Agenda- Wed., Aug. 31, 2011

1. Test Corrections/Plant Sketch– 15 min

1. Reviewing the Test/Test Strategy– 20 min

1. Discuss Projects/Choose Topic – 5 min

2. Finish Yesterday’s Assignments – 25 min

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.

Test CorrectionsUse 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!!

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.

Test Strategy

1. Read the question only and cover up the answer choices.

2. Write down the first thought or answer that comes to your mind.

3. Read through all the answer choices and strike out the one’s that don’t match your first thought.

4. With the remaining answer choices, look for key words and underline them.

5. Choose the best answer based on logic and process of elimination.

Cell Projects1. 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.”

Cell Projects2. 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 functionthe differences between organellesthe similarities between organellesor 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.

Cell Projects3. 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.

4. Mini-Essay:Using the information that you’ve learned about

animal and plant cells, write a mini-essayThe essay must be at least three paragraphs,

and each paragraph must have at least five sentences.

Refer to the topics list in #2.

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.

Agenda- Thurs., Sept. 1, 2011

1. Review Animal Cell Organelles – 10 min

1. Sketch and Label the Animal Cell – 30 min

1. Begin Projects – 20 min

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.

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)o 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.

Tomorrow’s Mini-QuizRemember 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.
