Cell Models and Fun with Play-Doh 11/17-11/191. In class, complete the "Cell as a Factory Worksheet"http://www.sciencenetlinks.net/pdfs/cellsystem_actsheet.pdf 2. Next, build a small plant or animal cell model (2-3" in diameter) out of Play-Doh, including the following organelles: Cell wall Centrioles Chloroplasts Chromosomes/chromatin Cytoskeleton cytoplasm Endoplasmic reticulum (smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum) Nuclear membrane Nucleolus Golgi apparatus Lysosome Mitochondria Plasma membrane /AKA cell membrane Peroxisome Ribosomes Vacuoles 3. Take a picture of your cell and place it in a Word Document. 4. Finally, label the organelles with pictures/images that are analogies for the various "jobs" or functions of organelles. For example, a cell membrane may be labeled with a gate, a mitochondria labeled with a power plant. Cell Parts Flash CardsAssignment: Make flash cards of the vocabulary in 7.1 and 7.2 as well as read the "how stuff works links"http://science.howstuffworks.com/cell-info.htm/printablehttp://science.howstuffworks.com/cellular-microscopic-biology/cell.htmwww.cellsalive.com Interactive cell modelsTree ID/Fall Leaf Labposted 3 minutes agoOct 14, 2009 1:33 PM by Kellie Burtch
Food Web 3-D Models Due October 23rd Awesome website for finding diet and predators of animals: http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/index.html Interactive Food Web Links http://www.gould.edu.au/FOODWEBS/kids_web.htm The handout: Name:_____________________________ Food Web Project-Ecology Unit Due: Friday October 23rd This completed rubric is part of your final grade. Please be sure to keep this in a safe location and submit with your final project. The goals of this project are for you to explore and become familiar with plants, animals, and fungi that are living in the New England Area** and to better understand energy transfer between trophic levels. You will learn some of the ways these organisms in our back yard interact with each other and how they interact between the non-living environment. This branch of science is called ______________________. One of the main ideas of this field is that everything is ________________________. **Students who have turned in all projects to date and have at least a B GPA may seek teacher approval to choose organisms from another biome. Ex. tropical rain forest, desert, tundra Define and provide 3 examples of: Biotic: Examples of biotic factors in an ecosystem: Abiotic: Examples of abiotic parts of an ecosystem: You will be creating a 3-D model of a food web. Several examples of project possibilities will be discussed, including mobiles and clay sculptures. Requirements: 1. 14-20 Organisms 2. Label each organism with the genus and species (latin name) ex. Hyla versacolor Tree Frog 3. Use plants, animals, bacteria, and fungi that are found in New England 4. Represent each trophic (feeding) level: decomposers, producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers. 5. Demonstrate you understand the connections between organisms b making relationships in the web clear to anyone who views your project. This can be done with arrows (showing energy transfer-arrows pointing to the animal/plant that is eating another organism). 6. Written summary to accompany your model. This should be a minimum of three paragraphs long. Sources must be provided and sited MLA style. Grading Rubric Exceeds Meets Needs Improvement Project meets ALL requirements 40 25-35 < 25 Listed above Creative and takes academic 30 20-25 < 20 risks Professional and neat, turned in 30 20-25 < 20 on-time, in-class work habits. Total out of 100 points____________ Review: Label the Ecological Pyramid with the following: 1. Trophic level: decomposers, tertiary consumer, primary consumer, secondary consumer, producers 2. The amount (%) of energy transferred between each level 3. Sketch some cartoon images of the organisms you would expect to find at each level. Don’t forget the decomposers!!
