1 Project 1: CTE AND ACADEMIC INTEGRATION PROJECTS/LESSONS Action Plan for Academic Area Topic Input Outcome Implementation World History The Black Death Research the causes and View a power point presentation September effects of the Black Death on the Black Death Students analyze the Learn vocabulary relating to the Francisco Orozco impact of the Black Death topic on the economies and Read both primary and secondary social political systems of Europe sources to learn more about the outbreak of plague Students map the path and Map the outbreak and path of the spread of the Black Death Black Death Students synthesize data Engage in discussions about the and relevant materials to present a newscast about the impact of the Black Death impact of the pandemic on the social/political/ economic and belief systems of Europeans in the 1300 s Serve as consultants for View documentaries on the causes the Graphics and BMAS and effects of the plague students and participate in Do a pre and post test on the the making of digital Black Death projects Produce a news cast about the outbreak of plague and its impact Graphic Fundamentals Cruz Rivera The Black Death Create and manipulate images of historic, scientific and mathematical data to incorporate into a Brochure.to be changed to posters on European society Using the research from history and stats from math, students will take the information and using Photo Shop and they will create a Brochure / Flyer. September to be completed by middle April 11 Intro BMAS Elena Sobampo *collaborate with History, Science, The Black Death Introduce vocabulary: i.e. Epidemic, Pandemic, buboes, bubonic plague, pneumonic plague, septicaemic plague, subdural hemorrhages, quarantine Research The Black World History and math students serve as consultants to the Intro BMAS students who will create a newsletter with images that incorporate results of research Science and Health students will serve application and data research for Intro BMAS students November To be completed by middle April 11

2 Health and Math in September for Images on reenactments, labs, math formulas and labs Death Research images of history Prepare sets with reenactments of history to take images Create and manipulate images of historic, scientific and mathematical data to incorporate into newsletter when labs are completed Construction Technologies 1 and 2 Robert Rees The Black Death Sewer systems building plumbing and framing Construction students will build 2 mock towns, one with no sewage systems and one with a modern sewage system. This will demonstrate the unsanitary and unhealthy conditions, without sewage systems. Sept. 27/Oct. 1 by April 11 Algebra 1 Rene Molina The Black Death Calculate missing values, given a proportion Apply the use of ratios and proportions TSW solve proportions by calculating death tolls, and disease spread rates of the Black Death. Day 1, learning algorithm of ratios and proportions. Day 2, applying knowledge of ratios to compute death rates of different cities. August Biology Charlene Olson The Black Death Students will analyze, evaluate, make inferences, and predict trends from data; and communicate valid conclusions supported by the data through methods such as lab reports, labeled Students will complete a lab simulation on Black Death that will give them data to use in understanding how a Black Death bacterium was spread. Students will complete a laboratory analysis and write a report from their statistical information. September 3 rd week April 11

3 Health Katie Fonseca drawings, graphic organizers, journals, summaries, oral reports, and technology-based reports. Students will view through historical data of trends on Black Death through synthesis of health care, education and cultural influence at the time. Students will report findings from lab simulation on Black Death their findings of factors that contributed to the affect on the human population The Black Death Communicable Diseases and how they are spread. Black Death Analyze how communicable diseases spread. Distinguish the differences between communicable and non-communicable diseases. Understand how to write and develop a hypothesis and a lab report. Comprehend and analyze lab outcomes. Nov. April 2011 by 3 rd week April11 *Capstone Get all components on display at TVHS library and show to all students in all classes *Bring school nurse to collaborate on unit on vaccinations and sanitation

4 Project 2: CTE AND ACADEMIC INTEGRATION PROJECTS/LESSONS Action Plan for Academic Area Topic Input Outcome Implementation Intro ABS and ABS 1 Genetics Cross breeding (fruit fly) Intro ABS students will review unit 28 Genetics, Breeding and Reproduction Oct in Agriscience Fundamentals Text Nov10 Robert Rees Students in conjunction with text will perform a lab using fruit flies. They will crossbreed different physical characteristics and determine the outcome. Biology Charlene Olson Genetics Olson Input: Molecular Basis of Heredity; Understand the molecular basis of heredity and resulting genetic diversity. Describe the molecular basis of heredity, in viruses and living things, including DNA replication and protein synthesis. Explain how genotypic variation occurs and results in phenotypic diversity. Describe how meiosis and fertilization maintain genetic variation. Olson Outcome: Students will understand the mechanisms of genetics, including the principles of Mendelian Genetics. The student is expected to: Identify components of DNA, and describe how information for specifying the traits of an organism is carried in the DNA. Recognize that components that make up the genetic code are common to all organisms. Recognize that gene expression is a regulated process. Predict possible outcomes of various genetic combinations such as monohybrid crosses, dihybrid crosses and non- Mendelian inheritance. Oct March 11 Explain how genotypic and phenotypic variation can result in adaptations that influence an organism s success in an environment. Describe how techniques such as DNA fingerprinting, genetic modifications and chromosomal analysis are used to study the genomes of organisms.

5 Health Katie Fonseca Intro BMAS Elena Sobampo Graphics 1 Cruz Rivera Algebra 1 Rene Molina Genetics Primary risk factors and heredity. Genetics and the relationship between the two. (research and family tree) Genetics Powerpoint presentation with video and still images Research Genetics Research images of genetics Prepare sets with Biology, Health and Math classes to take images Create and manipulate images of scientific and mathematical data to incorporate into presentation Genetics Create and manipulate images of scientific and mathematical data to incorporate into posters for non -traditional careers (photography and manipulation of images) Genetics Count and identify experimental probabilities Calculate theoretical probabilities Apply fundamental counting principle to genetic probability Note Taking and Lecture/Discussion on heredity as one of the PHRF. How & Why certain things are passed on from one generation to the next. Glossary terms for genetics. Power point that will collaborate with Biology Lessons. Project- Family Tree. Lab- Possible genetics lab Biology, Health and math students serve as consultants to the Intro BMAS students who will create a powerpoint presentation embedding images that incorporate results of research Science and Health students will serve application and data research for Intro BMAS students when labs are completed Given a Power Point Presentation from science, students will take the genetics information and using Photo Shop and or En design they will create a Genetics Poster / Flyer. Using dice and coins, students will list and count experimental probability of rolling a specific number. Using a number tree and fundamental counting principle, TSW compute theoretical probability (and odds). Apply fundamental counting principle to calculate theoretical probability of compound genetic traits. *Capstone Get all components on display at TVHS library and show to all students in all classes 1 st Unit during the 1 st month of classes. We also redo the Unit in the month of January for my 2 nd semester students.

Genetics is the study of heredity

What is Genetics? Genetics is the study of heredity Heredity is the transmission of traits from parent to offspring. These factors determine individual characteristics: responsible for the resemblances
