A:
B: / Learning Target / I can describe the processes of active and passive transport and explain how they play a role in cell membrane function.
Bell Ringer / Since animals do not have ___ in their cells, animals are mobile & don’t need which two organelles? Why?
Lesson / (Obj 4a) Notes & Discussion:
-Differentiate between solvents, solutes, solutions…and hypotonic, isotonic, and hypertonic solutions.
-Explain how the cell membrane plays a role in the processes of active and passive transport…and how these processes allow for the cell to have chemical exchanges with extra-cellular materials.
-Video summary of Osmosis & Diffusion of “egg lab” in hypotonic, isotonic, & hypertonic solutions
Research the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, then explain how it relates to what we learned today in class concerning passive and active transport.

A:
B: / Learning Target / I can explain the mitotic cell cycle and outline the major aspects of each of the steps of mitosis.
Bell Ringer / What is the structure of DNA in a prokaryotic cell?
Lesson / Mitosis – the process of mitosis and meiosis will be briefly compared by outlining the difference between diploid cells versus haploid cells to identify the GOALS of mitosis and meiosis.
Each stage of the mitotic cell cycle will be explained…with pictures and labels to identify the key parts and changes throughout the process.
Exit Ticket / Summarize as briefly as possible the main change in each step of mitosis

CCSS/ MS Framework Competency/Objective:
4. Analyze and explain the structures and function of the levels of biological organization.
a. Differentiate among plant and animal cells and eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. (DOK 2)
• Functions of all major cell organelles and structures (e.g., nucleus, mitochondrion, rough ER, smooth ER, ribosomes, Golgi bodies, vesicles, lysosomes, vacuoles, microtubules, microfiliaments, chloroplast, cytoskeleton, centrioles, nucleolus, chromosomes, nuclear membrane, cell wall, cell membrane [active and passive transport], cytosol)
• Components of mobility (e.g., cilia, flagella, pseudopodia)
c. Describe and differentiate among the organizational levels of organisms (e.g., cells, tissues, organs, systems, types of tissues.) (DOK 1)
