Lesson 3- Cellular Organization Labs
Use Lab learner videos to work with students before the lab.
Investigation 1- The students will use the microscope to view cells and determine if they can identify the type of organism a cell comes from through observation?
Work in the lab using microscopes and slides. Do a worksheet and answer questions.
Investigation 2- The students will compare specimens which are prepared differently to determine if staining and sectioning affect the appearance of a specimen. Use pictures from the internet to identify cross and longitudinal sections celery and a corn stem. Also explain how staining helps to view specimens. Do a worksheet and answer questions.
Investigation - 3 The students will use prepared slides to tell if the specimen is a Plant or Animal cell. Also decide if they are from the same organisms. Do a worksheet and answer questions.
Lesson 4-Test
Use Vocabulary test and Lab Learner Test
Requirements and Assessment Procedures for Science 2024-2025
55% of Grade:
Test- given at the end of each cell (unit) an objective test and Lab Learner test- announced in advance.
Performance Assessment- Lab designed and implemented by students (one assigned per trimester
Written Project - Projects range from one page essay to formal research project in grade 8.
35% of Grade:
Investigations (SDR) - Lab experiments results, analysis, calculations, charts, and conclusions, and good work
Digital Platforms - Flocabulary, Science World, and Discovery Education assignments
Doodle Notes - Content and neatness of assignments
Homework – All homework must be completed by assignment date. All questions and vocabulary must be answered in a complete sentence. Penalty will incur on missed homework according to assignments and to the days a failure to complete assignment occurs (penalty will be assigned to next test given or lab assessment).
Quizzes- Vocabulary, Prentice Hall worksheets
10% of Grade:
Lab Participation – per “CELL” or Unit
Class Participation and Cooperation
Extra Credit will be given to students who enhance the class’s topical discussion.
Please send in $5.00 (cash if possible) to cover the cost of the Science World magazine and supplies needed for class this year. Thank You
Thank you for all your support. I look forward to a great school year and appreciate all the help and encouragement you can give your child. Please know I will give your child credit for their hard work.
