(Warm-Up Prep for Lesson
Outcomes; Review or
Preview)
10-15 Minutes
Extension of Activator:

Standard: SCSh7
Students will analyze
how scientific
knowledge is
developed.
b. Universal principles
are discovered through
observational and
experimental
verification.
Standard: SB1.
Students will analyze
the nature of the
relationships between
structures and functions
in living cells. (a)
Explain the role of cell
organelles for both
prokaryotic and
eukaryotic cells,
including the cell
membrane, in
maintaining
homeostasis and cell
reproduction.
Standard: SB1.

Essential Question:
Why is a macroscopic
organism made of
microscopic cells?
What is a cell? Looking
at the timeline in your
book pg 182, why do
you think there often
were long periods of
time between
significant discoveries
about cells?
Essential Question:
How have eukaryotic
cells contributed to the
evolution of
multicellular higher
organisms?
SCSh9 Students will
enhance reading in all
curriculum areas.
c. Building vocabulary
knowledge
Essential Question:
Reviewing the key
concepts thus far-what
are the relevant
vocabulary & concepts
necessary to conduct
science?
Essential Question:
What is the function of
the Rough Endoplasmic
Reticulum? What types
of human cells would
contain a large amount
of RER?
What is the function of
a lysosome?
Essential Question: How
do plants benefit from
cell walls? How is a plant
cell wall or an animal cell
membrane different from
the walls of our
classroom?
35-45 Minutes
