Specialized Support Biology Scope and Sequence 2nd Nine Weeks Period Units of Study: Energy Conversions and Nucleic Acids Essential Questions / Desired Outcomes 1. What are the different parts of a plant? 2. How do plants grow in different environments? 3. How does the flow of energy move through a food chain? 4. How do plants make and use energy? 5. How can the parts of the cells be compared to real life systems/units? 6. Why do we look different? 7. How are cells involved with our characteristics? 8. How does cancer affect people? 9. How does cancer form? 10. How can you help others? 11. What is the structure and function of DNA? 12. How is the process of mitosis different from the process of meiosis? 13. How is the genetic code common to all organisms? 14. What can we learn by studying DNA? Classroom Elements (part of every ALE Biology classroom district wide) Use this timeline as a guide. Implement the elements on the chart by the weeks indicated, but no later than. Your students’ progress and readiness should determine if things could begin sooner. Group 1 Energy: Photosynthesis & Respiration Group 2 Nucleic Acids: DNA & Cell Cycle Group 3 Nucleic Acids: Protein Synthesis • Define energy transfer • Describe how plants are similar to us and need specific things to survive • Explain photosynthesis • Explain Respiration • Examine roots, stems, and leaves of plants • Analyze the structure of DNA • Describe the components of DNA • Illustrate how information specifying the traits of an organism is carried on DNA • Describe the roles of DNA and RNA • Identify diseases that come from disruptions of the cell cycle such as cancer • Identify the cell cycle • Describe the process of mitosis • Analyze how life is based on the same genetic code. • Identify the two different types of traits. • Explain the processes of transcription and translation • Describe a gene • Identify the components of that make up the genetic code North East Independent School District Specialized Support Biology Scope and Sequence Key Vocabulary Terms respiration, photosynthesis, energy, homeostasis, synthesis, molecules, energy transfer heredity, sexual reproduction, asexual reproduction, traits, genes, organelle, ribosomes, DNA, RNA, mitosis Stations Procedures to teach, model & implement: § Visual tools/systems to organize student rotation § Care and use of materials § Self-managing behaviors § How to request assistance § How to share materials § Clean-up and storage § Sharing of accomplishments Key stations to implement: § Writing Station: journaling, graphing, webbing, illustrating, projects § Literacy Station: books, books on tape, vocabulary development, Book Worm, Step by Step, Big Mack § Experiment Station: manipulative activities, lab, § Computer Station: web links, Start-to-Finish books, United Streaming Video, PowerPoint, web quest § Independent Station: structured activities, extension activities genetics, reproduction, inheritance, allele, dominant, recessive, trait, heredity, asexual, sexual, phenotype, genotype, punnett square, Gregor Mendel, Frances Crick, James Watson, Guanine, Thymine, Cytosine, Adenine, proteins, molecule, nucleotide, bases, phosphate, helix, deoxyribose sugar, inherited, generation, purine, pyrimidine nitrogen bases, amino acid, replication, sequence, transcription, codon Communication Websites • Biology4Kids Cell Structure & Functions: http://www.biology4kids.com/files/cell_main.html • Cells Alive Interactive Model: http://www.cellsalive.com/cells/3dcell.htm • Cells Who Wants to be a Millionaire Game: http://www.quia.com/rr/86966.html • Cell Organelles: Students can test their knowledge of the functions of various cell organelles in a eukaryotic cell with matching, flashcards, concentration, or word search. http://www.quia.com/jg/65947.html • Cell Jeopardy: http://www.quia.com/cb/83507.html • Helping Plants Grow Well: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks2bitesize/science/activities/plants_grow.shtml • What is Your DNA Alias? http://www.nature.ca/genome/05/051/0511/0511_m205_e.cfm • DNA Workshop: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aso/tryit/dna/# • Mitosis Vs.
