Topic: Protozoa – Chapter 26
Instructor: J. Valentine
Grade: 10-12
Key Learning(s): The kingdom Protista contains a diverse collection of
eukaryotic organisms. All protists are eukaryotic and lack tissue
differentiation. The phyla of protozoa are distinguished by their form of
locomotion and each group contains a number of parasites that cause
serious human diseases.
Unit Essential Question(s):
-What characteristics set protozoa apart from other kingdoms?
-What are the differences between the 5 phyla of protozoa?
-Name and describe some human diseases caused by protists.

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.
3.1.B.B2: Illustrate that the sorting and recombining of
genes in sexual reproduction results in a great variety of
possible gene combinations in offspring.
3.1.10.A3: Compare and contrast the life cycles of different
organisms.
3.1.10.A8: Investigate the spatial relationships of
organisms’ anatomical features using specimens, models,
or computer programs.
LEQs:
-What kind of organisms are found in the
kingdom Protista? What characteristics do
they share?
-How do protozoa reproduce?
-What is a cyst? Under what conditions might
certain protozoa form cysts?
LEQs:
-What are pseudopodia? What function do they
