AGENDAS FOR THE WEEK: Feb12 – Feb 16
MONDAY TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY
Objective(s): SWBAT
* Describe the three components of cell theory
*Differentiate between eukaryotic and
prokaryotic cells
* CCSS/NGSSS: SC.912.L.14.1: Describe the
CCSS/NGSSS: SC.912.L.14.1: Describe the
scientific theory of cells (cell theory) and relate
the history of its discovery to the process of
science.
SC.912.L.14.2: Relate structure to function for
the components of plant and animal cells. Explain
the role of cell membranes as a highly
selective barrier (passive and active transport).
Engage: Ask students what a cell is. Probing
questions from there. (e.g. “Are they alive? How
P
do you know? What does it mean to be alive?
What are they made of? What do they look like?
What things are made of cells?” (5-10 minutes)
(Motivation, hopefully, and eliciting prior
knowledge)
Explore: Compare and contrast prokaryotic and
eukaryotic cells. Class discussion while
L comparing (20 min)
Explain: Venn diagram comparing prokaryotic
and eukaryotic cells. (25 min)
Presentation to fill out diagram more (10 min)
TedEd video: Wacky History of Cell Theory,
timeline (10 min)
A Elaborate
Evaluate and Summary: Self-assessment and
vocab cards (20 minutes)
N Small formative assessment (possibly Look Back
or Point of Most Significance) (5 min)
THURSDAY & FRIDAY
Objective(s): SWBAT

*Describe the functions of eukaryotic organelles
* *
scientific theory of cells (cell theory) and relate the
history of its discovery to the process of science.

assessment (5 min)
