Fort Belknap “Tribal Cell”Making the ConnectionFor Grades 7-12 @ DHS

GOALS Students will develop a specific understanding

of organelles and their functions. Students will progress from a cellular level to all

levels of organization. This will help them understand the levels of organization.

Students will become proficient in naming organelles and having the ability to relate organelles with one another.

Students will take knowledge to the next level. ie: Organelles-cell-tissue-organ-organ system-organism

ie: parts of a city-city-county-state-country-world

Science Grades 7-12

OBJECTIVES SCS 3 Students through the inquiry process, will

demonstrate knowledge of characteristics, structures and functions of living things, the process and diversity of life, and how living organisms interact with each other and their environment.

BM 3.1 Students will investigate and use appropriate technology to demonstrate that cells have common features and differences that determine function

BM3.1 Students will compare the structure and function of eukaryotic cells including the levels of organization of the structure and function

Cross Curriculum Project Math- geometric shapes, square acreage Art-designing buildings & structures with

materials provided History-the history behind tribe/city English-essay on compare/contrast of

organelles and city building/structures Business/Tech-power point to present

project Biology – 3-D Model with explanation on

display board with scientific method steps

Go Farther……..

MATERIALS NEEDED TRI-FOLD DISPLAY BOARD ART SUPPLIES- card board, popsicle

sticks, pipe cleaners, glue gun, glue sticks, tissue paper.

Interactive Smart Board Cell software IMAGINATION

STEPS TO BE TAKEN Compare organelles of a cell to buildings

of a city – ie: nucleus=city hall Design a blue print with each building

named by city building, structure/organelle

Make 3-D structures with labels. Display scientific method steps on tri-fold

display board. Give rationale for each building or

structure named.

Lesson Plan Breakdown Day 1 – Introduce Cells using smart

board software, Pre Test Day 2 – Power Point Presentation and

distribution of materials Day 3 – Blue Prints approved by teacher Day 4 & 5 – Construct cell city model Day 6 – Presentation of projects to class Day 7 – Post Test

The Ecology of the Eukaryotic Cell/Fort Belknap Tribe

The science of the relationships between organisms (organelles/Tribal members) and their environments (Cell/Ft. Belknap Reservation)
