Lesson #2

Title: Comparing Animal cell Organelles to Plant cell Organelles

Grades 9-12

Time: 45

Standards:

·         1.2c the components of the human body, from organ systems to cell organelles, interact to maintain a balanced internal environment. To successfully accomplish this, organisms possess a diversity of control mechanisms that detect deviations and make corrective actions.

·         1.2d If there is a disruption in any human system, there may be a corresponding imbalance in homeostasis.

·         1.2e the organs and systems of the body help to provide all the cells with their basic needs. The cells of the body are of different kinds and are grouped in ways that enhance how they function together.

·         1.2f Cells have particular structures that perform specific jobs. These structures per- form the actual work of the cell. Just as systems are coordinated and work together, cell parts must also be coordinated and work together.

·         5.1b Plant cells and some one-celled organisms contain chloroplasts, the site of photo- synthesis. The process of photosynthesis uses solar energy to combine the inorganic molecules carbon dioxide and water into energy-rich organic compounds (e.g., glucose) and release oxygen to the environment.

·         CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RST.11-12.1 Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of science and technical texts, attending to important distinctions the author makes and to any gaps or inconsistencies in the account.

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RST.11-12.5 Analyze how the text structures information or ideas into categories or hierarchies, demonstrating understanding of the information or ideas

Materials: smart board, lap tops, Venn diagrams, color pencils, 5 lap tops, text: Living Environment Biology

·         Goal: Students will compare the functions of plant organelles to animal organelles and understand each function.

Essential questions:

·         What are the components-organelles of a plant?

·         What are the components -organelle of an animal cell?

·         Do the plant and animal cell organelles have the same functions: Explain you answer?

·         What are the importance of cell organelles?

Students Will:

·         Describe the components and functions of a plant and animal cell.

·         Compare and contrast plant and animal cell functions

·         Name plant organelle functions

·         Name the animal cell organelle functions

·         Describe the structure of the plant and animal cell

·         Explain what happens if there is organelles dysfunction in the cell

·         ICT’s to support data organization, cell function analysis, and data presentations and draw conclusions.

Students will be able:

·         Give details of plant and animal cell functions.

·         Describe the character of each cell and know the difference

·         Comprehended that plant and animal cell have organelles that carry out specific functions for the survival of the organism/plant

Performance task:

·         Venn diagrams, cell puzzles,  brain pop quiz, accountable talks, lesson quiz, group discussions

Other Evidence:

·         Complete Venn diagram comparison

·         List out difference of cell organelles and functions

·         Complete quiz’s and give accountable talks

Learning activities:

Connect students to prior knowledge-use prompt/probing question. If the environment is imbalanced what would happen? Explain in any organization each member has a specific functions for that organization to run smoothly. The cell also has different members called organelles that functions to form a balance, help the cell to run and function smoothly. What would happen if there is a dysfunction in one other the cell organelles predict what would happen? Give the students plenty of time to hypothesize-

Show brain pop clip of plant and animal cells and let the students take the quiz.

 Introduction students to the text main content being covered and let them read and find detailed differences in the plant and animal cell-tell them to use post-it notes for each organelle that is different pages 132-134.

Give groups lap tops/computers and web site information. Remind students of safety use of computer use. Let student complete cell comparisons animations on cells alive in groups.

Students will organize details, main ideas of cell functions by completing a Venn diagram. Students will be given plenty of time to determine important difference in their groups.

For differential instruction-lower level students will be paired with higher level students. Quite student will be given plenty of time to share ideas. Brain pop, Cells alive animations, Venn diagrams, and student talks.

For closure students will complete a Venn diagram and share out details and differences of animal/plant cell organelles with the class.
