Monday 12 September 2011Topic: Characteristics of LifeDO NOWUnderneath your list for hw, answer
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 distributionCharacteristics of LifeReading for
Understanding
HOMEWORK Finish reading 1.3 if you
didn’t in class. If you did finish, re-read it and try a new reading strategy. EITHER WAY, you should have notes on this reading!
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.
Reading Section 1.3Get one of the class set textbooksOpen to pg16 and for the next 20
minutes, read as much of section 1.3 as possible (don’t rush).
As you read, use reading strategies that are the most effective for you to understand the reading.
This reading activity is silent and on your own. Raise your hand if you have a question.
OBJECTIVESList characteristics that all living things share.
Reading For Understanding… wrap up
What Makes it Difficult? Effective Strategies…
OBJECTIVESList characteristics that all living things share.
Tuesday 13 September 2011Topic: Cells and NutritionDO NOWReferencing 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 what you
will be presenting on Monday

OBJECTIVESList 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 what you will be presenting on Monday
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 pptOBJECTIVES
Explain what you will be presenting on Monday
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 what you will be presenting on Monday
Wednesday 14 September 2011Topic: Cells and NutritionDO NOWWhat organism does your group
have? What information do you already know about it? Describe what you feel you’ll be able to do well with a presentation project, and what aspect you foresee struggling with. How do you aim to overcome your challenge?
OBJECTIVESExplain the difference
between the 2 main types of cells
Describe how cells acquire energy from food.
AGENDACompare types of
cells & nutritionWork on project
HOMEWORKRead article about
“extremophiles” and answer corresponding questions
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
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
WITH YOUR GROUP:Based upon the category of organisms that
your group has, your job TODAY is to decide WHICH SPECIES you will be focusing on. E.g. “penguin” is not a sufficient answer since there are many types of penguin.
TOMORROW:◦During the second half of the double block, you
will be working with your group on your project. Please bring any necessary materials!
Thursday 15 September 2011Topic: Species and ClassificationDO 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
• Work on your project
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.
EXAMPLES:Homo HabilusCanine LupusHumanPitbullshitzuDalmation
NON-EXAMPLES:CatSalmonDogBirdFelines
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
WHY?◦Individuals of the same species can
behave DIFFERENTLY
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?
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?
