Evidence of Alignment

SEPUP™ Reproduction

What are the ethical issues involved in using genetic information? ​​​​​ Investigative phenomena within the lessons connect back to the issue and storyline.

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.

Examples explored include physical traits like eye color, genetic conditions like Marfan syndrome, the role of genes and the environment, and behavioral traits in humans and model organisms. Students generate and answer questions such as: What explains the similarities and differences between related individuals, from parents, to siblings, to identical twins?

Differentiation

An intentionally flexible approach to all program activity types help accomplish our goal that all students achieve scientific literacy. 

Assessment

Integrated into the programs the SEPUP assessment system sets up ways to collect evidence on student learning and improve performance.

The best part of Issues and Science for my students is that it is connected to real-life issues that are relevant to their lives. It includes strategies and tools for me to reach ALL my kids, includes step-by-step instructions, and it is FUN! I fell in love with teaching science because of the Lab-Aids curriculum.
