Warm – Up : Complete “DO NOW” on guided notes page.
Objective(s):
Describe seven themes that can help you to organize what you learn about biology.
7 min
AGENDA
Enter the classroom silently and find your seat.
Essentials: Pen or pencil, GN, Characteristics of Life packet.
Write down homework in your planner.
WARM- UP
Wait silently for instructions

2. Beetle and You
List all the characteristics that you have in common with this beetle.

3. Beetle comparison
Eat Grow Specific body parts related to function Mobile Respond to the environment Produce offspring

4. Objective of the day
Describe seven themes that can help you to organize what you learn about biology.

5. Statement of Inquiry/IB Trait
The relationship between the structure and function of our parts is one way that we define what it means to be human.
IB TRAIT: Thinkers, communicators and inquirers.

6. Homework
Complete the characteristics of life worksheet. All answers must be in complete sentences or they will be counted wrong!
Due tomorrow!
Not the day we meet next!

7. Biology – The Study of Life
Life arose more than 3.5 billion years ago
First organisms (living things) were single celled
Only life on Earth for millions of years
Organisms changed over time (evolved)

8. New organisms arose from older kinds
Today there are millions of species
They inhabit almost every region of Earth today

9. Unifying Themes of Biology

10. Themes of Biology Cell structure and function
Stability and homeostasis
Reproduction and inheritance
Evolution
Interdependence of organisms
Matter, energy, and organization

11. Cell Structure and Function
Cell basic unit of life
All organisms are made of and develop from cells
Some composed of only a single cell (unicellular) which is usually identical to parent

12. Cells Most organisms are composed of many cells (multicellular)
Cells are different (undergo differentiation)
Cells are small
Cells are highly organized

13. Cells contain specialized structures (organelles) that carry out the cell’s life processes
Many different kinds of cells exist
All cells surrounded by a plasma membrane
Contain a set of instructions called DNA (genetic information)

14. Stability and Homeostasis
Organisms must Maintain very stable internal conditions - HOMEOSTASIS
Temperature, water content, chemical content, etc. must be maintained

15. Reproduction and Inheritance
All organisms produce new organisms like themselves REPRODUCE
Organisms transmit hereditary information to their offspring INHERITANCE

16. DNA Genetic Information in all cells Deoxyribonucleic Acid
DNA contains instructions for traits GENES
Make the structures and complex chemicals necessary for life PROTEINS
DNA in every body cell (SOMATIC CELLS) is exactly alike

17. Sexual Reproduction Egg and sperm  zygote (fertilized egg)
Hereditary information from two different organisms of the same species are combined
Egg and sperm  zygote (fertilized egg)
Zygote contains hereditary information from both parents

18. Asexual Reproduction
Hereditary information from one, usually unicellular, organism that divides
Resulting cells contain identical hereditary information
Genetic information from single parent

19. Evolution
Populations of organisms change (evolve) over generations (time)
Explains how many different kinds of organisms came into existence SPECIES
Explains how modern organisms are related to past organisms

20. Explains why organisms look and behave the way they do
Provides a basis for exploring the relationships among different groups of organisms

Natural Selection
Natural selection is the driving force in evolution
Organisms that have certain favorable traits are better able to successfully reproduce than organisms that lack these traits
Copyright Cmassengale

22. Natural Selection
Survival of organisms with favorable traits cause a gradual change in populations over many generations
Also Called “Survival of the Fittest”

23. Interdependence of Organisms
Interaction of organisms with one another and with their environment ECOLOGY
Insects depend and flowers DEPEND on each other for food & pollination COEVOLUTION

24. All organisms need substances such as nutrients, water, and gases from the environment
The stability of the environment depends on the healthy functioning of organisms in that environment

25. Guided Practice Is it living or nonliving?
In this lab, you will observe several objects to determine if they are living or nonliving.
OBJECTIVES
Compare living and nonliving things.
Identify traits common to living things

26. Guided Practice Living or non living
Guided Practice Living or non living? In your notes packet answer the following
10 min
1. Which specimens are alive? Dead? Nonliving?
2. What do living things have in common?
3. How do nonliving things differ from living things?
4. Were there traits that you know are common to living things that you were unable to observe? If so, what methods or conditions might allow you to observe these traits?
5. Evaluating Results In what ways did your previous knowledge about what items are living or dead influence you as you were doing this lab?
*Each person needs to work for him/herself.

27. Guided Practice Living or non living?
3 min
Ask scholars to grade their work while you go over the answers.
Turn and talk in your table groups about your answer and why it was different.
Voice Level 1
Each person needs to work for yourself but discuss as table group.

29. Independent Practice
10 min
Complete the Independent Practice worksheet in your guided notes
Write down as many of the seven themes in biology that are illustrated by this figure
Voice Level 0

30. Exit Ticket
5 min
Complete the exit ticket silently and stack at your table group when you are finished.
You may pack up your things.

31. STOP Cards
S Summarize: Summarize the day’s lesson and what we learned.
T Trait: What IB trait relates to the lesson?
O Objective: Re-state in your own words and say whether or not we met that objective for the day.
P Purpose: What was the purpose of this lesson?

32. Exit Procedure SILENTLY Pack up all of your things.
Wait for teach directions to:
Push in your chair.
Form a line at the door.
Silently exit the classroom.
