1. Monday 3 October
Topic: A day in the life of a cell
DO NOW OBJECTIVE
 What comes to mind when you hear Explain how at least 5 cell
the word ‘protein?’ Describe what organelles work together to
functions you think they have in the
body. Why do you think they’re make and use proteins in your
necessary in a healthy body? body
TURN IN:
• 2 sheets – one of labeled cell parts, and one is the table of all the
organelle functions
HW:
Rough draft due Wednesday: Detailed AGENDA

separate paper)
Describe how the organelles in a cell work • You will get a ‘script’ afterwards
together to make and use proteins. Include at which, combined with your
least 5 different organelles in your essay. notes, is all you need for the hw

Topic: A day in the life of a cell
DO NOW OBJECTIVE
 Where is DNA located and why? Explain how at least 5 cell
 How do ribosomes get their building organelles work together to
information? make and use proteins in your
 What contribution to protein production body (cont)
does the ER (endoplasmic reticulum) play?

6. Cell analogies
 With a partner, you are to come up with analogies for a
minimum of 4 organelles of your choice
 These analogies must compare the function of the organelle
to a part of a city
 E.g. a vesicle is like a mail truck because it picks up materials to
deliver
 You and your partner should write your analogy on the
appropriate poster
 Most creative wins!
OBJECTIVE
Explain how at least 5 cell organelles work together to make and use proteins in your body (cont)

7.  Nucleus  Vacuole
 Endoplasmic reticulum  Lysosome
 Ribosome  Cell membrane
 Golgi body  Cytoplasm
 Mitochondrion  Cell wall
 Vesicle  Chloroplast
OBJECTIVE
Explain how at least 5 cell organelles work together to make and use proteins in your body (cont)

8. Friday 7 October
Topic: Cells Under the Microscope
DO NOW
OBJECTIVE
 Complete the pre-lab questions
Identify various cells and cell
components by creating wet
mount slides from different
organisms.
HW:
• Complete lab analysis questions
AGENDA
• Detailed paragraph (typed or neatly • Review lab protocol
written on separate paper), describeing
how the organelles in a cell work together to • Cells under the microscope
make and use proteins. Include at least 5 • TURN IN LAB BEFORE YOU
different organelles in your essay.
LEAVE

9. Lab Protocol
 It is imperative that you stay AT your lab table and RAISE
YOUR HAND for permission to move about the room
 This means roaming around for ANY REASON
 You get one roaming warning then the next offense is a blue slip
 Lab materials are to be used for the purpose written in the
lab report ONLY
 ANY misuse of lab materials is an automatic blue slip, no
questions asked

10. Lab Protocol
 Today you are observing animals cells (your own cheek cells)
and plant cells (Elodea leaflets)
 The ENTIRE lab is written step by step – do everything in
order so you don’t get lost/confused!
 Your lab is to be completed (with analysis questions) and
turned in TODAY
 If you don’t complete the lab, you must finish afterschool
during office hours
