Monday
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 Gizmo Activity. Discussion, Questioning, and Label different parts
of the plant. Students will test their knowledge about the reproductive organs of the plant.
Review Plant Lab Stations questions
How will we tell if we’re learning it correctly?
Assessment Methods: Group discussion activity, plants quiz
Checks for Understanding: Exit ticket-question from gizmo
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 kahoot 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.
TEKS/AP/Standards: 10B: Describe the interactions that occur among systems that perform

Follow Up/HW: Text reading on Ecology.
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 also create a food
chain on their own, and then they will join 3 other classmates to join their food chains and
create a food web. Important terminology will be used to determine if the organisms are
autotrophs or heterotrophs, then primary consumer, secondary consumer, tertiary
consumer, or quaternary consumer. Student’s will also learn about the 10% rule and will
come up with numbers that show how energy is passed on from one organism to another in
their food chains/webs.
How will we tell if we’re learning it correctly?
Assessment Methods: Warm-Up, Exit Ticket
Checks for Understanding: Question and discussion.

Follow Up/HW: Ecology Reading about symbiosis(Mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism)
