Notebook checks

2. Today’s Checklist Staple Unit 2 objectives into your notebook
Pre-assessment (~15 min)
When completed, it goes into the pink bin
Guided text walk activity with a partner
MEANWHILE I will be doing notebook checks
All work on separate pieces of paper should be turned in via the pink bin
HW = finish classwork and answer questions (6) at end of 7-1 reading

3. Guided Reading Each student needs a book
Working in partners, you will do a guided text walk
This information should set the stage for our next unit
While you’re working, I will be doing notebook checks
If you have questions, try to solve the issue with your neighbors before asking me
OBJECTIVES
Gain an introductory understanding of cells through a guided reading activity.

4. Tuesday 27 September Topic: Microscope Lab
DO NOW
Take a textbook and turn to page 1070
On the provided diagram of the microscope, label all parts with a leader line.
OBJECTIVES
Use a light microscope in order to view a specimen under 3 levels of magnification and correctly identify all parts of the microscope by completing a lab on observing prepared fiber samples.
HW:
Create a vocabulary list in your notebook of all the microscope parts, including their functions (page 1070)
AGENDA
Introduction to the light microscope
Lab protocol
Microscope lab!

5. Eyepiece Nosepiece Arm Objective lenses Stage clips Coarse focus Stage
Fine focus
Diaphragm
Light
Power switch
Base
OBJECTIVES
Use a light microscope in order to view a specimen under 3 levels of magnification and correctly identify all parts of the microscope by completing a lab on observing prepared fiber samples.

6. Lab Protocol
Stay at your assigned table and get materials/equipment only when instructed
Use the equipment in the manner intended, follow all directions
5 minutes before the bell, put away all supplies and clean up your entire lab table
MESSY TABLES WILL RESULT IN POINT DEDUCTIONS
OBJECTIVES
Use a light microscope in order to view a specimen under 3 levels of magnification and correctly identify all parts of the microscope by completing a lab on observing prepared fiber samples.

7. Microscope Protocol
ALWAYS support the microscope from underneath – do NOT carry it only by the neck!
Be mindful of keeping the light on when the microscope is not in use.
When on the highest power magnification, use ONLY the fine adjustment
OBJECTIVES
Use a light microscope in order to view a specimen under 3 levels of magnification and correctly identify all parts of the microscope by completing a lab on observing prepared fiber samples.

8. LAB SEATS

9. Microscope lab
You have the remainder of the double block to complete the entire activity
If you cannot finish, it is your responsibility to finish the lab during office hours afterschool on either Tuesday or Thursday
OBJECTIVES
Use a light microscope in order to view a specimen under 3 levels of magnification and correctly identify all parts of the microscope by completing a lab on observing prepared fiber samples.

10. Thursday 29 September Topic: What are Cells?
OBJECTIVES
Describe 3 components that all cells share.
DO NOW
Write down at least 3 detailed observations about the image.
HW:
REVISION!
Complete the cell chart as best you can
AGENDA
Introduction to cells

11. First image of cells ever!
Observations:
-black and white
-cracks, not smooth
-resembles cell
-scale like
-tight junctions
-different sized shapes
-cell wall
-resembles bricks
OBJECTIVES
Describe 3 components that all cells share.

12. STOP & JOT: take 1 minute to write…
What is ONE similarity among all these pictures?
OBJECTIVES
Describe 3 components that all cells share.

13. What makes a cell? 3 things that ALL cells have:
Cell membrane (barrier) protection, what enters and exits the cell
Genetic material (info) identification (unique to organisms), instructions to make proteins
Cytoplasm (fluid) allows materials to move around more easily
OBJECTIVES
Describe 3 components that all cells share.

14. Cell membrane DNA Cytoplasm
Sketch both cells in your notebook. Label which is eukaryotic and prokaryotic.
Cell membrane
DNA
Prokaryote
Cytoplasm
Eukaryote
(DNA floating in cytoplasm)
(DNA inside the nucleus)
OBJECTIVES
Describe 3 components that all cells share.

15. The Cell Theory All living things are made of cells
Unicellular Organisms (one-celled)
Multicellular Organisms (many cells)
OBJECTIVES
Describe 3 components that all cells share.

16. The Cell Theory
Cells give an organism its structure and function - they control everything the organism need to do to stay alive
Even the most complex organisms are made of
a bunch of different types
of cells working together.
OBJECTIVES
Describe 3 components that all cells share.

17. The Cell Theory All cells come from pre-existing cells.
Prokaryotic cells reproduce by splitting in half – binary fission
Eukaryotic cells reproduce by mitosis
OBJECTIVES
Describe 3 components that all cells share.

18. Exit ticket:
If all cells come from pre-existing cells, how do you suppose the first cell came about?
OBJECTIVES
Describe 3 components that all cells share.

19. Friday 30 September Topic: Organelles!
DO NOW
Find your organelle label at the lab benches and sit ACROSS from your organelle buddy
Take out your Organelle Summary (last night’s HW)
OBJECTIVES
Identify the major organelles in a eukaryotic cell
Explain the functions of the major organelles in a eukaryotic cell
