Monday 3 October

Topic: A day in the life of a cell

DO NOW

What comes to mind when you hear the word ‘protein?’ Describe what functions you think they have in the body. Why do you think they’re necessary in a healthy body?

OBJECTIVEExplain how at least 5 cell

organelles work together to

make and use proteins in your

body

HW:

Rough draft due Wednesday: Detailed paragraph (typed or neatly written on separate paper)

Describe how the organelles in a cell work

together to make and use proteins. Include at

least 5 different organelles in your essay.

AGENDA

• Day in the life of a cell!

• You will get a ‘script’ afterwards

which, combined with your

notes, is all you need for the hw

TURN IN:

• 2 sheets – one of labeled cell parts, and one is the table of all the organelle functions

Glucose +

O2

Cell Respiration

ATP (for the cell to use)

DNA

(Holds genetic

information)

RNA

(Copies genetic from DNA and carries it to the

Ribosome to make proteins)

Protein could go to membrane to be released

into blood stream

(Modifies and shapes the protein)

Protein

being formed

at Ribosome

Tuesday 4 October

Topic: A day in the life of a cell

DO NOW

Where is DNA located and why?

How do ribosomes get their building information?

What contribution to protein production does the ER (endoplasmic reticulum) play?

OBJECTIVE

Explain how at least 5 cell

organelles work together to

make and use proteins in your

body (cont)

Cell analogies

With a partner, you are to come up with analogies for a

minimum of 4 organelles of your choice

These analogies must compare the function of the organelle

to a part of a city

E.g. a vesicle is like a mail truck because it picks up materials to

deliver

You and your partner should write your analogy on the

appropriate poster

Most creative wins!

OBJECTIVE

Ribosome

Golgi body

Mitochondrion

Vesicle

Friday 7 October

Topic: Cells Under the Microscope

DO NOW

Complete the pre-lab questionsOBJECTIVE

Identify various cells and cell components by creating wet mount slides from different organisms.

HW:

• Complete lab analysis questions

• Detailed paragraph (typed or neatly written on separate paper), describeinghow the organelles in a cell work together to make and use proteins. Include at least 5 different organelles in your essay.

AGENDA

• Review lab protocol

• Cells under the microscope

• TURN IN LAB BEFORE YOU LEAVE

Lab Protocol

It is imperative that you stay AT your lab table and RAISE

YOUR HAND for permission to move about the room

This means roaming around for ANY REASON

You get one roaming warning then the next offense is a blue slip

Lab materials are to be used for the purpose written in the

lab report ONLY

ANY misuse of lab materials is an automatic blue slip, no

questions asked

Lab Protocol

Today you are observing animals cells (your own cheek cells)

and plant cells (Elodea leaflets)

The ENTIRE lab is written step by step – do everything in

order so you don’t get lost/confused!

Your lab is to be completed (with analysis questions) and

turned in TODAY

If you don’t complete the lab, you must finish afterschool

during office hours
