1 Unit EQ How is a cell like a city? Unit Title: Structure and Function Grade: 7th Time Frame: 38 days Unit Overview Big Ideas: systems, structure, system functions Cell structure Cell function CONTENT MAP Tissue structure Tissue function Standard Addressed *S7L2 a B C D E Level of Learning Analyzing Application Application Integrating Knowledge Unit Topic: S7L4 a integrating Structure and Function Organ structure Organ function System structure System function *primary standard Process Skills: S7CS1a; SCS2a,b,c; S7SC4a,c; S7SC5a,b; S7SC6a,c; S7SC9b,c,e,f; S7SC10a,c

2 Enduring Understandings (Concepts/Big Ideas) Students will understand that 1. cells are the basic unit of life. 2. cells are organized. 3. all living things are made up of cells. 4. cells carry on life processes. 5. plant and animal cells are different. 6. different types of cells have different functions. 7. cells require energy to undergo processes for growth and reproduction. 8. energy is transferred from organism within an environment. 9. cell parts are interdependent. 10. cells make up tissues; tissues make up organs; organs make up systems; systems make up organisms. Essential Questions 1. How are cells organized? 2. Why are plant and animal cells different? 3. How does cell structure relate to cell function? 4. How much energy is enough for cells to carry on processes? 5. What things effect the transfer of energy within an environment? 6. What would happen if the nucleus of a cell was damaged? AC = Assessment Code: I Informal Knowledge and Skills Selected Response CR Constructed Response PA Performance Assessment (formative) Students will know (Acquisition lessons) AC Students will be able to AC 1. mitosis is the process of producing new cells. 2. the 3 parts of the cell theory. 3. the parts and functions of plants and animal cells. 4. the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. 5. the cell processes of osmosis, diffusion, active and passive transport, endocytosis, exocytosis, cellular respiration, photosysthesis. 6. all living things maintain homeostasis. 7. the structure of a cell relates to its function in a living thing. 8. cells make up tissues, tissues make up organs, organs make up systems, systems make up organisms. CR I,CR,I,I 1. explain a cell s life processes including osmosis, diffusion, active & passive transport, endocytosis, exocytosis, cellular respiration, photosynthesis, and reproduction. 2. demonstrate the hierarchy of an organism s organization. 3. develop and explain a food web that shows energy transfer between organisms. 4. differentiate between plant and animal cells. 5. differentiate between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. 6. explain the parts of the cell theory. 7. compare and contrast the human body systems. CR,PA CR

3 Knowledge (cont.) 9. energy transfers from organism to organism within an environment. 10. the similarities and differences of the major human body systems. AC ASSESSMENTS Informal: daily interactive journal entries, check warm-ups, group discussions, think-pair-share, oral questioning, observation, conferences, student self and peer assessment, daily checks using ticket out the door, parking lot notes, cell labs, diffusion lab Selected Response: Multiple choice tests, matching test Constructed Response: Graphic organizers, short discussion/essay, fill-in-blank tests, concept maps, illustrations, 4-door foldable on mitosis Performance Assessment (Authentic Use): play/skit on cell processes, museum cards showing plant and animal cell similarities and differences, debate of importance of each human body system Summative Assessment (GRASPS) Goal: to create a virtual cell model to be used to teach cell structure and function Role: Product designer for Biological Model Designs, Inc. Audience: Middle School teachers and students Situation: You have been asked to work with a team to plan, design and create a virtual cell model and then sell it to middle school teachers to help 7 th grade students understand the structure and function of the parts of an animal or plant cell. Product: virtual cell model showing organelles and their functions Standards/Criteria: S7L2 (students will describe the structure and function of cells, tissues, organs and systems)

4 Instructional Plan/Activities (Activators, Teaching Strategies, Summarizers) Correlations Use numbers from Understandings, Knowledge, and Skills to correlate Enduring Understandings Know (Acquisition) 1. Create a cell model 2 3 1,4 2. Diffusion lab (ex: cool and hot water in beakers, add food coloring) 4,7,8 3,5 1 Or Osmosis lab (ex: compare mass of unshelled egg before/after soaking in water and then in corn syrup) 3. Draw, label, and compare the plant and animal cell 2,5 3, Write a newspaper article on Leeuwenhoek and the cell theory 1,2, foldable with notes on osmosis, diffusion, passive and active transport 6,7, page foldable with each step of mitosis on a page group skit/play on cell processes 4, Centers using microscopes to identify steps of mitosis/graphic organizer of 5,7 1 1 definition/summary of lab 9. Distribute cards with picture/name of a mitosis step. Students organize into 5,7 1 1 right order, showing the continuing cycle. 10. Energy transfer flow chart Jigsaw activity group: human body systems, argue importance of each selfevaluate 10 6,10 2,7 12. Create a table comparing and contrasting the structures and functions of a prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell. 13. Word splash of vocabulary terms, write a paragraph/story using each All All All 14. Individually create a flow chart showing the hierarchy of cell, tissues, organs, 10 8,10 2,7 and systems. Then think/pair/share with a partner. 15. Vocabulary foldable with key terms and definitions All All All Do

5 Differentiation: Remediation: Prepared notes for SE/low students, created graphic organizers for SE/low students, unlabeled drawing of cells for LD students, peer coaches, unlabeled drawing of microscope, provide illustrations to remind of main ideas, Enrichment: use reference materials to learn about work of Marcello Malpighi, electron microscopes and cells, research cellular engineering, demonstrate respiration using bromthymol blue and ammonium hydroxide, investigate use of fertilizers and insect repellants on plants, Resources: Interactive journal, graphic organizers, paper, museum cards of various plants and animals with information, various materials to create cell models, water, beakers, food coloring, unshelled egg, balance, corn syrup, textbook for reference, various textbook and internet references, drawings of plant and animal cells, microscopes, prepared slides of mitosis, index cards, overhead transparencies Key Terms: Plant cell, animal cell, prokaryotic cell, eukaryotic cell, cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, organelle, nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, tissue, organ, organ system, organism, cell theory, passive transport, active transport, diffusion, equilibrium, osmosis, diffusion, facilitated diffusion, endocytosis, exocytosis, metabolism, photosynthesis, respiration, fermentation, mitosis, chromosome, interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, haploid, diploid
