What are we learning?
Daily Objective: Students will complete guided notes and interactive activity for plants.
TEKS/AP/Standards:
10B: Describe the interactions that occur among systems that perform the functions of
transport, reproduction, and response in plants.
5B (S) SWBAT Examine specialized cells including roots, stems, and leaves of plants.
How will we learn it?
Learning Activities: Plant Response Cards. Students will learn about plant response:
phototropism, gravitropism, and thigmotropism. We will also review plants with a reading
and discussion about roots, stems, leaves, xylem, and phloem.
Review Plant Lab Stations questions
How will we tell if we’re learning it correctly?
Assessment Methods: Group discussion activity.
Checks for Understanding: Plant Quiz
What do I need to be successful?
Materials: Laptop, Pen, Pencil, Notebook
What do I need to before next class?
Follow Up/HW: Study for upcoming Plant Test (February 25th/26th, 2015)
What are we learning?
Daily Objective: Students will review and answer questions about plants.
TEKS/AP/Standards: 10B: Describe the interactions that occur among systems that perform
the functions of transport, reproduction, and response in plants. 9B (S) SWBAT Compare the
reactants and products of photosynthesis and cellular respiration in terms of energy and
matter.
How will we learn it?
Comparing Photosynthesis to Cellular Respiration-activity sheet to review where these
processes happen in the cell, in which organisms, and the equations.
Plant Review-Students will review all plant notes and play jeopardy to prepare for their Plant
Test (February 25th/26th, 2015)
How will we tell if we’re learning it correctly?
Assessment Methods: Think-Pair-Share, Jeopardy
Checks for Understanding: Questioning

Wed/Thurs
Friday
What are we learning?
Daily Objective: Students will review and then complete a test on plants to show what
they’ve learned.

What do I need to before next class?
Follow Up/HW: Ecology activity reviewing food chains and food webs.
What are we learning?
Daily Objective: Students will complete guided notes over the ecology unit.
TEKS/AP/Standards: 12C (R) SWBAT Analyze the flow of matter and energy through trophic
levels using various models including food chains, food webs, and ecological pyramids.
How will we learn it?
Learning Activities: Students will complete guided notes. Students will analyze different food
chains and food webs. Students will be introduced to the 10% rule and will apply it to their
food chain. Students will also identify organisms in their food chains who are autotrophs,
heterotrophs, and the different levels of consumers.

Assessment Methods: Warm-Up, Exit Ticket
Checks for Understanding: Question and discussion.
