discuss the special properties of
water that contribute to Earth's
suitability as an environment for
life: cohesive behavior, ability to
moderate temperature, expansion
upon freezing, and versatility as a
solvent.

DAILY MEASUREABLE OBJECTIVE:
DAILY MEASUREABLE OBJECTIVE:
By the end of class, students will
learn how to use the scientific
method and demonstrate this by
analyzing a lab activity.
By the end of class, students will
learn how to use the scientific
method and demonstrate this by
designing a scientific investigation
using a scientific problem.
DAILY MEASUREABLE OBJECTIVE:
By the end of class, students will meet
learning goal and demonstrate this by
creating a graphic organizer and taking a
mini assessment ( quiz)
DAILY MEASUREABLE OBJECTIVE:
By the end of class, students will meet
learning goal and demonstrate this by
taking cornell notes and modeling water
molecules.
DAILY MEASUREABLE OBJECTIVE:
By the end of class, students will meet
learning goal and demonstrate this by
performing a lab investigation ( lab
stations)
LEARNING ACTIVITIES:
FCIM Bellringer
I do- Review Scientific Method
We do-Analyze results from Yeast Lab
You do- Finish and turn in Yeast Lab and
analysis
LEARNING ACTIVITIES:
FCIM Bellringer
I do- Review Sci. Method/ Variables
We do- Practice identifying scientific
method components
You do- Design your own lab using the
experimental design form ( this is the
unit end product for 1.1)
LEARNING ACTIVITIES:
FCIM Bellringer
I do- Intro to Biochemistry ( CH.2.1)
We do- vocabulary and review
subatomic particles and bonding ( ionic ,
covalent, hydrogen)

COMPREHENSION CHECK: List and
steps in order of the scientific
inquiry process.
know if a scientific claim is real or
false? What is pseudoscience?
difference between an ionic and
covalent bond?
describe the properties of water
that make it essential for life.
Explain what it means when we say
water has a high specific heat.
Why is it so important for life that
ice floats?
