Lesson Plans for Feb. 4-8
Biology I
Objectives to be Taught: 3 a, b, c
LIFE SCIENCE
3. Investigate and evaluate the interaction between living organisms and their environment.
a. Compare and contrast the characteristics of the world’s major biomes (e.g., deserts, tundra, taiga, grassland, temperate forest,
tropical rainforest). (DOK 2)
Plant and animal species
Climate (temperature and rainfall)
Adaptations of organisms
b. Provide examples to justify the interdependence among environmental elements. (DOK 2)
Biotic and abiotic factors in an ecosystem (e.g., water, carbon, oxygen, mold, leaves)
Energy flow in ecosystems (e.g., energy pyramids and photosynthetic organisms to herbivores, carnivores, and decomposers)
Roles of beneficial bacteria
Interrelationships of organisms (e.g., cooperation, predation, parasitism, commensalism, symbiosis, and mutualism)
c. Examine and evaluate the significance of natural events and human activities on major ecosystems (e.g., succession, population
growth, technology, loss of genetic diversity, consumption of resources). (DOK 2)
4. Analyze and explain the structures and function of the levels of biological organization.
a. Differentiate among plant and animal cells and eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
(DOK 2)
Functions of all major cell organelles and structures (e.g., nucleus, mitochondrion, rough ER, smooth ER, ribosomes, Golgi bodies,
vesicles, lysosomes, vacuoles, microtubules, microfilaments, chloroplast, cytoskeleton, centrioles, nucleolus, chromosomes, nuclear
membrane, cell wall, cell membrane [active and passive transport], cytosol)
Components of mobility (e.g., cilia, flagella, pseudopodia)
Monday
Objectives:
3a (see above)
Activities:
Prebell: Do the finishing touches on your biome project
The student will:
1) Present there biome project to the class in pairs (3-5 min) each.
2) Review each biome’s major plant and animals.
3) Continue notes on biomes and human population.
Closure: students will: List and explain 3 facts they learned about biomes.
Homework: study for quiz
Enrichment: Students will show a deep understanding of biomes by illustrating their notes taken during the presentations.
Tuesday (Jostens will need to see students)
Objectives
3a (see above)
Activities:
Prebell: What biomes have the least amount of precipitation? What are some adaptations of plants and animals to survive the dry
environment?
The student will:
*Complete Quiz on objective 3a
*Discuss the interactions of humans in the environment
*Be introduced to Populations and Human Activity using Pearson video segment.
*Notes/lecture/powerpoint (Chapter 5)
Closure: What is the difference between density-dependent and density-independent factors?
Closure: What part of the test did you have the most difficulty with, if any?
Homework: Flash cards for vocabulary
Wednesday (Black History program 9:00 a.m.)
Objectives:
3c (see above)
The student will be able to:
*Identify some of the major threats to biodiversity caused by man.
*Identify types of environmental protections that are being used.
Activities:
Prebell: What are some small steps that humans can take to protect the environment?
*Notes/lecture
*Powerpoint
*Identify countries and their population’s age structures.
Closure: suggest a way that WCHS could be more environmentally friendly.
Homework: Spiral Workbook
Thursday
Objectives:
3c (see above)
Activities
Prebell: Looking at the human population chart provided infer what happed to cause the two major dips in human population.
students will:
understand consumption of resources
Review all concepts of ecology
Show their knowledge of biomes and human interactions in the environment by completing a quiz with 70 or greater accuracy.
Closure: Students will describe the population structure of Wayne County.
Friday
Objectives:
4a (see above)
Activities:
Prebell: Handout on cell structures
The student will:
*Identify the major organelles
*Understand the functions of common organelles
*Differentiate between plant and animal cells
*Identify cell structures common to prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells.
*Notes/lecture/powerpoint (Chapter 7)
