CURRICULUM EXPECTATIONS
The following are the overall and specific expectations addressed in the teaching of this concept, as per the Ontario Curriculum:
Overall Expectations
Students will:
A2: identify and describe careers related to the fields of science under study, and describe the contributions of scientists, including Canadians, to those fields
D1: evaluate the importance of some recent contributions to our knowledge of genetic processes, and analyse social and ethical implications of genetic and genomic research
D3: demonstrate an understanding of concepts, processes, and technologies related to the transmission of hereditary characteristics
A2: identify and describe careers related to the fields of science under study, and describe the contributions of scientists, including Canadians, to those fields
D1: evaluate the importance of some recent contributions to our knowledge of genetic processes, and analyse social and ethical implications of genetic and genomic research
D3: demonstrate an understanding of concepts, processes, and technologies related to the transmission of hereditary characteristics
Specific Expectations
A2.1: identify and describe a variety of careers related to the fields of science under study (e.g. zoologist, botanist, geneticist, ecologist, pharmacologist, farmer, forester, horticulturalist) and the education and training necessary for these careers
D1.2: evaluate, on the basis of research, the importance of some recent contributions to knowledge, techniques, and technologies related to genetic processes
D3.5: describe some reproductive technologies (e.g., cloning, artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization, recombinant DNA), and explain how their use can increase the genetic diversity of a species (e.g., farm animals, crops)
