AGENDAS FOR THE WEEK: Feb 19 – Feb 23
MONDAY & TUESDAY WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY
Objective(s): SWBAT
*Describe the functions of cell organelles
*Differentiate between plant and animal cells
* *
CCSS/NGSSS: SC.912.L.14.1: Describe the
scientific theory of cells (cell theory) and relate
the history of its discovery to the process of
science.
SC.912.L.14.2: Relate structure to function for
the components of plant and animal cells. Explain
the role of cell membranes as a highly
selective barrier (passive and active transport).
Engage: Recall plant vs. Animal cells. Remind of
analogy with factory. (elicit prior knowledge) (5
P min)
Explore
L Explain: Create own analogies of cell organelles
with larger systems, create on Google Slides
presentation (relevant phenomena) (45 min)
Present to class. Class discusses presentation, ask
questions, ask for clarification. (50 min)

FRIDAY
Objective(s): SWBAT
*Explain the role of the cell membrane as a
selectively permeable membrane.
*Describe passive diffusion and osmosis
*
CCSS/NGSSS: SC.912.L.14.1: Describe the
scientific theory of cells (cell theory) and relate

SC.912.L.14.2: Relate structure to function for
the components of plant and animal cells.
Explain the role of cell membranes as a highly
selective barrier (passive and active transport).
Engage: Recall previous unit on cell structure
and function. Concentrate on the cell membrane.
Discuss selective permeability. Ask why the cell
would need to be selectively permeable. What
substances can and cannot pass through? (elicit
prior knowledge) (10 min)
Explore: Dialysis tubing lab (motivation,
relevant phenomena, evidence to critique claims)
(30 min) (Half class will do lab first, other half
will learn about active transport from study.com
lesson)
Explain: Cover lab results. Have discussion
about results. Ask what results mean, how it
shows movement of substances across
membrane, have students conference with other
groups to discuss results, craft an explanation
(sense-making, evidence to critique claims) (20
min)
 Evaluate and Summary: Go over microscope Evaluate and Summary: Kahoot review before Evaluate and Summary
labs. Show ideal examples to students. (10-15 assessment. (30-40 min)

N min) Summative assessment on prokaryotic vs.

eukaryotic cells and plant vs. animal cells (20-30
min)

Resources: Assessment given on Canvas, Kahoot review Lab handout of own conception.
