During this unit you will guide the pace of your own learning! This self-guided unit will give you the opportunity to spend more time and get individual help on the things that you need help on. You will have videos to watch, notes to take, activities and labs to complete, biology notebook entries, and a graphing question. There are check points along the way to let you know when you are ready to move on to the next step.
Unit Overview:
Each of the items below will count as a grade. LT’s are test items, PT’s are products that will need to be completed and turned in .
LT 3.1 – I can explain the three parts of the cell theory and compare and contrast different cell types
(prokaryotes, eukaryotes, plant, and animal cells).
LT 3.2 – I can describe the structure and function of the parts of a typical eukaryotic cell.
LT 3.3 – I can illustrate how cell organelles work together to produce, process and package proteins for use by the cell and for export
LT 3.4 – I can describe the structures involved in cell structure and movement (flagella, cilia, pseudopodia).
PT3.1 – Graphing
PT 3.3 – Laboratory investigation
PT 3.3 – Cell analogy project
PT 3.4 - 4 Notebook writing entries (cell basics, cell organelles and their functions, protein production, cell structure and movement)
PT 3.5 – Cytoskeleton and Reproduction Case Study
All students will need to complete all tests and assignments by Friday October 30!
Handouts: Along the way, I will provide copies of each assignment. Look on the front counter, or see me as you are ready for the next activity or assignment.
Videos: You may use your electronic device to watch videos. If you do not have access to an electronic device, you may watch with a friend, borrow from a friend, watch from my computer, or watch from other devices that I may have available in the room.
Quizzes: You must show me your work for the section in order to obtain the quiz for that section. If you do not do well on the quiz, remediation activities may be assigned.
Review and Test: We will have a whole class review day on Oct. 29 and the unit test on Oct 30. If you are ready for the test before this date, see me and you can test early. This will give you the opportunity to complete retest of material after remediation while we are still on this unit or work on extension activities.
