the following in complete sentences:
How did you go about making your list? Describe your thinking process.
What was challenging about making this list?
Do you think your list has any flaws? Explain.
OBJECTIVESList
characteristics that all living things share.
AGENDAMoney collection; text
and notebook distribution
Characteristics of LifeComplete GIST
HOMEWORK Read section 1.3 in your text.
Practice creating a summary sentence of each paragraph (you don’t need to use GIST for this). For any reading method you use, you should have notes on the reading tomorrow.
Text/Notebook DistributionNOTEBOOKS:
◦Unless otherwise indicated, ALL WORK is to go in the notebook. This includes Do Now and Exit Ticket prompts, notes from class and lab activities, and homework assignments. Your notebooks will be collected at random and graded.
TEXTBOOKS:◦These are to stay at home for assignments and
reference. You are responsible for bringing them back IN THE SAME CONDITION in June – otherwise the fee incurred is about $70

OBJECTIVESList characteristics that all living things share.
Characteristics of LifeUsing your hw as a guide, turn to
your elbow partner and combine your lists into one master list of 8 characteristics.
If you do not have 8, try to brainstorm more. If you have more than 8, attempt to eliminate the traits that are not necessary for a species to continue.OBJECTIVES
List characteristics that all living things share.
ALL Living things…
1. Are made up of at least one cell2. Reproduce3. Have a genetic code4. Grow and develop5. Use energy and materials6. Respond to their environment7. Maintain homeostasis8. Adapt/evolve over generations
OBJECTIVESList characteristics that all living things share.
Tuesday 13 September 2011Topic: Cells and NutritionDO NOW Referencing your hw,
what reading strategies did you use? What difficulties did you find in reading a science text? What other strategies might you try next?
OBJECTIVESExplain the difference
between the 2 main types of cells
Describe how cells acquire energy from food.
AGENDA Finish characteristics of life Complete GIST Compare types of cells Outline modes of nutrition Project introduction & group
assignments
HOMEWORKRead article about
“extremophiles” and answer corresponding questions

OBJECTIVESList characteristics that all living things share.
What is a cell?The smallest unit of lifeCapable of performing all the functions
that are characteristic of lifeCan be 1 of 2 main types:
◦ PROKARYOTIC (Bacterial cells)
◦ EUKARYOTIC (Plant, animal, or fungal cells)
OBJECTIVESExplain the difference between the 2 main types of cellsDescribe how cells acquire energy from food
Prokaryotes Eukaryotes
Two main cell types:PROKARYOTES and EUKARYOTES
OBJECTIVESExplain the difference between the 2 main types of cellsDescribe how cells acquire energy from food
Comparing Cell TypesHow do you tell the difference
between a prokaryotic cell and a eukaryotic cell?
OBJECTIVESExplain the difference between the 2 main types of cellsDescribe how cells acquire energy from food
White Blood Cell w/ Cocci (bacteria)
Epithelial Cells w/ Bacilli (bacteria)
Two main cell types:PROKARYOTES and EUKARYOTES
OBJECTIVESExplain the difference between the 2 main types of cellsDescribe how cells acquire energy from food
Modes of NutritionAll species – unicellular or multicellular – must gather outside resources to convert into usable energy
TWO MAIN OPTIONS:◦Autotrophic species gather raw
materials to make into food, which they then process later for energy
◦Heterotrophic species gather food that is already made, they only process it for energy
OBJECTIVESExplain the difference between the 2 main types of cellsDescribe how cells acquire energy from food
Modes of NutritionExamples of the 2 types:
◦AUTOTROPHS
◦HETEROTROPHS
OBJECTIVESExplain the difference between the 2 main types of cellsDescribe how cells acquire energy from food
GIST completionIn the time remaining in class, work
EITHER by yourself OR with your elbow partner to complete the GIST reading
◦If you work in partners, alternate one person reading a sentence aloud and creating the summary, then the other person reads the next sentence, and so forth.
I will collect the summary sheet today!OBJECTIVES
List characteristics that all living things share.
Classification Project!Assigned groups of 4 – each
group will be given a Domain or Kingdom of organisms to present, in addition to a species of your choosing from that category
Graded upon:◦Information in the powerpoint◦Powerpoint format◦Presentation skills
OBJECTIVESExplain the difference between the 2 main types of cellsDescribe how cells acquire energy from food
Classification Project!TODAY:
◦After being assigned to a group, move desks to work together
◦Send a representative to get texts and graphic organizers
◦Choose roles for who will research which information from the text today
You will have the next double block with laptops to create the ppt
OBJECTIVESExplain the difference between the 2 main types of cellsDescribe how cells acquire energy from food
EXIT TICKET:What aspect of this type of
project do you feel comfortable in performing?
Do you foresee any challenges or obstacles? How do you plan to work through these?
OBJECTIVESExplain the difference between the 2 main types of cellsDescribe how cells acquire energy from food
Don’t forget:HW is to read “Extremophile” article and answer
questionsTurn in your GIST summary sheet before you leave!!!
Thursday 15 September 2011Topic: Cells and NutritionDO NOWExplain how, under a
microscope, one can easily tell the difference between a prokaryote and a eukaryote.
How are autotrophic and heterotrophic species different?
OBJECTIVESDescribe what a
‘species’ is.Explain the hierarchy
of classifying a species.
AGENDA• Define ‘species’• Group various
organisms according to the hierarchical classification system
HOMEWORKWrite a 2 paragraph (minimum)
reflection on what steps you think scientists must go through in order to document a new species. How might they go about proving that the species was previously unknown? What data do you think they might have to collect?
What is a species?SILENTLY, take 1minute to
brainstorm and write down as many examples of species that you can think of.
OBJECTIVESDescribe what a ‘species’ is.Explain the hierarchy of classifying a species.
What is a species?SILENTLY, take 1minute to
brainstorm and write down as many examples of species that you can think of.
OBJECTIVESDescribe what a ‘species’ is.Explain the hierarchy of classifying a species.
EXAMPLES:•Red Panda •homo sapien sapien •Black Bear•Oak Tree•Snow Leopard•Ball python
NON-EXAMPLES:•Semi-Aquatic•Mammals•Birds•Snake•Bird
What is a species?A species is the basic category of
biological classification, composed of related individuals that resemble one another, are able to breed among themselves, but are not able to breed with members of another species.
EXAMPLE:◦tiger + tiger = tiger◦tiger + lion = liger (a hybrid
species)
OBJECTIVESDescribe what a ‘species’ is.Explain the hierarchy of classifying a species.
ClassificationSpecies are classified into a
hierarchy based upon APPEARANCE, not behavior◦Individuals of the SAME species
might have different personalities
OBJECTIVESDescribe what a ‘species’ is.Explain the hierarchy of classifying a species.
ClassificationHIERARCHY from most general to
most specific:◦DOMAIN◦KINGDOM◦PHYLUM◦CLASS◦ORDER◦FAMILY◦GENUS ◦SPECIESOBJECTIVES
Describe what a ‘species’ is.Explain the hierarchy of classifying a species.
ClassificationScientific names for each of the
categories in the hierarchy are always in Latin (or are made into something ‘Latin-y’)
Why?◦Latin = dead language
GENUS + SPECIES
OBJECTIVESDescribe what a ‘species’ is.Explain the hierarchy of classifying a species.
EXIT TICKET:Explain why it is important to classify an
organism based on appearance, and not by behavior.
When a species is discovered, why is it important that the name is in Latin?
TOMORROW:◦You will be working with your groups on your
project, so be prepared with any necessary materials!
GIST:◦Since we have not been able to finish it in class,
completing it on your own time and turning it in will count as extra credit
