Students will compare the periodic table for Mendeleev and Moseley's time period with discussion to follow. Students will make models of five different elements using various colored beads or cloth balls to represent protons, neutrons and electrons; electrons will be placed in the correct energy shell (various sized petri dishes. Students will compare models to find their element partner by comparing the valence electrons, and determining the group these element partners are located on the per

Students will watch a short video about the Nature vs. Nurture Debate to introduce the Genetics Unit. After viewing the video they will complete a Google LTI Doc Assignment where they drag and drop traits into the correct location in a Venn Diagram under Nature, Nurture, or Both. An answer key is provided. I also provided an extension activity to use with non-fiction readings on the topic of Nature vs. Nurture.
