Ellington Academy Lesson Plans
Mrs. Rhoades, Biology
Week of Sept. 30 – October 4
Desired Outcomes
Objectives:
Identify the different types of cell transport
Predict the effect of different environments on a cell or organism based on cell transport (osmosis, diffusion, etc.)
Essential Questions: How is change reflected through art and technology?
What happens to you (and your cells) when exposed to different environments?
How do cells respond to change?
Assessment of Learning
Daily warm-ups (review); small- and whole-group discussion; monitoring students’ progress during problem-solving; worksheets; osmosis lab and extension; informal quizzes & review game; summative quiz.
Arts/Technology Integration Strategy
Videos and Powerpoint slides will be shown. Students will draw or possibly act out the different cell transport processes.
Learning Plan for the Week
Hooks: What happens to the iodine in the bag and how does this represent our cells? What happens when you spray perfume in a large room? How do you keep your vegetables crispy? What happens when you are dehydrated? Why can't you drink salt water?
Direct Instruction: Students will be given directions for all activities and take notes on the cell membrane and cell transport (diffusion, osmosis, active transport). Teacher will perform demonstrations to help students visualize cell membrane/cell transport concepts.
Guided Practice: The teacher will guide students through the beginning of each assignment. Students will work in groups to explore through hands-on laboratory work and to make predictions about the labs/demos. Students will play the review game in teams.
Independent Practice: Students will practice the concepts they’ve learned through applying cell transport concepts to real life situations. They will also complete laboratory and other worksheets, do homework assignments, and take individual quizzes.
Materials/Resources: Handouts will be provided for students; students should have notebooks, folders/binders, and something to write with every day. They should keep their textbooks at home for a resource.

Friday
No school - have a good weekend! :)
