Reproduction | NGSS
Issues and Science, Third Edition, Redesigned for the NGSS
What are the ethical issues involved in using genetic information?
Students explore how organisms get their traits and what causes variation from one organism to another. They also analyze and interpret evidence for how certain traits affect reproduction. Students learn how both genes and the environment can influence traits and apply what is learned to a human genetic condition.
Students generate and answer questions such as: What explains the similarities and differences between related individuals, from parents, to siblings, to identical twins?

Evidence of Alignment
Issues and Science was developed at the Lawrence Hall of Science in response to the need for high quality, three dimensional, phenomena driven curriculum. Quick details from this unit:
- Anchoring phenomenon: Most people look more like their biological relatives than they look like most other people, but even within a family, each person is unique.
- Investigative phenomena within the 14 activities connect content to the unit issue, What are the ethical issues involved in using genetic information?
- This unit builds towards and assesses Performance Expectations (PE) LS1-4, LS1-5, LS3-1, LS3-2.
Program Components
Lab-Aids programs combine components to make a system for learning. Learn more about each of the four components below.

Student access is not included in the Complete Equipment Package to keep purchasing options flexible. You have the option of purchasing printed student books, online student access, or both.
Student Book
Additional $34.50 per book
Hardbound, high-quality student books are designed to last the length of an adoption for use year after year. Unlike a traditional texbook, the Student Book does not provide science content through reading and questions. Instead students are encouraged to question, investigate, and analyze in each of the heavily field-tested activities.
Online Student Portal License

The online student portal is optional but highly recommended. Here students will find access to Remote Learning Activities in case of an absence, support tools like ReadSpeaker with translation, and can have direct communication with the teacher (for schools who want this feature).

Kit #912SModeling the Inheritance of TraitsStudents model the diversity of offspring possible from two parents and discover patterns of inheritance other than strict dominant/recessive traits. These patterns help them model and explain the wide variation that can result from sexual reproduction and explore the cause-and-effect relationships for additional traits of the critters.
