1. Opening Activity: Oct 19, 2016
Pick one of the biomolecules that we’ve studied : fats, proteins, glucose, or starch.
Write a prediction about whether the molecule can move into cells, moves out of cells, or moves in both directions.
Explain your reasoning. Why do you predict that this molecule will move in or out of the cell?
I can… predict and explore how biomolecules move in and out of cells by conducting a lab investigation
Homework:
Last day to retake S.S test!
Biomolecule quiz next Tues

2. Black Lives Matter
Our goal is to make our classroom and school an anti-racist space where all races and cultures are respected and valued
Pick up the reading about “Henrietta Lacks’ ‘Immortal Cells’ today, read for Friday

4. Lab 5: Investigating the cell membrane
Explore if starch, fat, protein, glucose, and water can move through the cell membrane
Predict
Design set up
Make a model and set up your lab
Tomorrow we’ll collect and analyze our data

5. Lab experiment vocabulary
Reliability
Validity
Control
Variable

6. Supplies and how to make a “cell”
Teacher demonstration and control set up

7. Write your prediction and design your set up
As a group, write your prediction
Draw your experimental design. Include all labels you may use.
Get a stamp or teacher initials before getting supplies

8. Clean up!!! Leave 5 minutes to clean up
Label your experiments with masking tape and put them on the back cart
Put away all lab supplies, wipe off your table
Sometimes during class today answer these “closing questions” in your LAB NOTEBOOK:
1. What did you learn from making a mental model yesterday?
2. In your own words, why do you think modeling is important for scientific understanding and discovery?

9. Leave your notebooks on the bookshelf today
