Lesson plans – CP Biology for the week starting 10/31/11
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
Objective
Students will
understand and be able
to explain the structure
and functions of cellular
organelles – Part 1
Students will
understand and be
able to explain the
structure and
functions of cellular
organelles – Part 2
Describe the structure
of the plasma
membrane. How odes it
differ from a
triglyceride?
In small groups
students will
investigate various cell
organelles using the
website cellsalive.com
as a starting point.
Students will fill in
work sheets related to
the organelles and then
share with the class
What happens to a
cell in a hypotonic
and hypertonic
solution?
Students will
understand and be
able to explain the
functions of the
cytoskeleton and
movement in the
cell
What organelle is
used for energy
production in
plant and animal
cells?
Students will
understand and be able
to explain how the
various aspects of the
cell are tied together
Do Now
Students will
understand and be
able to explain the
structure and
functions of
cellular organelles
– Part 3
Describe the main
types of passive
transport. How
does it differ from
active transport?
Students (in pairs)
will collects
images of objects
that represent
various organelles
and prepare a
poster of them for
plant and animal
cells
Technology
Laptops for Internet
research and notes
Laptops for Internet
research, on-line
activity and notes.
Digital microscope
and projector for
elodea demo
Assessment

Period #1 will spend
time discussing
Henrietta Lacks reading
Period 4/7 In small
groups students will
work on a chapter
assessment beginning
with the tour of the cell
though the
cytoskeleton.
Laptops for chapter
assessment questions.
