Monday 26 SeptemberTopic: CellsDO NOW How do you think you

performed on Friday and why?

Which aspects did you find challenging?

How do you plan to change your study method to deal with these challenges?

OBJECTIVESGain an introductory

understanding of cells through a guided reading activity.

HW7-1 Section

Assessment questions 1-5 AND the ‘Thinking Visually’ prompt

AGENDAUnit ObjectivesPre-assessmentGuided reading on cellsNotebook checks

Today’s checklist

Unit Objectives stapled into

notebook

Pre-assessment (~15 min)

Guided reading activity with a

partner

Any unfinished classwork is HW

Guided ReadingEach student needs a bookWorking in partners, you will do a

guided text walkThis information should set the

stage for our next unitWhile you’re working, I will be

doing notebook checks◦If you have questions, try to solve the

issue with your neighbors before asking me

Tuesday 27 SeptemberTopic: What are Cells?

DO NOW Write down

at least 3 detailed observations about the image.

OBJECTIVESDescribe 3

components that all cells share.

HW: (SEPARATE SHEET TO TURN IN)• Create an outline of what you

think proper consequences should be for missing work and off-task behaviors in class

• Research an assigned cell component (look it up in your text).

AGENDA Introduction to cells

First image of cells ever!

Observations:A cell wallGreenDifferent sizesIts darkLooks like scalesLooks like bricksShinyCompact

OBJECTIVESDescribe 3 components that all cells share.

STOP & JOT: take 1 minute to write…

What is ONE similarity among all these pictures?

OBJECTIVESDescribe 3 components that all cells share.

What makes a cell?3 things that ALL cells have:

◦Cell membrane (barrier) – Controls (Permeability) what goes in and out of the cell.

◦Genetic material (info)- DNA or RNA that contains the info to make proteins.

◦Cytoplasm (fluid)- So the cell can move around and so things can move around inside the cell.

OBJECTIVESDescribe 3 components that all cells share.

Sketch both cells in your notebook.Label which is eukaryotic and prokaryotic.

DNA

Cytoplasm

(DNA floating in cytoplasm)

(DNA inside the nucleus)

ProkaryoteEukaryote

OBJECTIVESDescribe 3 components that all cells share.

The Cell Theory

1. All living things are made of cells

• Multicellular Organisms (many cells)

• Unicellular Organisms (one-celled)

OBJECTIVESDescribe 3 components that all cells share.

The Cell Theory

2. Cells give an organism its structure and function - they control everything the organism need to do to stay alive

Even the most complex organisms are made of

a bunch of different types

of cells working together.

OBJECTIVESDescribe 3 components that all cells share.

The Cell Theory

3. All cells come from pre-existing cells.

a. Prokaryotic cells reproduce by splitting in half – binary fission (Asexual)

b. Eukaryotic cells reproduce by mitosis

OBJECTIVESDescribe 3 components that all cells share.

Exit ticket:Take one of the slips of paper as

your assigned cell component to research tonight in your text.

Be sure to write this down somewhere!

OBJECTIVESDescribe 3 components that all cells share.

Wednesday 28 SeptemberTopic: Organelles!

DO NOW◦ Take out last night’s hw◦ Create a list of top 3

norms that you feel are important to the class functioning properly AND 3 steps of warnings that you feel would be fair before the final step of a blue slip.

OBJECTIVES Explain what procedures &

warnings must be in place for a class to learn best.

Identify the major organelles in a eukaryotic cell

Explain the functions of the major organelles in a eukaryotic cell

Make connections between the major organelles in a eukaryotic cell

HW:• Using your notes from

class and the diagrams on pg 175, complete the worksheet to label the cell components and describe their functions

AGENDACreate class norms /

procedures / consequences

Organelle speed dating

NormsImportant norms for EVERYONE

to be able to learn:

Warnings & Consequences:3 steps to be taken before you

receive a blue slip:Discuss with your neighbor and

turn in your plan

The Rewards!I will have a glass jar

For each day the CLASS is focused and productively engaged and on-task, I will add marbles to the jar

Once the jar is full, your class will have earned a Friday game day

Organelle Speed DatingTake an index card and write your

organelle’s general function and information down on it.

You will carry this with you for the remainder of the period!

Cell Organelle Speed Dating Organelle Speed Dating Rules:When you meet another organelle:

◦ Introduce yourselves and shake hands◦ Find out each other’s jobs (3 min.)◦ Figure out a connection between the two

of you – how do your jobs relate? (1 min.)◦ Record information in the Organelle

Chart.◦ At the gong, find the next organelle.

Thursday 29 SeptemberTopic: Microscope LabDO NOW Take a textbook and turn

to page 1070 On the provided diagram

of the microscope, label all parts with a leader line.

OBJECTIVES Use a light microscope in

order to view a specimen under 3 levels of magnification and correctly identify all parts of the microscope by completing a lab on observing prepared fiber samples.

HW:• Create a vocabulary

list in your notebook of all the microscope parts, including their functions (page 1070)

Lab ProtocolStay at your assigned table and

get materials/equipment only when instructed

Use the equipment in the manner intended, follow all directions

5 minutes before the bell, put away all supplies and clean up your entire lab table◦MESSY TABLES WILL RESULT IN

POINT DEDUCTIONSOBJECTIVESUse a light microscope in order to view a specimen under 3 levels of magnification and correctly identify all parts of the microscope by completing a lab on observing prepared fiber samples.

Microscope ProtocolALWAYS support the microscope

from underneath – do NOT carry it only by the neck!

Be mindful of keeping the light on when the microscope is not in use.

When on the highest power magnification, use ONLY the fine adjustment

OBJECTIVESUse a light microscope in order to view a specimen under 3 levels of magnification and correctly identify all parts of the microscope by completing a lab on observing prepared fiber samples.

Microscope labYou have the remainder of the

double block to complete the entire activity

If you cannot finish, it is your responsibility to finish the lab during office hours afterschool on either Tuesday or Thursday

OBJECTIVESUse a light microscope in order to view a specimen under 3 levels of magnification and correctly identify all parts of the microscope by completing a lab on observing prepared fiber samples.
