ADV. SCIENCE
WEEK OF SEPT. 28TH –OCT. 2ND
Monday, Sept. 28th
COS: 1b-Organism’s impact on the environment 65a-Photosynthesis and Cellular
Respiration
Learning Target: I can identify the products and reactants of photosynthesis and
cellular respiraton
Bell Ringer: Students will name the reactants and products of photosynthesis and
Cellular respiration. They will also describe how each reactant gets into the
producer and consumer.
Before: Teacher will over the answers to the bell ringer to check for student
understanding.
During: Students will finish watching the Lion King and identifying the parts of an
ecosystem
After: Students will take an exit slip quiz on photosynthesis and cellular
respiration.
Assessment: exit slip quiz and Lion King worksheet.
Tuesday, Sept. 29th
COS: 1b-Organism’s Impact on the Environment 5a-Photosynthesis and Cellular
Respiration 7b-Energy Flow through the Ecosystem
Learning Target: I can review the parts of a food chain and ecosystem
Bell ringer: Students will view a food chain on the board and identify producers,
and different types of consumers.
Before: Teacher will review the answers to the bell ringer and check for
understanding.
During: Half of students will copy study outline for test. And, other half will finish
their power point on their ecosystem
After: Students will switch roles and complete their power points and copying their
study outlines.
Assessment: none.
Wed, Sept. 30th
COS: 1b-Organism’s Impact on the Environment 5a-Photosynthesis and Cellular
Respiration 7b-Energy Flow through the Ecosystem
Learning Target: I can identify the parts of an ecosystem and food chain in various
ecosystems from students power point presentations.
Bell ringer: Students will explain why their cannot be many top end consumers in an
ecosystem.
Before: Teacher will check for understanding and go over answers to bell ringer.
During: Students will present their power point presentation on their ecosystem
After: Students will vote for the best presentation.
Assessment: Student power point presentation on the ecosystem of their choice.
Thursday, Oct. 1st
COS: 3a-Organization of the Human Body 6-Variation within species 8Chromosomes 8a-Genes and Genetic Traits 10-DNA and RNA
Learning Target: I can identify the parts of a DNA strand
Bell Ringer: Students will list the parts of a DNA strand
Before: Teacher will check for understanding by going over the answers to the bell
ringer
During: Teacher will present the parts of a DNA strand and label the parts
After: Students will begin to draw the parts of a DNA strand and label the parts.
Assessment: Drawing of DNA strand
Friday, Oct. 2nd
COS: 3a-Organization of the Human Body 6-Variation within a species 8Chromosomes 8a-Genes and Genetic Traits 10-DNA and RNA
Learning Target: I can identify the parts of a food chain and food web. I can also
name the products and reactants in photosynthesis and cellular respiration on a
summative assessment.
Bell ringer: Students will prepare their papers for their test.
Before: Teacher will pass out test and give directions.
During: Students will take test on food chain, food webs, energy pyramids, and
photosynthesis/cellular respiration
After: Students will watch a short video clip on parts of DNA and RNA.
Assessment: test.
