HS-LS4-1: Analyze and interpret scientific information that common ancestry and biological
evolution are supported by multiple lines of empirical evidence.
HS-LS4-2: Construct an explanation based on evidence that biological diversity is influenced by
(1) the potential for a species to increase in number, (2) the heritable genetic variation of
individuals in a species due to mutation and sexual reproduction, (3) competition for limited
resources, and (4) the proliferation of those organisms that are better able to survive and
reproduce in the environment.
HS-LS4-3: Apply concepts of statistics and probability to support explanations that populations
of organisms adapt when an advantageous heritable trait increases in proportion to organisms
lacking this trait.
HS-LS4-4: construct an explanation based on evidence for how natural selection and other
mechanisms lead to genetic changes in populations.
HS-LS4-5: Evaluate evidence supporting claims that changes in environmental conditions can
affect the distribution of traits in a population causing: (1) increases in the number of individuals
of some species, (2) the emergence of new species over time, and (3) the extinction of other
species.
HS-LS3-1 : Ask questions to clarify relationships about the role of DNA and chromosomes in
coding the instructions for characteristic passed from parents to offspring

Day 3
Topic
Introduction of the morphology of the bacteria
Introduction to the different types of environment bacteria grows in: introduce the agar plates
and bacterial environment
Lesson/inquiry/investigation ideas
The class will begin by teachers passing out a short quiz on the evolution lesson that was
conducted on monday and tuesday. Students will have 10 minutes to take this quiz and teachers
will have 10 minutes to review the quiz after students have turned it in.
Next objective of the day: morphology, students will be given a worksheet that has description of
different shapes of bacteria and they will also be given a cut out pictures of the actual shape of
the bacteria. Students will have 20-30 minutes to piece together the pictures with the description
of the shape and during this activity, students will be working individually. Students will keep
this worksheet as a part of their notes to use later in the week.
Student artifacts/assessment
Quiz: Students will be given a quiz to monitor students’ progress on their understanding of
evolution lesson that was conducted on monday and tuesday.
Morphology Worksheet: This will give students an opportunity to learn the morphology of the
bacteria while “solving” a puzzle. This worksheet will only be used for students for their own
project

Day 4
Topic
Recording Data (morphology) and Plating
Lesson/inquiry/investigation ideas
The teachers will hand back out the plates the students swabbed on the first day of the unit and a
worksheet for observations. The students will then make observations of what they see (i.e. is it
a dense growth, what color the growth is, what is the morphology of the plate) on the worksheet.
The teachers will then hand out four new agar plates (blood, TSA, Mannitol salt agar, and
nutrient). The students will then streak these plates from a mixed culture in order to isolate a
bacterium.

Day 5: In addition to the following, also see the inquiry/investigative lesson plan
Topic
Antibiotic Resistance
Student artifacts/assessment
- Students’ marshmallow and M&M activity
- Students’ swabbed plates with antibodies: students will use these plates to later determine
what happened when a bacteria comes in contact with an antibody present in the plates

Day 6
Topic
Recording Data (morphology) and Introduction to PSA
Lesson/inquiry/investigation ideas
The teachers will hand back out the agar plates the students swabbed on the Thursday of week
one of the unit and a worksheet for observations. The students will then make observations of
what they see (i.e. is it a dense growth, what color the growth is, what is the morphology of the
plate) on the worksheet.
Next, the teachers will hand back the agar plates with antibiotics in the medium. The students
will record whether or not the bacterium grew, as well as the morphology of the growth.
Finally, the teacher will introduce the final artifact (Public Service Announcement, PSA). This
will be a brochure the students will complete at the end of the unit. The teacher will show
students an example of the brochure and pass out the rubric for the project.

Day 7
Topic
Guest Speaker: Spread of diseases in hospitals
Lesson/inquiry/investigation ideas
Students will be introduced to their guest speaker and the guest speaker will give their speech for
approximately 30 minutes and students will have 10 minutes to ask their questions. Students will
later use their laptops to research how their bacteria spreads and work on brochure for the rest of
the class period

Day 10
Topic
Peer-review of PSA/brochure
Lesson/inquiry/investigation ideas
The teacher will assign the students with a partner in order to complete a peer-review of their
PSA/brochure. The partners will review each others PSA/ brochure and give feedback on them.
The students will then take the feedback given to them by their partner and make revisions to
their PSA/brochure.
The students will also complete a post-assessment.

Students will be instructed to pick only one disease that pertains to their bacteria and explain
how this disease in particular is responsible for the spread and how we can further prevent it.
Students will then work on their brochure to incorporate that information and any other
information they need to.
Day 12
Student Learning Objectives (SWBAT)
- Students will be able to pick one disease that their bacteria is responsible for and explain
how we can stop the spread of this particular disease.
