The document outlines the agenda and objectives for a biology class. It includes instructions for students to correct a recent test, sketch and label diagrams of plant and animal cells, and choose a project topic related to cell structures and their functions. Students are expected to turn in sketches and notes identifying organelle functions for a mini-quiz the next day. Completing assignments from the previous day is also required.

1. Biology I Mr. Nettles

2. Agenda- Wed., Aug. 31, 2011 Test Corrections/Plant Sketch– 15 min Reviewing the Test/Test Strategy– 20 min Discuss Projects/Choose Topic – 5 min Finish Yesterday’s Assignments – 25 min

3. Today’s Objectives I will identify the organelles in plant and animal cells. I will articulate the function of organelles in plant and animal cells.

4. Test Corrections Use your notes to correct the problems that are marked incorrect on your test. You may work in groups or collaborate to make test corrections. Test corrections must be turned in NOW!! NO EXCEPTIONS!! By turning in test corrections, you will earn up to 10 percentage points to your score!!

5. Sketching the Plant Cell You will sketch a drawing of the plant cell on the next slide. You will label the following organelles: Vacuole, Mitochondria, Chloroplast, Ribosomes Golgi Apparatus, Endoplasmic Reticulum Plasma Membrane (same as Cell Membrane) Nucleus, Nucleolus, Cytoplasm Peroxisome (similar to a lysosome), Cell Wall On a separate sheet of paper, you will use your notes to create a chart, listing the function of each organelle.

7. Test Strategy Read the question only and cover up the answer choices. Write down the first thought or answer that comes to your mind. Read through all the answer choices and strike out the one’s that don’t match your first thought. With the remaining answer choices, look for key words and underline them. Choose the best answer based on logic and process of elimination.

8. Cell Projects Analogy Collage : Draw a typical plant or animal cell on a small (6" X 8") piece of drawing paper. Paste the drawing in the center of a large sheet of construction paper or a small poster. Draw pointers or arrows from the cell structures leading to pictures cut from magazines or newspapers. Write a functional analogy expressed in the your own words that describes the relationship between the picture and cell structure. For example : If you had an arrow pointing from the Golgi Apparatus to a picture of a UPS truck, your analogy could be written like this: “The Golgi Apparatus packages and transports organelles like UPS packages and transports computers for Dell.”

9. Cell Projects Rap or Song: Using the information that you’ve learned about animal and plant cells, create a rap or song. You can rap or sing about many topics including: an organelle and its function the differences between organelles the similarities between organelles or any other APPROVED topic Your rap or song must have at least two verses and a hook (or chorus). You can have more than two verses if you would like. I don’t won’t to limit your creativity. Raps and Songs cannot include any explicit lyrics. In other words, NO CURSING.

10. Cell Projects Poem: Using the information that you’ve learned about animal and plant cells, create a poem. Your poem must be at least be 10 lines (or verses). Refer to the topics list in #2. Mini-Essay: Using the information that you’ve learned about animal and plant cells, write a mini-essay The essay must be at least three paragraphs, and each paragraph must have at least five sentences. Refer to the topics list in #2.

11. ALL WORK from yesterday must be turned in no later than tomorrow and will serve as a mini-quiz grade!! This is meant to help you improve your overall quiz grade!! PLANT CELL and ANIMAL CELL sketches will be worth 25% of your mini-quiz grade for Friday!! TOMORROW will be dedicated to completing the ANIMAL CELL sketch and beginning your projects.

12. Biology I Mr. Nettles

13. Agenda- Thurs., Sept. 1, 2011 Review Animal Cell Organelles – 10 min Sketch and Label the Animal Cell – 30 min Begin Projects – 20 min

14. Today’s Objectives I will identify the organelles in plant and animal cells. I will articulate the function of organelles in plant and animal cells.

15. Sketching the Animal Cell You will sketch a drawing of the animal cell on the next slide. You will label the following organelles: Cell Membrane, Cytoplasm, Nucleus, Nucleolus Endoplasmic Reticulum (smooth and rough) Smooth ER = no ribosomes, Rough ER = has ribosomes Ribosomes (two locations = in the cytoplasm and on the rough ER) Golgi Body (also called Golgi Apparatus) Vacuole, Mitochondria, Lysosomes Centrosome (the centriole is a smaller part of the centrosome) On a separate sheet of paper, you will use your notes to create a chart, listing the function of each organelle.

17. Tomorrow’s Mini-Quiz Remember to study your sketches and charts for tomorrow’s Mini-Quiz!! You will turn in both sketches and charts tomorrow before your Mini-Quiz. These will be worth 25% of tomorrow’s quiz grade! You will be responsible for knowing the functions of all organelles within plant and animal cells. Remember that centrioles are only found in animal cells . Remember that the cell wall and chloroplasts are only found in plant cells .
