Check questions #1 - #5
Finish notes on organelles with PowerTeaching
20 minute timer to finish questions #6 - #10
Go over answers that students finished in this document. Answers to questions (private)
Finish any cell notes
Give students time to come create flashcards using this template. Check tomorrow as a HWClasswork assignment
Cell Kahoot (another time)
Students pair up and study...quizlet, flashcards, etc. Check tomorrow as a HW assignment
Students will play cell games and complete this document by showing me their progress within. This is a grade/homework.
Cell Quiz on organelles
Read and answer questions in Intro reading to cells (including presentation linked in the document)
Continue Intro reading to cells and answering questions.
Remind about parts of microscopes, safety and procedures.
Complete Part 1 of microscope specimens
Continue Microscope Work looking at cheek cells and sugar.
Finish cell slides, including onion cells and plant cells from aquarium plants, and the cell related question in Microscope Mania information.
Went over Cell Presentation from microscope lab of material we did not discuss.
Talked about Cell Analogies like Cell Factory and Cell School to prepare for Cell City Assignment
Students should be working on the creation of their Cell City on good paper after making a draft on printer paper. They can work in a pair or alone.
There is NO homework and there is no expectation to work on this outside of class.
Students have been briefed and should know what to do.

Next to last day to work on Cell City
Adventure Day
Finish Cell City Project
Cell City is due
Confirm all went well with Cell City Assignment
Define "Phenomenon" (Scientific phenomena are occurrences in the natural and human-made world that can be observed and cause one to wonder and ask questions). . Explain we are often going to create models and explanations to help us understand phenomena.
Practice Model making with making a PB & J sandwich. Image. Image of advanced Phenomenon, Site with pictures of interesting Phenomena. Modeling Tools, How to make a PB&J sandwich
Start PB & J sandwich model, noting System Models and Energy and Matter. Picture to use to guide model making. and tools
TEACHER DAY - NO STUDENTS
NO SCHOOL
15 Minutes to complete PB & J model
Students peer review their PB & J models using this form...I review models students rated as well done and share with the class.
Review how to improve upon their PB & J models, especially in preparation for their Photosynthesis models.
Students review Photosynthesis Paper and watch the video
Students get the period 1. to write an explanation of what is happening during the process Photosynthesis and
2...draw a simple model of Photosynthesis. The writing portion is in Google Classroom. They may work with a partner.
Finish Photosynthesis Google Question (10 points) and model work (10 points) from yesterday
Launch Sealed Ecosystem Phenomenon
Show sealed Shrimp Ecosystem (small)
Announce Guiding Question: "How can shrimp, snails, plants and algae theoretically survive in a sealed environment without air or food being added?"
Students can begin Guided Vocabulary posted in Google Classroom.
Finish Vocabulary
Go through resource page
Some students begin very rough drafts
Questions on boards...Photosynthesis...What does it need?, What does it make?, Where does it happen? Cellular Respiration...What does it need?, What does it make?, Where does it happen?...Where does energy make an appearance in each model...BIG QUESTION...Why do these processes rely upon each other?
Photosynthesis/Cellular Respiration Modeling...with kits. Glucose model picture to project
Answer Molecular Model questions in Google Classroom
Rough Draft of Sealed Ecosystem
Rough Draft transitioning to Final Draft
Last model day work
Constructing Explanations...students have period to write two paragraphs answering the core question about the Sealed Ecosystem and how the Crosscutting Concepts are evident in this phenomenon
Submit in Google Classroom
Earth as a Sealed Ecosystem Analogy infographic
Introduce and begin planning and work
Day to continue Earth as Sealed Ecosystem Analogy infographic
Due Tuesday
NO SCHOOL
NEXT WEEK:
Finish Guiding Vocabulary
Have students go to resource page and stress to students that this needs to be gone through thoroughly to guide them through the Phenomenon
