8 SCIENCE – Term 3 Unit 5: BUILDING BLOCKS OF LIFE (5 WEEKS) 1 LEARNING GOALS: Students will investigate the following: In this unit cells are identified as the basic units of living things and are recognised as having specialised structures. Microscopes and digital images are used and wet mount slides prepared to observe and identify plant and animal cells and their organelles. The relationship between the structure and function of specialised plant and animal cells is examined. The development of the Cell theory as a result of historical scientific work is analysed and findings used to validate the tenets of the theory. Questions and problems that can be investigated scientifically are identified and developed. Specialised reproductive cells and structures are introduced. ………………………………………………………………………………………. S SUCCESS CRITERIA: THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO DO THE FOLLOWING: Correctly use a microscope to examine a variety of cells and single-celled organisms Describe and distinguish between plant and animal cells Identify structures within cells and describe their function Explain how cells are grouped to form tissues, which work together to form organs Use diagrams, flow charts, venn diagrams, and concept maps to show how cells function, divide, and are grouped, and then apply this knowledge to how organisms reproduce. ……………………………………………………………………………….
