1. Life Processes: A Poem in two voices
EQ: How are life processes carried out by unicellular and multicellular processes?

2. We have been comparing how unicellular and multicellular organisms carry out life processes
We know:
Unicellular organisms have just one cell
Multicellular organisms have 2 or more cells
Both have all six characteristics of living things
Both carry on life processes to obtain food, water, oxygen and eliminate waste
Unicellular and multicellular organisms are systems that are working to maintain homeostasis
Homeostasis is a stable internal environment that allows an organism and its cells to survive
Water levels through osmosis
Energy (sugar levels) through photosynthesis/cellular respiration
Cell repair through mitosis
Today you will exhibit your depth of understanding of the similarities and differences between unicellular and multicellular organisms by creating a Poem In Two Voices
You may use your clipped notes and the anchor notes to assist

3. I am a mineral
(difference)
(similarity)
I am a rock
I am a pure substance. I am made of one type of element found in the periodic table

SCORE 1
The information is accurate, but the explanation is missing
I am igneous, sedimentary and more
SCORE: 0
The information and/or the description is inaccurate/wrong
A Poem in Two Voices
You will be comparing and contrasting unicellular and multicellular organisms
Be careful --- think about your examples. Truly make them come together as one in your “same” column.
Use the correct voice (“I” and “we”)
Be thorough --- offer ALL information known!
