HW Finish leftover classwork 7-1 Section Assessment questions 1-5 AND the ‘Thinking Visually’ prompt AGENDA Unit 2 objectives Pre-assessment! Guided reading on cells Notebook checks

2. Unit 2 Objectives & Pre-Assessment Staple Unit 2 Objectives into your notebook and keep track of all scores that you get back Pre-assessment should only take ~15 min When completed, start the guided reading activity If I don’t check your notebook today, I will do so during tomorrow’s lab

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: 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!

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. LAB SEATS

10. 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.

11. Thursday 29 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: Label the cell diagram. Include a description of the function of the 3 common cell parts. Research an assigned cell component. AGENDA Introduction to cells

12. First image of cells ever! Observations: OBJECTIVES Describe 3 components that all cells share.

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

14. What makes a cell? 3 things that ALL cells have: ◦ Cell membrane (barrier) – protects; controls what enters and exits the cell ◦ Genetic material (info) – instructions for making proteins ◦ Cytoplasm (fluid) – allows materials to move within cell OBJECTIVES Describe 3 components that all cells share.

15. 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.

16. 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.

17. 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.

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

19. 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.

20. Friday 30 September Topic: Organelles! DO NOW ◦ Find a seat around the table and write the name of your organelle on the name tag provided ◦ Take out your Organelle Summary (last night’s HW) 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 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 Organelle debate Day in the life of a cell

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

22. Organelle Debate PURPOSE: ◦ To hear your classmates’s opinions regarding what they believe to be the most important task in a cell ◦ To be able to contribute to a class discussion in a positive manner PROTOCOL: ◦ You may speak when you have the giant microbe ◦ Each member of the class must participate at least once by stating which organelle you believe is the most important AND WHY ◦ If you feel the need to respond, raise your hand for the microbe and contribute positively (even if you disagree) ◦ NEGATIVE COMMENTARY or speaking out of turn will result in you being OUT, and adding a step towards a blue slip OBJECTIVES: Identify the major organelles in a eukaryotic cell Explain the functions of the major organelles in a eukaryotic cell Make connections between the organelles in a eukaryotic cell

23. Reflection & Exit Ticket What were some good points that were made? Why did these stand out to you? Has your opinion changed at all? How so? Write what you consider to be the 3 most important organelles of the cell and explain why. Write a paragraph that explains how well you think you did in today’s activity. Consider the following: ◦ Did you articulate your thoughts clearly? ◦ Were you considerate of the opinions of your classmates? ◦ Did you word your contributions in a positive manner?
