Unit 2: Cell Structure & Function & Viruses (4A, 4B, 4C)

9/11/12 – 9/25/26

Stage 1 – Desired Results
Enduring Understandings (s)/goals: / Essential Question(s): / Student outcomes (objective):
EU1: Identify cells as the basic structure of all living things. / EQ1:How do we know that there are differences between plants, animals and other organisms?
EQ2: What do these differences suggest about the cells function? / 4A Compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
ELPS: 2D monitor understanding of spoke language during classroom instruction and interactions and seek clarification as needed
EU2:Cells have specialized parts that perform specific functions such as transporting molecules, synthesizing molecules, converting energy, and maintain homeostasis. / EQ2: How are molecules transported within a cell?
EQ3: Which process is most important for keeping an organism balanced and healthy? / 4B Investigate and explain cellular processes including homeostasis, energy conversions, transport of molecules, and synthesis of new molecules.
EU3: Compare viruses to cells, describe viral reproduction, and describe the role of viruses in causing diseases. / EQ4: Is a virus living or nonliving?
EQ5: How can viruses make a person sick? / 4C Compare the structure of viruses to cells, describe viral reproduction, and describe the role of viruses in causing diseases, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and influenza.
Stage 2 – Assessment Evidence
Performance Task(s) and Other Evidence:
Formative / SummativeUnit 2 Exam
4A / Cell Organelles Quiz Structures / (see attachment Answer Key Unit 2 Exam 4A,4B,4C)
4A / Prokaryote vs Eukaryote Venn Diagram
4B / Potato Lab
4B / Diffusion Worksheet
4C / Viruses vs Cells Concept Map
Stage 3 – Learning Plan
DIFFERENTIATION
SCAFFOLD:Students learn organelles first, and then which cells have similar organelles. Students understand how cell membranes allow water & molecule to move in & out of cell. Students then compare structure & function of viruses to cells.
ACCELERATE:PREAP – plasma membrane hydrophobic & hydrophilic heads & tails, dialysis lab
GROUP: Intro to cells venn diagram activity, labs, review stations
ELPS: 2D monitor understanding of spoken language during classroom instruction and interactions and seek clarification as needed
