1. Do Now ( write the question and a response) Why do cells differ in size and shape? How is a cell membrane like a defensive line on a football team?

2. Welcome to Science September 22, 2015 : Cell Organelles I’ve learned that the best way to appreciate something is to be without it for a while. - Age 14

3. Agenda Warm-Up Questions Homework – Reading Science: A Framework for Function – Plant/Animal Cell Diagram – Cell City Today’s Assignment

4. Homework Reading Science: A Framework for Function – Due on Thursday 9/24 Plant/Animal Cell Diagram – Labeled and color coded – Due on Thursday 9/24 Cell City – Rough draft (w/analogies) due 9/24 – Examples (YouTube, pictures)

5. Cell City Project Draw/Trace a picture of a plant or animal cell on your poster Choose 10 organelles to identify and label Find out the function (primary job) of the cell structure.

6. Cell City Project continued… Create an analogy (comparison) between the cell structure and an everyday object or person that has a similar function or use. For example: – The nucleus is like a brain because it controls and coordinates the activities of the whole cell in the same way the brain controls and coordinates the activities of the body. Find and paste pictures of your everyday objects or people next to the label of the structure. Write your analogy next to your picture.

7. TEXTBOOK EXPLORATION Turn to pages 406-413 – Using Cornell Note style, record additional information in notebook on organelles – Complete the summarizing table on page 413 – Time allotted (25 minutes) Exit activity (10 minutes) – Students will use Costa’s 3 story house to develop 3 possible test questions covering Cell Theory and the functions of cell organelles When complete, students will work on homework assignments for duration of the period.
