: The first stage of mitosis when chromosomes condense and the nuclear envelope breaks down.
  8. Metaphase: The second stage where chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
  9. Anaphase: The stage where sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite sides of the cell.
  10. Telophase: The final stage of mitosis when the cell prepares to split into two.

Lesson 3: DNA Structure and Function 🧬

Objectives:

Vocabulary:

  1. DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid): The molecule that carries genetic instructions for living organisms.
  2. Double Helix: The twisted ladder shape of DNA, formed by two strands.
  3. Nucleotide: The building block of DNA, consisting of a sugar, phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.
  4. Adenine (A): One of the four bases in DNA, pairing with Thymine.
  5. Thymine (T): A nitrogenous base in DNA that pairs with Adenine.
  6. Cytosine (C): A nitrogenous base that pairs with Guanine.
  7. Guanine (G): The nitrogenous base that pairs with Cytosine.
  8. Gene: A segment of DNA that contains the instructions for a specific trait.
  9. Chromatin: A substance within a chromosome that contains DNA and protein.
  10. Replication: The process of copying DNA before cell division.

Lesson 4: Heredity and Traits 🧬🛍️

Objectives:

Vocabulary:

  1. Heredity: The passing of traits from parents to offspring.
  2. Trait: A characteristic that is inherited, such as eye color or height.
  3. Gene: A section of DNA that determines a specific trait.
  4. Allele: Different forms of a gene that can exist at a particular locus.
  5. Dominant Trait: A trait that will appear in the offspring if one of the parents contributes it.
  6. Recessive Trait: A trait that must be contributed by both parents for it to appear in the offspring.
  7. Phenotype: The observable characteristics of an organism.
  8. Genotype: The genetic makeup of an organism, including alleles.
  9. Punnett Square: A grid used to predict the genotype and phenotype combinations of offspring.
  10. Homozygous: Having two identical alleles for a trait.

Lesson 5: Biotechnology and Ethics 🔬⚖️

Objectives:

Vocabulary:

  1. Biotechnology: The use of living systems and organisms to develop products.
  2. Genetic Engineering: The manipulation of an organism's DNA to change its characteristics.
  3. CRISPR: A technology enabling scientists to edit genes in living organisms.
  4. GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms): Organisms whose genetic material has been altered for desired traits.
  5. Ethics: A set of principles that guide decision-making.
  6. Cloning: Creating a genetically identical copy of an organism.
  7. Stem Cells: Undifferentiated cells with the potential to become different types of cells.
  8. Gene Therapy: A technique for correcting defective genes responsible for disease development.
  9. Bioremediation: The use of microorganisms to clean up contaminated environments.
  10. Sustainability: Meeting the needs of the present without compromising future generations.
