Stacey Six General Science 04/23/2012 Rappahannock High School 9-12, High School Essential Lesson Information Lesson Title: Gymnosperms & Angiosperms Notes Skill Mastery Objective: Students will be able to describe gymnosperms. Students will be able to describe angiosperms. Students will be able to identify different types of gymnosperms and angiosperms. Students will be able to compare and contrast gymnosperms and angiosperms. Essential Question: How do vascular plants differ? SOL Standard: BIO.5 The student will investigate and understand life functions of archaebacteria, monerans (eubacteria), protists, fungi, plants, and animals including humans. Key concepts include a) how their structures and functions vary between and within the kingdoms; b) comparison of their metabolic activities c) analyses of their responses to the environment; d) maintenance of homeostasis; Approximate Time Needed: 50 minutes Resources Print Materials: Warm-up wkst, gymnosperm/angiosperm notes, review wkst Supplies: Science binders, print materials Internet Resources: biology4kids.com Hardware: LCD projector, computer Software: MS PowerPoint Lesson Description Students will do a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge. Students will take notes on angiosperms. They will then complete a review worksheet Initial Assessment Students were initially assessed by observation and completion of unit activities.
