1. How are cells classified?

Describe the classification of cells based on:

• Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic
• Plant vs Animal

2. What makes up cells?  

Compare and contrast the structure and function of organelles found in plant and animal cells.

Know the 12 organelles on the Spreadsheet

Be able to list the function when given an organelle.

Identify the organelle by the structure.

3. What are the parts to the Cell Theory?

Understand the three parts of the cell theory.

Who were the scientists responsible for the cell theory?

4. What is the History of Science surrounding cells?

Who founded the first microscope?

Who was the first scientist to coin the term “cell?”

5. What are the parts to a microscope?

6. How do you correctly use a microscope?

Cell Organelles

Animal and Plant Cell Foldable

Examples

Essential Cell Organelles

Cell wall
Cell membrane
Cytoplasm
Nucleus
Nuclear membrane
Nucleolus
Vacuoles
Mitochondria
Endoplasmic reticulum
Ribosomes
Golgi body
Chloroplasts

For each organelle you are responsible for:

• Where it is present in an animal cell, plant cell, or both
• Where it is found in the cell
• What the organelle looks like (structure)
• What the organelle does (function)

Conduct an investigation to provide evidence that living things are made of cells; either
one cell or many different numbers and types of cells.

Parts of an Experiment and Skills

We started to investigate the scientific process as a system.

In the next week, we will look at the structure and specific parts found in experiments.  Students will need to identify the different parts given an experimental scenario.  

Starting with the following article titled, "Life Saver," we read about scientists' methods to experiment and solve problems.

Experimental Vocabulary:

• question
• hypothesis
• procedure
• variables: independent and dependent
• constant
• control
• conclusion
• observations

Who said the Mythbusters could only have fun!?

After watching Mythbusters and experimenting on our own with carbonation and nucleic sites the students wanted to mimic the experiment.  So we did!

Students are trying to mimic the movement of the Sewer Lice using common objects.

Here is a video and picture of them developing an experiment to model their movement.

Systems Approach and Lorax Concept Maps

Here are some of our students' concept maps in action!

They are making connections and showing interactions within the ecosystem in the Land of Lorax.

Systems Approach - The Lorax Movie

Today we talked about a systems approach to science and how to breakdown complicated things into systems and sub-systems.

Here is an example of a science notebook.

The Original Lorax Movie from 1972

Mystery Cubes

Today in class we investigated what good science looked like.

Mystery Cube Activity

We modeled trying to find out:

What does the bottom of the cube look like?

Students came up with the following list of skills used today in class.

Here is a template of a cube if you want to try to put it together.

My Science Summer

Our first activity is "My Scientific Summer."  We will ask you to think of an aspect of the summer that you can relate to a discipline or disciples of science.
