I. SETTING THE STAGE
HCPS III STANDARDS
Benchmark SC.7.4.2 Describe the basic structure and function of various types of cells
Benchmark SC.7.4.3 Describe the levels of organization in an organism
INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES
Condition
Performance
Criterion
(begin w/action verb)
To further understand specialized cell function and its role in organization, SWBAT explain what happens when cells work together and when tissues
work together
In order to learn about the levels of organization in an organism, SWBAT recount one type of tissue and one organ that their cell type has given rise
to
ANTICIPATORY SET (Warm-Up or Bell Work)
(Time ______5 mins_________)
Students will answer following journal prompt - > A tissue is a group or
mass of similar cells working together to perform a vital function. There
are 4 major types of tissue. What type of tissue do you think your cell
belongs to?
II. ACQUISITION
1. SAY (Explanation) (Time ______15
mins______)
Demo + PPT Overview (see Cell
Differentiation Demo handout and Tissues
and Organs PPT):
We will be performing another demonstration.
This will require participation from the heart
cell group. Following demo, teacher will do a
'guess what,' briefly introducing and explaining
4 primary tissue types. As you hear the

Cell Demos and Guess What!
Do Now – Partner and Jigsaw
Just for Fun
Journal Close
SEE (Modeling)
DO (Structured Practice)
Show students how they are expected to behave
as demo is acted out.
Work with students to perform demonstration
2. descriptions on each tissue type, I want you to
continue to reflect on your journal answer
regarding what type of tissue you think your
cell might give rise to. See if you can figure out
if your answer is correct. After this
introduction, we will be performing an
additional demo with the heart and skin cell
groups.
2. SAY (Explanation) (Time ______30
mins______)
SEE (Modeling)
DO (Structured Practice)
For the Do Now, you will partner will the same
person from yesterday and will be researching
what type of tissue your cell gives rise to. After
you have figured out what type of tissue your
cell gives rise to, research to find one organ that
is made from your tissue. Record your answer
and source in the designated area of your
graphic organizer (see PPT). Because this
answer is obvious for heart and skin cell
students, I would like these students to see if
they can come up with an organ other than heart
and skin. It may help to research the more
general "myocyte" and "epithelial cell."
Remind students of research tips and expected
behavior on the computers.
Observe students as they begin their work.
3. SAY (Explanation) (Time ______20
mins______)
SEE (Modeling)
DO (Structured Practice)
We will be performing a jigsaw so students can
learn about the tissues and organs formed from
different types of cells. Each group will have a
representative of each cell type. Teacher will
split students into groups. Present your findings
to your group and record the information
presented by other members of your group in
your GO (see PPT).
Remind students of jigsaw procedure.
Observe students as they share.
3. 5. SAY (Explanation) (Time ______5
mins______)
SEE (Modeling)
DO (Structured Practice)
After jigsaw, return to seats. Teacher will
present 2 examples of organs that have all 4 of
the major tissue types. Record in your GO.
Afterward, we will do a Just for Fun to see if
you can guess the tissue types in the picture.
III. CONSOLIDATION
GUIDED PRACTICE if applicable (Time _____________)
Monitor students to make sure they are extracting the necessary information from their website research and jigsaw.
FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT (Assessment of Learning) if applicable (Time _____________)
Graphic organizer, journal close
SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT (Assessment of Learning) if applicable (Time _____________)
N/A
CLOSURE if applicable (Time ______5_______)
Student will answer journal close questions which is their entrance slip
for following class. Students must at least write questions down so they
can answer for homework. If time permits, students can work on at end
of class and/or class can discuss.
1. What happens when cells work together?
2. What happens when tissues work together?
3. Name one tissue and one organ that your cell gives rise to.
MATERIALS: PPT, Computer Workstations, Graphic Organizer
INDEPENDENT PRACTICE if applicable
