Goals

(standards) Essential Q (provocative question to foster inquiry, understanding, and transfer) Students will understand that (big ideas, specific understandings desired, cf misconceptions )

1 Cell basics a b What makes life alive? What is the smallest living thing? Cells are the basic unit of life There are different kinds of cells All eukaryotic cells have the same basic structure

2 Cell function and interaction a b How do organisms function as a single creature? Cells manufacture proteins Cells regulate (themselves/e nviro?) Cells help an organism regulate itself

3 DNA a b What is DNA?

4 Genetic variation and heritance a b How do cells reproduce? Why are we all different?

5 Evolution by natural selection a b a b

6 Ecosystems a b a b

7 Humans and ecosystems a b a b

8 Human health a b a b

students will know (facts, concrete ideas)

cell organelles (membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, Golgi apparatus, ETC) basic molecules found in cells (carbohydrate s, lipids, proteins, ETC) types of cells

factors that influence cell function (pH, temp, ETC) types of transport (active, passive, diffusion, ETC) how cells create proteins importance of proteins to organism function compare transport types explain cell regulation, organism regulation, and the interaction (????)

students will be identify able to (skills, differences application between actions) eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells identify organelles and describe their functions explain living vs non-living Assessment a b Learning plan a (Where going, b Hook, Equip, Rethink, Evaluate, Organize) vocabulary (organelles), eukaryote, prokaryote, carbohydrate, lipid, protein

DNA are the There are two instructions to ways for cells create and to reproduce operate an (most?) organism Genetic Genes come in variation different comes from flavors sexual reproduction Genes can mutate during reproduction Genes are Mendel (?) instructions steps of for a meiosis and particular mitosis protein how genes DNA is mutate comprised of (process? segments when?) called genes, how organized into crossover strands called creates chromosomes variation DNA is pros and cons deployed of sexual vs through a two asexual step process reproduction humans have 23 pairs of DNA explain/diagr describe the am stages of transcription mitosis and & translation meiosis explain how compare phenotypes/g sexual vs enotypes/allel asexual es are related reproduction (homozygous vs heterozygous) a b a b a b a b
