BiologyDaily Lesson Plan
Day & Date: / Monday, August 31, 2015
Standard: / SB1: Students will analyze the nature of the relationship between structure and functions in living cells.
Element A: Explain the role of cells for both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, including the cell membrane.
Learning Goal: / Students will assess their understanding of cell theory, cell types, and organelles through a quiz.
Students will investigate the properties of the cell membrane.
Kickoff:(10 min.) / 3-2-1
  • Name the 3 parts of the cell theory
  • Give 2 examples of eukaryotic cells
  • Name 1 organelle that is in plant cells but NOT animal cells

Teaching Strategies: Procedures/Technology/
Performance Tasks: (40 min.) / Students will review the Cell Structure & Function Quizlet. Write down the terms they are struggling with. WGS (whole group share).
Quiz over cell theory, cell types, and organelles
Cell analogy activity…students read about a town & its businesses to make an analogy between the town & a cell. Teacher will preview reading with students. (OLC, students open in Note)
Educanon video on Cell Membrane. (Brandi) Students will TPS over the video. Then WGS.
Summarizing Strategy: Closing Activity:
( 5 min.) / Formative assessment: Socrative over cell membrane (5 questions) (JEN)
Assessment/Evaluation: / Teacher will analyze the Quiz for data to determine if material needs to be covered again.
Teacher will analyze data from Cell Membrane Socrative to assess understanding and revise plans if necessary.
Materials Needed: / iPad, Quizlet Set, Quiz, Cell analogy activity, Note app, Educanon Video, Socrative,

Day & Date: / Tuesday, September1, 2015
Standard: / SB1: Students will analyze the nature of the relationship between structure and functions in living cells.
Element A: Explain the role of cells for both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, including the cell membrane.
Learning Goal: / Students will investigate the properties of the cell membrane.
Kickoff:(10 min.) / Students will use what they know about the structure & function of the cell membrane and create an analogy, or comparison, between the cell membrane and a real world example.
Teaching Strategies: Procedures/Technology/
Performance Tasks: (40 min.) / Discuss the properties of the cell membrane. Teacher will use Cell Membrane presentation.Students will complete guided notes (OLC, students will open in Note). Teacher will assess students’ understanding with Socrative Quick Questions throughout the lecture.
Students will watch Fluid Mosaic Model of the Cell Membrane video. TPS…watch the video & answer the following questions…then discuss their answers with their partner, then have a WGS.
Summarizing Strategy:
(5 min.) / TOD: Draw a picture of the cell membrane and label the following: phospholipid, hydrophyllic head, and hydrophobic tail.
Assessment/Evaluation: / Socrative Quick Questions
Materials Needed: / iPad, Cell Membrane presentation, Note app, Guided notes
Biology Daily Lesson Plan
Day & Date: / Wednesday, September 2, 2015
Standard: / SB1: Students will analyze the nature of the relationship between structure and functions in living cells.
(A): Explain the role of cells for both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, including the cell membrane, in maintaining homeostasis. (D): Explain the impact of water on life processes (i.e., osmosis, diffusion).
Learning Goal: / Students will distinguish the difference between active and passive transport.
Kickoff:(10 min.) / List 3 properties of the cell membrane.
Teaching Strategies: Procedures/Technology/
Performance Tasks: (40 min.) / Using iBrainstorm, students will brainstorm about active & passive transport. They will use a Venn Diagram and yellow colored sticky notes to record what they think active & passive transport are. TPS. Students will then research the two types of cell transport using Google, a YouTube video, and a PowerPoint on the OLC. They will record what they learn on a different colored sticky note. TPS.
Students will then color and label a diagram of the cell membrane that shows all of the structures involved in cell transport.
Summarizing Strategy:
(5 min.) / Students will write 3-5 sentences explaining the similarities and differences between active and passive transport.
Assessment/Evaluation: / Thumbs up/Thumbs down while students are working on Venn Diagram.
Summarizer.
Materials Needed: / iPad, iBrainstorm, Cell Transport YouTube video, Cell Transport PowerPoint, Cell Membrane Color Page
