Genetics Disorder Research Sheet

This unit project focuses on how genetics affects humans directly.  Many people are affected by genetic disorders; you may even have some family members or friends with some of these diseases.  I suggest that you choose a disorder that affects someone you know or intrigues you because it is strange or interesting.  The goal is to research the disorder and orally present information and recent research through a PowerPoint, comic strip, poster, brochure, research paper, poem, rap, or storyboard. You must complete the graphic organizer below first then pick one of the above ways to present the information you have gathered.

Examples to choose from but are not limited too: Alzheimer’s Disease, Angelman Syndrome/ Prader-Willi Syndrome, Celiac Disease (Celiac Sprue), Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21), Huntington Disease, Klinefelter Syndrome (XXY Syndrome), Parkinson’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Tay-Sachs Disease, Triple-X Syndrome (Trisomy X), Turner’s Syndrome,  or XYY Syndrome

Discovering Cells

Directions: Respond the to writing prompt on a sheet of paper. 


  1.    Explain how microscopes allowed scientists to discover cells and develop the cell theory. Use text  evidence in your response. 



Directions: If the statement is true, write true. If the statement is false, change the underlined word
or words to make the statement true.



1.                                      Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things.
2.                                      Telescopes are instruments that can magnify very small objects.
3.                                      Cells were first observed by Robert Hooke.
4.                                      Light microscopes use beams of electrons to produce magnified images.
5.                                      Resolution is the condition when objects appear larger than they really are.
6.                                      Magnification is the ability to distinguish details on an object.
7.                                      If a compound microscope has a 10× lens in
