1. BES: Plant & Animal Cells
May 6, 2019
Please open your journal to warm ups and take out your yellow worksheet for a stamp (if completed).

2. Check out your plants…
Measure all your seedlings and calculate the average for DAY 5.
Record in your data table.
Record the control measurements in your data table.
Fill water.
Add toxins.

3. QUIZ over Mod 6 on Friday! 14 pt multiple choice
Need to know how a plant metabolizes a toxin (notes on Wed)
Where plants store toxins (notes on Wed)
Examples of bioremediation (we’ve discussed many!)
Function of organelles
Hierarchy of organization…atom to organism

4. Warm Up
What is the most basic level of the organization of living things?
What is the most complex?
Remember a QUIZ over Mod 6 will be on Friday!

5. NOTES: Organization of Life
These are the levels of organization:
This shows the different organizational levels of life, increasing in size and complexity as you move up through the chart.
Much like an ecosystem consists of organisms and abiotic factors interacting, organisms are also networks of interacting elements.
We’re zooming in from thinking about respiration in ecosystems and organisms to thinking about systems within organisms, cells, and the structures within cells: organelles. The next unit (genetics) will take us even further into the cell and the organization of life.
Teacher note: you can return back to this chart throughout the primer and Genetics unit, to anchor into this larger framework.

6. Organization of Life NOTES There will be a QUIZ over Mod 6 on Friday

7. Let’s review the organelles…
Watch this video and pay close attention to the function of the organelles.
Cell structure and function Video clip

8. Cells as a City Analogy Group Activity
You have 30 minutes to create your city!
Use your yellow worksheet as a guide to create an analogous large city using all the organelles of a PLANT cell.
For example the cell wall is a rigid structure that helps support the plant cell, this might be a fortress wall surrounding the city.

9. Microscope Activity There is a class copy instruction sheet.
There is a student copy worksheet to write on.
Follow the directions. The monocular microscopes do not have 4th lens—so make sure check out the binocular scopes to determine magnification of the 4th lens.
