Monday 26 September Topic: Cells DO 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? OBJECTIVES Gain an introductory understanding of cells through a guided reading activity. HW Finish any leftover classwork 7-1 Section Assessment questions 1-5 AND the ‘Thinking Visually’ prompt AGENDA Unit 2 Objectives Pre-assessment Guided reading on cells Notebook checks

Today’s Checklist Staple Unit 2 objectives into your notebook Pre-assessment (~15 min) When completed, it goes into the pink bin Guided text walk activity with a partner MEANWHILE I will be doing notebook checks All work on separate pieces of paper should be turned in via the pink bin HW = finish classwork and answer questions (6) at end of 7-1 reading

Guided Reading Each student needs a book Working in partners, you will do a guided text walk This information should set the stage for our next unit While you’re working, I will be doing notebook checks If you have questions, try to solve the issue with your neighbors before asking me OBJECTIVES Gain an introductory understanding of cells through a guided reading activity.

Tuesday 27 September Topic: Microscope Lab DO 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) AGENDA Introduction to the light microscope Lab protocol Microscope lab!

Eyepiece Nosepiece Arm Objective lenses Stage clips Coarse focus Stage Fine focus Diaphragm Light Power switch Base 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.

Lab Protocol Stay 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 DEDUCTIONS 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.

Microscope Protocol ALWAYS 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 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.

LAB SEATS

Microscope lab You 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 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.

Thursday 29 September Topic: What are Cells? OBJECTIVES Describe 3 components that all cells share. DO NOW Write down at least 3 detailed observations about the image. HW: REVISION! Complete the cell chart as best you can AGENDA Introduction to cells

First image of cells ever! Observations: -black and white -cracks, not smooth -resembles cell -scale like -tight junctions -different sized shapes -cell wall -resembles bricks OBJECTIVES Describe 3 components that all cells share.

STOP & JOT: take 1 minute to write… What is ONE similarity among all these pictures? OBJECTIVES Describe 3 components that all cells share.

What makes a cell? 3 things that ALL cells have: Cell membrane (barrier) protection, what enters and exits the cell Genetic material (info) identification (unique to organisms), instructions to make proteins Cytoplasm (fluid) allows materials to move around more easily OBJECTIVES Describe 3 components that all cells share.

Cell membrane DNA Cytoplasm Sketch both cells in your notebook. Label which is eukaryotic and prokaryotic. Cell membrane DNA Prokaryote Cytoplasm Eukaryote (DNA floating in cytoplasm) (DNA inside the nucleus) OBJECTIVES Describe 3 components that all cells share.

The Cell Theory All living things are made of cells Unicellular Organisms (one-celled) Multicellular Organisms (many cells) OBJECTIVES Describe 3 components that all cells share.

The Cell Theory 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. OBJECTIVES Describe 3 components that all cells share.

The Cell Theory All cells come from pre-existing cells. Prokaryotic cells reproduce by splitting in half – binary fission Eukaryotic cells reproduce by mitosis OBJECTIVES Describe 3 components that all cells share.

Exit ticket: If all cells come from pre-existing cells, how do you suppose the first cell came about? OBJECTIVES Describe 3 components that all cells share.

Friday 30 September Topic: Organelles! DO NOW Find your organelle label at the lab benches and sit ACROSS from your organelle buddy Take out your Organelle Summary (last night’s HW) OBJECTIVES 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 AGENDA Organelle speed dating Day in the life of a cell

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.) Find a connection between the two of you – how do your jobs relate? (1 min.) Record information in the Organelle Chart. People facing the board move one seat over (follow the numbers!!) OBJECTIVES 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
