Course Name: BIOLOGY
HARDMAN, JOHNSTON, LIPTHRATT, HAMILTON
Monday
Standard(s):
SB4. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to illustrate the organization of interacting systems within single-celled and multi-celled organisms.
a. Construct an argument supported by scientific information to explain patterns in structures and function among clades of organisms, including the origin of eukaryotes by endosymbiosis.
LT:
We are identifying patterns in order to classify organisms as eukaryotes and prokaryotes
SC: (I know I’ll have it when I can…)
Identify similarities and differences in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
Describe key features in prokaryotic cells
Describe and compare two types of eukaryotic cells
What do they have in common?
What is different?
Identify evidence for endosymbiotic theory (prokaryotes giving rise to eukaryotes)
Distinguish between the three domains using evidence
Lesson/Activity:
Intro video: Misunderstood Microbes
Creating prior knowledge: review Prokaryote/Eukaryote
Students work to complete: PIVOT Pro/Euk
Mini-lesson: cell review/draw eukaryote/prokaryote and label in NB
review/complete notes on domains, endosymbiotic theory(note sheet)

Wednesday 8/30/23
Standard(s):
SB4. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to illustrate the organization of interacting systems within single-celled and multi-celled organisms.
a. Construct an argument supported by scientific information to explain patterns in structures and function among clades of organisms, including the origin of eukaryotes by endosymbiosis.
LT:
We are identifying patterns in order to classify organisms into 7 levels of classification.

SC:(I know I’ll have it when I can…)
Identify and describe the evidence to support the endosymbiotic theory
Identify how the domain Eukarya is broken into 4 kingdoms
Describe characteristics (body type, cell structure, nutrition, mobility) for organisms in each kingdom)
Identify the 7 levels of classification for Linneaus
Analyze an organism's classification levels to identify which organisms are more closely related.
Lesson/Activity:
Notes: 7 levels of classification
Levels of Classification practice.
Binomial nomenclature: video/practice
Kingdom Classification practice
Comparative anatomy of the Domestic Chicken interactive

Thursday 8/31/23
Standard(s):
SB4. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to illustrate the organization of interacting systems within single-celled and multi-celled organisms.
b. Analyze and interpret data to develop models (i.e., cladograms and phylogenetic trees) based on patterns of common ancestry and the theory of evolution to determine relationships
LT:
We are identifying patterns in order to classify organisms using cladograms and phylogenetic trees.

SC:(I know I’ll have it when I can…)
Identify the evidence for classifying organisms (paleontology, genetic and biochemical, anatomical, embryology)
Construct ways to organize the patterns in organisms (phylogenetic and cladograms)
Lesson/Activity:
Where do whales fit into the tree of life? Whole group lesson
