Amanda Marbury
Unit Title:
The Cell
Photosynthesis
Reading Strategies:
- Students will be reading a scientific article and finding the main ideas and important information.
- Students will be using the Frayer model to define 2 vocabulary words they do not know.
- Students will read a packet on cellular respiration and photosynthesis and answer comprehensive questions based on the text.
Writing Strategies:
- Students will have to write a paragraph explaining the author’s main idea, purpose, and audience for the article we are reading.
- Students will write a lab report on the egg osmosis lab to summarize their findings.
- Students will write a comparison between a plant and animal cell based on what they see under the microscope.
Flipped Classroom Method (Optional) Explain how instruction will occur at home.

Pre/work or bell ringer?
Students will read a scientific article and underline the main ideas as well as take notes on anything that is important or anything they may have questions on.
Daily Activities (include reading and writing activities):
- The students will complete day 1 of an osmosis egg lab to view the process of osmosis first hand.
- The teacher will lecture on active transport.
- The students will complete osmosis practice problems.
How will this lesson connect to the next day’s lesson?
Students are preparing their egg for the osmosis lab that will continue for several days.
Pre/work or bell ringer?
The students will pick two words they are unsure of the definition and draw out the
Frayer model to come up with the definition through context clues.

Daily Activities (include reading and writing activities):
- The students will complete day 2 of their egg lab.
- The teacher will lecture on the parts of the microscope.
- The students will complete a review sheet on the proper use and handling of a microscope.
How will this lesson connect to the next day’s lesson?
The students will need to know how to use a microscope in order to use it correctly tomorrow.
Pre/work or bell ringer?
The student will write a summary paragraph from the article. They will be sure to include the audience and the purpose.
Daily Activities (include reading and writing activities):
- The students will perform day 3 of the egg lab.
- The students will look a several samples in the microscope and draw comparisons between plant and animal cells.
- The students will write a lab report of the osmosis lab.
How will this lesson connect to the next day’s lesson?
Students are looking microscopically at the difference between plant and animal cells in order to see how they obtain energy.
Pre/work or bell ringer?
The students will take a quiz on the article to make sure they comprehended the material.
Daily Activities (include reading and writing activities):
- The students will take a quiz on the microscopes
- The students will complete a reading packet on photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
How will this lesson connect to the next day’s lesson?
