Food for Thought…
Learning Goal
We will investigate the structures and functions of cells, and the environmental factors that influence cellular activity using light microscopes (physical and virtual) and slide staining procedures.
Computer: Animal Mitosis Microscope Lab
Success Criteria for Full Lesson• We will understand and describe the stages of
mitosis. • We will develop a working understanding of
microscopes and the names of their components.
• We will identify these stages in ‘real life’ with the Whitefish Blastula.
• We will be able to create “biological drawings” of “Field of View”.
Smart Board: Cell Organelles and their Jobs
Success Criteria of Full Lesson• We will understand each of the organelles’ jobs
within the cell. • We will be able to recognize how the organelle’s
job will affect the cell if it is removed.• We will be able to identify the organelles by
appearance.• We will be able to label a plant and animal cell.
Tablets: Cancer
Success Criteria for Full Lesson• We will develop an overview of the historic
development of our understanding of carcinogens (cancer causing agents).
• We will understand the cell cycle and cell division timing.
• We will develop an understanding of mutations required within the cell that causes cancer development
• We will reflect about growth in our understanding of cancer. We will determine what we might change in our lives to limit the potential of having cancer.
Lab: Microscopes and Slides
Success Criteria for Full Lesson• We will understand how magnification works,
microscope terms, and how to do slide preparation.• We will learn how to make “biological drawings” and
the skills required.• We will integrate the ‘real life’ with textbook figures.• We will evaluate staining methods.• We will cement differences between plant and
animal cells.
Low Tech: Play Clay Cells
Success Criteria for Full Lesson• We will develop an understanding of ‘size’ of
organelles in relation to cell size.• We will review the differences between plant
and animals cells.
