Homework:
SS Retake Advisory 10/17 or Before School 10/18

5. Animal Title Page ½ page write “Animals Unit”
½ page write “Academic Goal”
After your animal pretest experience…..
What do you want to find out about?
What do you want to learn?
What questions do you have?
NOTE: Next few pages will be for opening activities

6. Child Growing Video video of puppies growing
Have students watch a time-lapse video of a child growing.
Use the link in slide 3 of the 1.2 Expressing Ideas about How Animals Grow PPT (or above) to have your students observe a child growing.
You may want to use just the first minute.
video of puppies growing

7. Expressing Your Ideas
Use this tool to record your ideas about how you think Christian Bale transformed his body for different roles. Or you may simply think how he has grown from a small boy to an adult man to play different roles.
It’s okay if you don’t know the “right answer” at this point!
Students complete the Expressing Ideas Tool on their own.
Show slide 4 of the 1.2 Expressing Ideas about How Animals Grow PPT.
Tell students that now they will take a few minutes to think and record their ideas about what happens when animals grow on their own.
Give each student one copy of 1.2 Expressing Ideas Tool for Animals Growing.
Give students about 5 minutes to complete the tool as individuals.
Encourage students to think about things they have seen in the world to help inform their ideas.

8. Sharing your ideas….
Work in groups of 2 to exchange ideas and gather more information to add to your ideas.
In your large group have a go-around so all ideas and questions have been heard.
Make two sticky notes of your table discussions:
Group idea
Group question
3. Put your sticky notes on the class initial ideas sheet.

9. What Happens When Animals Grow?
Your ideas:
Your questions:
Post ideas for class discussion.
Tell students that now that they have had a chance to write their ideas as individuals and as pairs, it is important to look at the range of ideas in the class. Again, at this point, do not correct any wrong ideas. Treat this as brainstorming: all ideas are on the table.
Show slide 6 of the 1.2 Expressing Ideas about How Animals Grow PPT.
Give each pair 2 sticky notes.
Tell students to write their most important idea from their Expressing Ideas Tools on a sticky note and put it on the board under the “Your Ideas” column.
Tell students to write their most important question from their Expressing Ideas Tools on a sticky note and put it on the board under the “Your Questions” column.

10. Discussing Our Ideas Your ideas: Your questions: Class discussion
Lead a whole class discussion to examine the variety of student ideas and questions on the poster. Draw out and press students to build on their ideas about what happens to the food that the child eat and what happens to the air that the child breathes in relation to growth, movement, and functioning. Use the talk and writing moves at the beginning of this lesson to help with facilitating the class discussion – see the Notes part of the slide.
Show slide 7 of the 1.2 Expressing Ideas about How Animals Grow PPT. Note that this slide is a duplicate of the previous one but with a new heading. Take this time to discuss students’ ideas, organize them according to patterns, etc.
Later, you can use this duplicate slide as a record of class ideas for the future, either by saving the post-it notes or by taking a picture of them.

11. Reading Read the “Animals Storyline Reading” with a partner.
Stop at the italicized questions and talk about them with your partner.
After, you will have a chance to share your ideas with the rest of the class.
Students read the Animals Storyline Reading
Show slide 8 of the 1.2 Expressing Ideas about How Animals Grow PPT. Have students partner-read the 1.2 Animals Storyline Reading which explains the storyline of the unit and connects it to the work of scientist Hans Krebs.
As students read with a partner, have them stop and discuss the italicized questions in the reading with their partner.
After pairs are finished reading, have students share with the class what they found interesting and any questions they have.

12. Save for later
Later, you will compare your ideas from today to your predictions and explanations.
Save the Expressing Ideas Tools for later.
Show slide 9 of the 1.2 Expressing Ideas about How Animals Grow PPT.
Tell students that they will revisit these ideas later in the unit to see how their thinking changes.
The class can also return to shared ideas on Slide 7.

13. Opening Activity: Oct. 11, 2017
If your NB has been graded it is on the notebook shelf by your class period.
Review your initial ideas from yesterday, is your handout complete? If not, please complete. I will stamp today during out lab.
Find Lab #4 at your table. Create a new page and write:
Lab #4 Animal Cells
What do animal cells look like?
What structures are present in animal cells?
I can… Identify and describe animal cells
Homework:
SS Retake Advisory 10/17 or Before School 10/18

14. Lab # 4 Animal Cells Question: Today’s Goals:
What do animal cells look like?
What structures are present in animal cells to perform cellular functions?
Today’s Goals:
1. Sketch cheek cells at high & med power.
Sketch a second animal cell at low and medium power.
Use Insights Biology textbook page 102 or 352 to determine visible structures of your cells and complete first column on #3.

15. Clean up….
Be sure microscopes are on the “tape” away from the edge. You do NOT need to put cover on.
Be sure your iodine slide goes into the alcohol solution.
Toothpicks in garbage!

16. Opening Activity: Oct 12, 2017
On medium or high power, what parts of a cell do you think might be visible?
What do you think is going on inside the cells?
What do the cells need to do that (your answer above)?
