HW 7-1 Section Assessment questions 1-5 AND the ‘Thinking Visually’ prompt AGENDA Unit Objectives Pre-assessment Guided reading on cells Notebook checks

2. Today’s checklist Unit Objectives stapled into notebook Pre-assessment (~15 min) Guided reading activity with a partner Any unfinished classwork is HW

3. Guided Reading Each student needs a book Working in partners, you will do a guided text walk This information should set the stage for our next unit While you’re working, I will be doing notebook checks ◦ If you have questions, try to solve the issue with your neighbors before asking me OBJECTIVES Gain an introductory understanding of cells through a guided reading activity.

4. Tuesday 27 September Topic: What are Cells? DO NOW Write down at least 3 detailed observations about the image. OBJECTIVES Describe 3 components that all cells share. HW: (SEPARATE SHEET TO TURN IN) Create an outline of what you think proper consequences should be for missing work and off-task behaviors in class Research an assigned cell component (look it up in your text). AGENDA Introduction to cells

5. First image of cells ever! Observations: A cell wall Green Different sizes Its dark Looks like scales Looks like bricks Shiny Compact OBJECTIVES Describe 3 components that all cells share.

6. STOP & JOT: take 1 minute to write… What is ONE similarity among all these pictures? OBJECTIVES Describe 3 components that all cells share.

7. What makes a cell? 3 things that ALL cells have: ◦ Cell membrane (barrier) – Controls (Permeability) what goes in and out of the cell. ◦ Genetic material (info)- DNA or RNA that contains the info to make proteins. ◦ Cytoplasm (fluid)- So the cell can move around and so things can move around inside the cell. OBJECTIVES Describe 3 components that all cells share.

8. Sketch both cells in your notebook. Label which is eukaryotic and prokaryotic. Cell membrane DNA Cytoplasm (DNA floating in cytoplasm) (DNA inside the nucleus) Prokaryote Eukaryote OBJECTIVES Describe 3 components that all cells share.

9. The Cell Theory 1. All living things are made of cells Multicellular Organisms (many cells) Unicellular Organisms (one-celled) OBJECTIVES Describe 3 components that all cells share.

10. The Cell Theory 2. Cells give an organism its structure and function - they control everything the organism need to do to stay alive Even the most complex organisms are made of a bunch of different types of cells working together. OBJECTIVES Describe 3 components that all cells share.

11. The Cell Theory 3. All cells come from pre-existing cells. a.Prokaryotic cells reproduce by splitting in half – binary fission (Asexual) b.Eukaryotic cells reproduce by mitosis OBJECTIVES Describe 3 components that all cells share.

12. Exit ticket: Take one of the slips of paper as your assigned cell component to research tonight in your text. Be sure to write this down somewhere! OBJECTIVES Describe 3 components that all cells share.

13. Wednesday 28 September Topic: Organelles! DO NOW ◦ Take out last night’s hw ◦ Create a list of top 3 norms that you feel are important to the class functioning properly AND 3 steps of warnings that you feel would be fair before the final step of a blue slip. OBJECTIVES Explain what procedures & warnings must be in place for a class to learn best. Identify the major organelles in a eukaryotic cell Explain the functions of the major organelles in a eukaryotic cell Make connections between the major organelles in a eukaryotic cell HW: Using your notes from class and the diagrams on pg 175, complete the worksheet to label the cell components and describe their functions AGENDA Create class norms / procedures / consequences Organelle speed dating

14. Norms Important norms for EVERYONE to be able to learn:

15. Warnings & Consequences: 3 steps to be taken before you receive a blue slip: Discuss with your neighbor and turn in your plan

16. The Rewards! I will have a glass jar For each day the CLASS is focused and productively engaged and on-task, I will add marbles to the jar Once the jar is full, your class will have earned a Friday game day

17. Organelle Speed Dating Take an index card and write your organelle’s general function and information down on it. You will carry this with you for the remainder of the period!

18. Cell Organelle Speed Dating Organelle Speed Dating Rules: When you meet another organelle: ◦ Introduce yourselves and shake hands ◦ Find out each other’s jobs (3 min.) ◦ Figure out a connection between the two of you – how do your jobs relate? (1 min.) ◦ Record information in the Organelle Chart. ◦ At the gong, find the next organelle. OBJECTIVES Identify the major organelles in a eukaryotic cell Explain the functions of the major organelles in a eukaryotic cell Make connections between the major organelles in a eukaryotic cell

19. Thursday 29 September Topic: Microscope Lab DO NOW Take a textbook and turn to page 1070 On the provided diagram of the microscope, label all parts with a leader line. OBJECTIVES Use a light microscope in order to view a specimen under 3 levels of magnification and correctly identify all parts of the microscope by completing a lab on observing prepared fiber samples. HW: Create a vocabulary list in your notebook of all the microscope parts, including their functions (page 1070) AGENDA Introduction to the light microscope Lab protocol Microscope lab!

20. Base Light Diaphragm Stage Stage clips Objective lenses Nosepiece Eyepiece Arm Coarse focus Fine focus Power switch OBJECTIVES Use a light microscope in order to view a specimen under 3 levels of magnification and correctly identify all parts of the microscope by completing a lab on observing prepared fiber samples.

21. Lab Protocol Stay at your assigned table and get materials/equipment only when instructed Use the equipment in the manner intended, follow all directions 5 minutes before the bell, put away all supplies and clean up your entire lab table ◦ MESSY TABLES WILL RESULT IN POINT DEDUCTIONS OBJECTIVES Use a light microscope in order to view a specimen under 3 levels of magnification and correctly identify all parts of the microscope by completing a lab on observing prepared fiber samples.

22. Microscope Protocol ALWAYS support the microscope from underneath – do NOT carry it only by the neck! Be mindful of keeping the light on when the microscope is not in use. When on the highest power magnification, use ONLY the fine adjustment OBJECTIVES Use a light microscope in order to view a specimen under 3 levels of magnification and correctly identify all parts of the microscope by completing a lab on observing prepared fiber samples.

23. Microscope lab You have the remainder of the double block to complete the entire activity If you cannot finish, it is your responsibility to finish the lab during office hours afterschool on either Tuesday or Thursday OBJECTIVES Use a light microscope in order to view a specimen under 3 levels of magnification and correctly identify all parts of the microscope by completing a lab on observing prepared fiber samples.
