Grade 6 / MYP 1 Unit 2 Summative Assessment: Criterion A & D Name: DUE DATE: 06/12/20 7:00PM Statement of Inquiry: The identity of a cell depends on the organelles that it holds; the function of these organelles and the interaction between cells make each living organism unique but alike at the same time. Related Concepts: Key Concept: Identity Global Context: Identities & Function & Interaction Relationships In this unit so far you’ve learned that all living things are made of tiny building blocks called cells. Yes, even you. You’re made of billions or maybe trillions of tiny cells that come in different shapes and sizes. Almost everything you have ever eaten is made up of cells (even though it is no longer living). Fried chicken? Cells. Cheeseburger? Cells in the meat and in the bun. Veggies? Cells all the way through. Since you are so experienced at eating cells already, we thought maybe it was time for you to make a giant one, pizza style! There are two main kinds of cells in most living organisms; either they are made up of animal or plant cells. For the most part these cells have a couple of things in common; they both have tiny parts called “organelles.” All organelles have a job to do to keep a cell alive and functioning and to help it do its major jobs. In this summative assessment you will have the role of being an SEK Kitchen Scientist and make a pizza that represents a cell of your choice; animal or plant. Your pizza dough will be the basic cell structure, and your organelles will be made of pizza toppings. STANDARD: Criteria A - The student is able to: i. outline scientific knowledge ii. apply scientific knowledge and understanding to solve problems set in familiar situations and suggest solutions to problems set in unfamiliar situations. iii. interpret information to make scientifically supported judgments. Criteria D - The student is able to: i. summarize the ways in which science is applied and used to address a specific problem or issue ii. describe and summarize the implications of using science and its application to solve a specific problem or issue, interacting with a factor. iii. consistently apply scientific language to communicate understanding clearly and precisely iv. document sources completely. Summative Assessment Requirements: Three Minute Video 1. The video must be 3 minutes maximum. 2. Guidelines for video: 1st min: Once you’ve made your pizza – either before or after cooking it state which type of cell you made (plant or animal) and describe what organelle each of the toppings on your pizza represents and explain their function in that cell. Suggestion: use toothpicks to label your pizza before filming your video explanation, for example: 2nd min: Tell the viewer about where cells belong in the organization of living organisms – mention how: cells -> tissues -> organs -> organ systems -> organism. 3rd min: Lastly, in your video summarize why cells are so important to living organisms. Share one fact about how cells are being used to help solve medical problems or issues today (Research!). Total time: 3 mins! Reminders: Remember to speak clearly in your video; use the scientific language appropriately. Clearly communicate your knowledge and understanding. Give credit to your resources when necessary. Your video will be graded for accuracy, completeness, planning, and creativity. Checklist for the organelles your pizza must contain (Be sure to include all cell structures listed below and use labels on your cells. Your edible pizza cell does not need to be huge. It can be a single serving size): Animal Cell Cytoplasm Nucleus Ribosomes Mitochondria Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough or Smooth) Golgi Apparatus Vacuoles Cell Membrane Lysosome Plant Cell Cytoplasm Nucleus Ribosomes Mitochondria Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough or Smooth) Golgi Apparatus Central Vacuole Cell Membrane Chloroplast Cell Wall Process Planning 22/11/2020: Plan out which cell you will make: Animal or Plant Plan out what materials you will need – what organelle each of your pizza toppings will represent. Make a list of the organelles and their functions here: Prepare a script you will use when speaking in the video: Make sure to do research on how cells are being used to help solve medical problems or issues today – and check your information with me. THIS PAGE WILL BE SHARED WITH ME ON ONENOTE.
