Prescribed Learning Outcomes
Grade 9 Science - Reproduction

To best help teachers incorporate our Educational Material and Articles into the classroom, we've organized our materials under the BC Prescribed Learning Outcomes.

If you have any feedback, we'd love to hear your thoughts: gened@genomebc.ca



Explain the process of cell division

a. The Cell Cycle & Mitosis - Compares the changes that occur during the stages of a cell’s development ~ interphase and the stages of mitosis; prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase (presentation, notes)

b. Candy DNA - create a model of DNA out of candy or fruit

Mitosis - shows the process of cell division

a. Mitosis - explains the process of cell division
b. Chromosome Fundamentals - The Link Between Chromosomes, DNA, and Genes
a. The Control of the Cell Cycle (Nobelprize.org)- animated game exploring the cell cycle
b. The Cell Cycle & Mitosis (Biology Project) - tutorial & links to animations



Relate the processes of cell division and emerging reproductive technologies to embryonic development

a. Medical Genetics in 2020 - Analyze the implications of current and emerging biomedical, genetic, and reproductive technologies (presentation, notes)

b. Prenatal choices - Users make choices about prenatal screening and the activity changes depending on their choices.

a. Genetic Screening ‐ Embryonic - exploring the ethics of pre‐implantation genetic testing of embryos
b. Artificial Stem Cells - Could this be the top of a slippery slope to human embryo farms? Can stem cells be parents?
c. Stem Cell Fundamentals - the basics of these important cells
a. Babies by Design (PBS) - a poll exploring the ethical considerations of reproductive technologies
b. Visible Embryo - visual guide to human embryonic development



Compare sexual and asexual reproduction in terms of advantages and disadvantages

a. Beaker Babies: Star Crossings - a role‐play to introduce the basic genetics of inheritance
b. Asexual & Sexual Reproduction game - A classroom team game to answer questions about sexual and asexual reproduction

Meiosis - cellular division in reproductive cells
The Advantage of Sex (PBS) - an essay exploring sexual vs. asexual reproduction
