COMMON FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT PLANNING TEMPLATE
--FIRST DRAFT-Grade Level or Course: 7th grade science
Authors: Tom Stanford, Glenda Charles
Assessment Topic: Cells & Cell Processes
Selected Power Standards: List standards by number and include the full text
here. Then “unwrap” to identify what students need to know and be able to do.
Underline the concepts (important nouns or noun phrases) and circle the skills
(verbs).
C15: Describe the basic structure of an animal cell, including the nucleus,
cytoplasm, mitochondria and cell membrane and how they function to
support life.
CINQ10: Communicate about science in different formats, using relevant
science vocabulary, supporting evidence and clear logic.
GLE’s
1. Compare and contrast living organisms that are single
celled with multicellular organisms.
2. Illustrate and describe in writing the structure and the
function of the cell membrane, cytoplasm, mitochondria
and nucleus in an animal cell.
3. Explain how the structure and function of multicellular
organisms is dependent on the interaction of cells, tissues,
organs and organ systems.

Big Ideas from “Unwrapped” Power Standards
1. All organisms are composed of one or more cells; each cell
carries on life-sustaining functions. Multi-cellular organisms
need specialized structures and systems to perform basic life
functions.
2. All cells come from other cells and they hold the genetic
information needed for cell division and growth. When a body
cell reaches a certain size, it divides into tow cells, each of
which contains identical genetic information.
3. The cell is filled with a fluid called cytoplasm; cells contain
discrete membrane-enclosed structures called organelles.
Particles in a cell move from an area of high concentration to an
area of low concentration; this is known as passive transport.

Essential Questions Matched to Big Ideas
1. How does the nucleus control the cell’s activities? What are
some advantages of being multi-cellular?
2. What information do cells contain?
3. How do cells take in and expel large particles?
