Do you know the identity of the following riddle? “A box without hinges, key, or lid, yet golden treasure inside is hid.”

How does our body maintain its internal conditions despite stresses placed on our body by our environment?

Students will be able to……. Design a controlled experiment to determine the role that cell boundaries play in separating the internal environment from the external environment

1.Bell-ringer 2.Intro Cells in Action 3.Begin an Eggs-periment 4.Wrap-Up

Unit 1 make-up exam Tuesday after school at 3:15 in room 315

Respond to the following prompts silently on a half sheet of paper: 1.What was the most important thing you learned today about cells? 2.What was the most important thing you learned today about the scientific process?

Tuesday

Complete the Experimental Design questions on the handout you just received silently by yourself. Then re-read the procedure for the experiment we are setting up today.

How does our body maintain its internal conditions despite stresses placed on our body by our environment?

Students will be able to……. Design a controlled experiment to determine the role that cell boundaries play in separating the internal environment from the external environment Observe a video segment to determine how cells behave in different types of solutions

1. Review Lab Expectations 2.Set up Eggs-periment 3.Investigate different types of solutions 4.Begin graph 5.Wrap-Up

Unit 1 make-up exam Tuesday after school at 3:15 in room 315 I will be out tomorrow. You will complete a Metacognitive reading log in class that I will check on Thursday

CONVERSATION  Up to level 2  Only about assignment  Only with your group members HELP  Red cup = emergency question  Yellow cup = can wait question  Blue cup = no question  Continue working while you wait  Ask 3 before me MOVEMENT Acceptable reasons:  Hand in/pick up materials  Restroom (only with pass) PARTICIPATION  Writing or doing what lab requires  Talking only with group about lab  Following directions the first time  Cleaning up when finished

Finish setting up your graph. Due Thursday.

Thursday

Based on the essay “Compartments” on p , respond silently to the following prompt: Why is our body considered a compartment with many smaller compartments? Reading log p will be checked next time I collect your notebooks.

Friday

Read the 2 sample conclusions silently. As you read make notes in your notebook about what you find good about each conclusion and what needs improvement.
