BIOLOGY I HonorsLesson 1: Cells and Organelles

• DAY 1• Students will list what they know about cells

on Promethean.• Teacher will lecture on Cell Theory while

students take notes from Promethean.

DAY 2 and 3

• Students will use i-Pad to do research and take notes on cell organelles using the App: Inside the Cell: Organelles by Steven Beier (2011)

DAY 4• Students will use their i-Pad to go to

www.youtube.com/watch?v=68_0JLZzIR0 to watch a video on prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and distinguish the differences. They may go to other sites for more information. They will summarize these at the end of class.

Closed caption is an option on many videos on the i-Pad

DAY 4

• Students will create 15 flash cards using KeyWords on the i-Pad for homework. The words will be from the word list and not include the scientists. This gives them more practice using their terms and their creativity.

• vacuoles differentiation• ribosomes hierarchical organization• endoplasmic reticulum tissue• Golgi apparatus organ• cilia organ systems• flagella cytoplasm • organelle cell membrane (plasma)• endosymbiosis nuclear membrane• nucleus cell wall• mitochondria prokaryote• chloroplasts eukaryote• lysosomes

DAY 5

• Students will take notes from Promethean as teacher lectures on the hierarchical organization.

DAY 6

• Students will review the organelles and types of cells using a worksheet. Once they answer, they can check their answers using the QRs that are on the worksheet. This gives fast feedback to the students. They will have a QR reader on their i-Pads to use.

DAY 7

• Students will use the Microviewer to locate the organelles in a cell as they work on answering questions that guide them through the lesson.

The Looxcie can be used to video the processof using the Microviewers and can be used to show students who have been absent how to procede.

DAY 8

• Students will take a test on the unit.
