Priority PA Core Standards:
 CC.3.6.9-10.H: Draw evidence from informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research.
 CC.3.5.9-10.B Determine the central ideas or conclusions of a text; trace the text’s explanation or depiction of a complex process, phenomenon, or
concept; provide an accurate summary of the text.
 CC.3.5.9-10.C Follow precisely a complex multistep procedure when carrying out experiments, taking measurements, or performing technical tasks,
attending to special cases or exceptions defined in the text.
 CC.3.5.9-10.D Determine the meaning of symbols, key terms, and other domain-specific words and phrases as they are used in a specific scientific or
technical context relevant to grades 9–12 texts and topics.
 CC.3.5.9-10.E Analyze the structure of the relationships among concepts in a text, including relationships among key terms (e.g., force, friction, reaction
force, energy).
PA Academic Standards (if applicable):
3.1.B.A1 Compare and contrast the cellular structures and degrees of complexity of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.
3.1.B.A5 Relate the structure of cell organelles to their function (energy capture and release, transport, waste removal, protein synthesis, movement, etc.)
3.1.12.A5 Analyze how structure is related to function at all levels of biological organization from molecules to organisms.
KEY LEARNING:
Kingdom Protista includes a diverse collection of
eukaryotic organisms that lack tissue
differentiation, but can carry out all life processes
within a single cell.
UNIT ESSENTIAL QUESTION:
What are the distinguishing characteristics of
Protista that separate them from the other
eukaryotic Kingdoms?

Lesson Essential Questions:
CONCEPT:
Algae and their ecological importance
Lesson Essential Questions:
How did eukaryotic cells evolve?
How do protozoans carry out all life
functions in a single cell and how do these
small organisms effect living things?
What characteristics distinguish algae
from plants and how do they accomplish
essential life functions?
