CAMP Biology Prep
Unit 2: Cell Structure & Function & Viruses (4A, 4B, 4C)
9/11/12 – 9/25/26
Enduring Understandings
(s)/goals:
EU1: Identify cells as the
basic structure of all living
things.
Stage 1 – Desired Results
Essential Question(s):
Student outcomes (objective):
EQ1: How do we know that
there are differences
between plants, animals and
other organisms?
4A Compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic
cells.
ELPS: 2D monitor understanding of spoke language during
EQ2: What do these
classroom instruction and interactions and seek clarification
differences suggest about the as needed
cells function?
EU2: Cells have specialized
parts that perform specific
functions such as transporting
molecules, synthesizing
molecules, converting energy,
and maintain homeostasis.
EQ2: How are molecules
transported within a cell?
EU3: Compare viruses to
cells, describe viral
reproduction, and describe
the role of viruses in causing
diseases.
EQ4: Is a virus living or
nonliving?
EQ3: Which process is most
important for keeping an
organism balanced and
healthy?
4B Investigate and explain cellular processes including
homeostasis, energy conversions, transport of
molecules, and synthesis of new molecules.
4C Compare the structure of viruses to cells, describe
viral reproduction, and describe the role of viruses in
causing diseases, such as human immunodeficiency
virus (HIV) and influenza.
EQ5: How can viruses make
a person sick?
Stage 2 – Assessment Evidence
Performance Task(s) and Other Evidence:

4C
Viruses vs Cells Concept Map
Stage 3 – Learning Plan
DIFFERENTIATION
SCAFFOLD: Students learn organelles first, and then which cells have similar organelles. Students understand how cell membranes allow water &
molecule to move in & out of cell. Students then compare structure & function of viruses to cells.
ACCELERATE: PREAP – plasma membrane hydrophobic & hydrophilic heads & tails, dialysis lab
GROUP: Intro to cells venn diagram activity, labs, review stations
ELPS: 2D monitor understanding of spoken language during classroom instruction and interactions and seek clarification as needed
