2. STANDARDS AND LEARNING GOALS
GA: Grade 7 Life Science
GA: Grade 7
Life Science
S7L2. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to describe how cell structures, cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems interact to maintain the basic needs of organisms.
a. Develop a model and construct an explanation of how cell structures (specifically the nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, cell wall, chloroplasts, lysosome, and mitochondria) contribute to the function of the cell as a system in obtaining nutrients in order to grow, reproduce, make needed materials, and process waste. Show details
b. Develop and use a conceptual model of how cells are organized into tissues, tissues into organs, organs into systems, and systems into organisms.

3. INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES- (WORK SESSION)

4. STUDENT WORK
Unit : Cell structures and functions
S7L2a
I can identify and define the internal structures of a cell.
I can differentiate between a plant and animal cell.
I can identify the function of cellular organelles.
I can compare and contrast cell structures.
I can predict what would happen if a cell did not contain a given structure.
I can develop a model of a cell structure
S7L2b
I can explain the levels of organization for living organisms
THE USE OF CELL PHONES TO PLAY GAMES, READ TEXT MESSAGES, AND ANY OTHER PERSONAL USE IS A VIOLATION OF RCBOE APPROVED USE POLICY. PARENTS PLEASE CHECK YOUR CHILDS HISTORY OF USE ON THE CELLPHONE TO SEE WHEN IT IS BEING USED. THIS BEHAVIOR IS CAUSING STUDENTS TO MISS LESSONS AND MAY RESULT IN FAILING GRADES.

5. ASSESSMENTS/RUBRICS 1. Pre and Post quiz results on lessons.
2. Evaluation of VOCABULARY worksheets in class.
