Evaluation: In order to receive credit for this unit and test permission you must:
Complete and have a teacher mark all laboratory/investigation activities.
Take notes on each section
Complete Unit Review- self test
Once the above is complete, get test permission from a teacher to write C2 Quiz and Written Response (In assessment centre)
Ensure that you read all the information from the textbook. Read the material and take notes as you see fit.
Complete learning activities as you navigate through this digital learning guide.
Pay attention to bold terms
Do as many of the review questions from the textbook as you find necessary to learn the material. These review questions area good indicator of how well you understand the materials. The Check and Reflects and Section Reviews are an excellent way to test your understanding of the material you have studied.
5. Attend the optional seminars for this topic. Please refer to the seminar schedule on D2L.
When you have completed the learning activities embedded throughout this digital learning guide, and readings for this section (C3.1- C.5) you will be able to:
Explain why, when a single-celled organism or colony of single-celled organisms reaches a certain size, it requires a multicellular level of organization, and relate this to the specializations of cells, tissues, and systems in plants.
Describe how the cells of the leaf system have a variety of specialized structures and functions.
Explain and investigate the gas exchange system in plants.
Explain and investigate the transport system in plants.
Explain and investigate phototropism and gravitropism as examples of control systems in plants
Trace the development of theories of phototropism and gravitropism.
