CGA 1 and Plant Structure Pick up your focus lesson. You should be completing the “Taking it to the next Level column” Last chance for review!!! Work super hard!!!

If you finish your FCIM early… Double check that you have completed ALL columns AND that your name can be easily found. Take out your quarter 1 notebook and review any concepts you are worried about. I will answer any questions about the test in a moment. This is not the time to ask.

Essential Question Can I pass a District test which covers how life creates the energy to live?

How will we get there? Last Review classesThis class FCIM- Diagram Day 3 CGA review ▫Cell Structure ▫Cellular energy FCIM- Taking it to the next level Are you prepared? CGA 1- TEST!!!!! Begin unit on plants

Preparation Reflection Please complete the handout.

“Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try” Today is our first test- TRY your best! First Grade of the 2 nd Nine Weeks!

CGA minutes, 30 questions If you complete the test early…. ▫Remain Silent ▫CHECK your work! ▫Bonus Bin/ Extra Credit activity #1 for second quarter

Today’s Objective SWBAT: describe the structure of major plant organs and tissues and their functions ▫(roots stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, stomata, guard cell)

Time to color!!! Use your paper handout to copy this drawing. Make it pretty- want to be able to study from this!

Plant Structure Day 2 Grab a new focus lesson from the front desk, and be ready to go at the sound of the bell! ▫Put your new quarter 2 notebook underneath your desk

Essential Question How do the major structures and tissues of plants allow them to undergo the processes they require to live? (photosynthesis, cellular respiration and transpiration)

How will we get there? Last ClassThis class FCIM- Taking it to the next level Are you prepared? CGA 1- TEST!!!!! Begin unit on plants Plant Lab: Exploring the structures Guided Notes HW Graphic Organizer

2 nd Quarter Notebook Let’s paste in our table of contents and set our notebook up before we start our lab! While you are pasting in your Table of Contents and Numbering your pages up to 50- REMEMBER ODD PAGES ON THE RIGHT, EVEN ON THE LEFT- I will be giving you credit for bringing in your notebook on time. If you do not have a notebook today you should use this time to find a safe place to keep your papers, and to WRITE DOWN A REMINDER to bring one in next class.

Explore – Lab Specimens PAGE 4 We will be exploring familiar plant organs by making predictions about their functions based on their structures. In the lab you will identify the structure that you see at the lab station and you will predict the function. ▫In some cases the structure will be identified with a dissection pin. You should be able to visit all 7 lab stations and make your predictions in 21 minutes.

Explain: Plant Structure Notes PAGE 3 Plants are made of tissues and organs, just like us! Tissues are a group of cells that have a similar structure and function. ▫Recall how plant cells are different from animal cells. Organs are a group of tissues that have similar structure and function ▫What organs do you have?

Plant Tissues Meristematic ▫Undifferentiated Cells/ Stem Cell (rapidly divide) Ground ▫Leaves, Young Roots, Stems (Inside of the plant) support for the plant Dermal/ Epidermal ▫Single layer outer covering (like the “plant’s skin”) Vascular ▫Complex hollow tubes that transport water, nutrients  Think of how blood travels through your body!

Plant Organs Roots- Support the plant and absorb, transport and store nutrients. Stems- Support plant, house vascular system and store food or water Leaves- Gather light, retain water, exchange gases Flowers- Reproductive Structure (think pollen) Fruits- Fertilized female ovary of a flower Cones- Reproductive Structure (pollen/sperm production)

Plant Structures Xylem- Vascular tissue that carries water Phleom- Vascular tissue that carries nutrients (sugar) Cambium- Vascular tissue, produces xylem and phloem cells Seed- Structure which stores and protects the plants embryo (think reproduction!)

Plant Structures con.. Stomata- Small opening located on the leaf: ▫Allows CO 2 into the plant ▫Allows oxygen out of the plant Guard cell- Controls the size of the opening of the stomata.

Plant Processes Transpiration ▫Evaporation of water through leaf stomata. ▫Major force moving water through plants.  Think about perspiration (sweat)!!!! Reproduction ▫Seeds: Egg (female) ▫Pollen: Sperm (male)  Put ‘em together and you get a baby plant!!!

Successful Students Will Choose to: Create flash cards for: ▫Stomata ▫Guard Cell ▫Roots ▫Stems ▫Leaves ▫Flowers ▫Fruits ▫Cones Extra Credit Opportunity at the bottom of your notes!
