NGSS Standards:
| MS-LS1-5. | Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for how environmental and genetic factors influence the growth of organisms. |
|---|
| MS-LS3-1. | Develop and use a model to describe why structural changes to genes (mutations) located on chromosomes may affect proteins and may result in harmful, beneficial, or neutral effects to the structure and function of the organism. |
|---|
| MS-LS3-2. | Develop and use a model to describe why asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information and sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation.

Objective: 
Emmett Chappelle b1925
Born in Arizona to farmers, he joined the army in 1942. He later went to medical school in Tennessee, received his M.S. in biology from U of W, and performed research at Stanford. He is a biochemist, environmental scientist, and inventor. He worked for NASA and aided in the creation of a safe oxygen supply for astronauts, through algae!!!! Later, he developed techniques that are still widely used for the detection of bacteria in urine, blood, spinal fluids, drinking water and foods. In 2007, Chappelle was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame for his work on bioluminescence.
Agenda:
QW: What is the function of DNA? What are the functions of mRNA and tRNA? You may use your graphic organizer or textbook or notebook page 45 or 46.
Does anyone want to present their research?

Wrap up genetics
Final check on plants
-Did either of your plants ever grow roots?
-Did your plants stay alive?
-What are some factors that may have prevented growth?
-Why (how) are plants able to grow roots directly from the stem?
