Westbury High SchoolScience Department Lesson PlanA merger of Madeline Hunter’s Lesson Cycle and the 7-E Method of InstructionTeacher: M. Boyd, M. Callegari, C. Gray, E. Newmons, P. Osamor, R. Russell Subject: BiologyDate: September 2-5 2014 Lesson: BiochemistryDefining SuccessLESSON OBJECTIVE: What will your students be able to do by the end of the class?The student knows the significance of various molecules involved in metabolic processes and energy conversions that occur in living organismsSTANDARDS ADDRESSED: Reporting Category 1:Cell Structure and FunctionThe student will demonstrate an understanding of biomolecules as building blocks of cells, and that cells are the basic unit of structure and function of living things.Target Questions What are the different types of biomolecules?How do simple organic molecules form into complex molecules?Why is the structure of a biomolecule important to its function9(A) compare the structures and functions of different types of biomolecules, including carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.Lesson CycleAccess prior knowledge : ELICIT ( Questions, short quizzes or pre-test)EOC based warm-up activities Biology Pre-AssessmentANTICIPATORY SET: (ENGAGE): A “hook” to get the students interest and attention. (A question, picture, 2-3 minute long video clip, a demonstration).Show students pictures of the biomolecules and ask them to identify the molecules as lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, or carbohydrates.TEACHING/INSTRUCTIONAL PROCESS: (EXPLORE/EXPLAIN): Provide students with a common experience (Labs, hands on activities). Debrief activity, teach concept.Reteach BiomoleculesEnzyme Guided notesGUIDED PRACTICE AND MONITORING: (EXPLAIN). Interactive discussions between teacher and students. Guide/help students as they solve problems and/or answer questions. Clarify misconceptions and check for understanding.Biomolecules Concept map (Students will use information given to create their own concept map)INDEPENDENT PRACTICE: (ELABORATE) Students apply the information learned in the Explain to answer questions or solve problems.Biomolecules stations. Students will read about the 4 biomolecules and transfer the information onto a concept map. (Carry over from last week)EVALUATE: Assess student mastery. (Quizzes, Lab Reports, Unit tests)Biomolecules Homework, biomolecules quizCLOSURE/EXTEND: Revisit objective to see if it was met. (Student written reflections, Open ended Questions, Exit tickets). Make connections between the lesson and everyday life.EXIT Ticket/Open-Ended Response Questions/Writing Reflection/Concept MapSpEd/ ELL ModificationsExtended TimeGuided PracticeShortened AssignmentsPeer TutoringShort and Repeated InstructionsVisualsPreferential seating ................
