Lesson 1 Chapter 4 Prokaryotic Cells
Aim
Students will review important contributions to our knowledge of the cell
Objectives
- Hooke, van Leeuwenhoek, Schleiden, Schwann, Virchow
& Activities
- list the three parts of the cell theory
Explain concept of “cell size” compare surface area and volume ratios
Assess Label and define function of cell parts on prokaryotic diagram
Challenge
- list advantage and disadvantages of this cell type
Question Why have prokaryotic cells persisted throughout evolution?
Homework Continue cell parts review, use Powerpoint and text
Lesson 2 Ch. 4 Eukaryotic Cells
Aim How do eukaryotic cells differ from prokaryotic?
Objectives Students will watch short video “Cells, the Building Blocks of Life”
& Activities
- continue chapter guide – eukaryotic cells, major organelles
- nucleus, envelope, pores, chromosomes, RER, SER, Golgi, lysosomes
Assess Identify function of each organelle, label on diagrams
Challenge How are eukaryotic cells more advanced than prokaryotic?
Homework Review cell parts, use text and chapter guide
Lesson 3 Ch. 4 Eukaryotic Organelles
Aim What is the function of each organelle in plant and animal cells?
Objectives Students will complete study guide on cellular organelles
& Activities
- practice: identify cell parts in drawings and micrographs
- Identify function of each part and other important features
Assess Complete graphic organizer comparing two kinds of cells
Challenge How do all the different parts in a tiny cell stay organized?
Homework Read pp. 64-66 cytoskeleton and cell junctions
Lesson 4 Lab 6: Looking at cells
Aim How do cells in various organisms differ? How are they alike?
Objectives Students will make wet mounts of cheek epithelium and three plant specimens:
&Activities Elodea (pond weed), onion, and potato
- Identify structures visible with and without stain
- Cheek cell (cell membrane, nucleus), Elodea (cell wall, chloroplast),
potato (leucoplast/starch, cell wall), onion (nucleus, nucleolus)
Assess Draw and measure cells, label cell parts on a variety of specimens
Challenge Why are eukaryotic cells compartmentalized?
Homework Finish lab conclusion and error statements
