Week of 12.13—12.17

Catalyst: Please write the answers to these questions on a blank piece of paper. Monday: Get out any notes you have about plant and animal cells. Write down 3 facts about plant cells and 3 facts about animal cells. If you don’t have notes, pick some up from the table in the center of the classroom Tuesday: Please describe (in writing) a niche of an animal you know about—What does it eat? Where does it live? How much space does it need? Where does it get water? Wednesday : Work with a partner to classify these things into two groups: apples, peas, orange, banana, carrot, lettuce, turnip, pear, grape, potato Thursday: Study For Vocab Test

Standards and Objectives Standard: II.II.III.3. Understand that many basic functions of organisms are carried out in cells, including: -growth and division to produce more cells (mitosis) II.II.III.4. Compare the structure and processes of plant cells and animal cells. Content: SWBAT: Compare and contrast plant and animal cells. Language: SWBAT: Write an ACE paragraph exactly like the ACE paragraph on the test that compares and contrasts plant and animal cells. BOTTOM LINE: This is the ACE paragraph from the semester exam!

Plant vs. Animal Cell Review

Opening: Each group is responsible for one question: 1.What are the two basic types of cells? 2.What is one thing that a plant cell has that an animal cell doesn’t? 3.What is another thing that a plant cell has that an animal cell doesn’t? 4.What are two things that plant and animal cells have in common? Bonus: Are plants multicellular or unicellular? Are animals multicellular or unicellular?

INP: Answer the following question using an ACE paragraph: Compare and Contrast plant and animal cells. Give examples of each to expand upon your answer. Plant and animal cells have similarities and differences. First, both cells have,, and. However, these two cell types have differences. Plant cells have, yet animal cells do not. This allows the plant cell to. Plant cells also have, yet animal cells do not. This structure allows the plant to. An example of a plant is a(n). An example of an animal is a(n). Finally,

Closing: work on a semester review sheet.

Catalyst: Please write the answers to these questions on a blank piece of paper. Monday: Get out any notes you have about plant and animal cells. Write down 3 facts about plant cells and 3 facts about animal cells. If you don’t have notes, pick some up from the table in the center of the classroom Tuesday: Get out your notes, a piece of paper, a pencil, and try to find information about genetics, mitosis, and reproduction. Wednesday : Work with a partner to classify these things into two groups: apples, peas, orange, banana, carrot, lettuce, turnip, pear, grape, potato Thursday: Study For Vocab Test

Standards and Objectives Standard: (multiple standards) Content: SWBAT: Identify differences between mitosis and meiosis SWBAT: Explain dominant alleles, recessive alleles, one gene causing one trait, one gene causing more than one trait, and environment effecting gene expression. Language: SWBAT: Present to the class about one of the content objectives BOTTOM LINE: These are all topics that we scored the lowest on during our previous tests.

Objective Review

Opening: Explain Group Presentations In your group, decide on one person to hold the whiteboard and one person to present to the class. Decide on one person to draw or write on the whiteboard. That makes everyone else’s job to look through the notes and/or the book to find answers to these questions. On the whiteboard, you must write the answer to your question, and you must be able to present it to the class. Each group will get a presentation grade When you aren’t presenting to the class, you must write your exit ticket by writing one or two sentences that explain what each of the groups presented.

INM/GP: Prepare Group Presentations 1.What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis? Name an example of a cell produced by mitosis. Name an example of a cell produced by meiosis. 2.What is the difference between fertilization and meiosis? (hint: which process MAKES reproductive cells) 3.What is the difference between dominant and recessive alleles? If every person that inherits an allele for Huntington’s disease actually has the disease, then which type of allele is responsible for this disease? 4.What is an example of one trait being caused by more than one gene? How do we know that this trait is caused by more than one gene? 5.What is an example of a multiple traits being caused by only one gene? What is an example of the environment affecting gene expression? 6.What is the difference between unicellular and multicellular organisms? Draw a picture of a unicellular organism and a picture of a multicellular organism.

Exit Ticket: Group 1: Mitosis…., but meiosis….. Group 2:… Group 3:… Group 4:… Group 5:… Group 6:…

Closing: Students read Exit Tickets out loud. Work on study guides
