SIOP Lesson Plan: Cells and Organelles - Chris Martin

SIOP Lesson Plan: Cells and Organelles

Name: Alison Zavertnik, Yimin Tang, Rachel Pinard, Chris Martin Grade/Class: 7th grade Life Science

Content Objectives (SOLs): LS.2: The student will investigate and understand that all living things are composed of cells. Key concepts include: (a) cell structure and organelles (b) similarities and differences between plant and animal cells.

Language Objectives (WIDA): Level 1: Students will identify parts of a cell by locating in pictures. Students can use a pre-labeled cell if necessary. Students will understand the function of the cell parts by identifying the corresponding pictures of parts of a house. Students will use a picture of a labeled house to help with visual understanding of the functions. Students will be able to label cell parts of being either plant or animal cells by placing a check mark under the picture of a plant and/or an animal.

Level 2: Students will identify cell parts by locating in pictures. Students can use a prelabeled cell if necessary. Students will demonstrate understanding of the function of cell parts by writing the name of the corresponding house parts. Students can use a picture of a labeled house to help with spelling. Students will be able to label cell parts as being plant or animal cells by placing a check mark under the corresponding picture.

Level 3: Students will identify cell parts by locating in pictures. Students will demonstrate understanding of the function of cell parts by writing the function in complete sentences. Students can use a bank of definitions with corresponding pictures of the part and the part of the house. Students will be able to label cell parts as being plant or animal cells by placing a check mark.

Level 4-6: Students will identify cell parts by locating in pictures. Students will demonstrate understanding of the function of cell parts by writing the function in complete sentences. Students can use a bank of definitions to help with spelling if necessary. Students will be able to label cell parts as being plant or animal cells by placing a check mark.

Materials and Resources: Flashcards, Smart Board, Pencils, Activity Sheet, Pre-Labeled Cell Sheet, Labeled House Sheet, Function Definition Sheet with Pictures, Function Definition Sheet without Pictures

Science Safety: Warn students of paper cuts with flashcards.

Links to Student Experience and Learning: Engagement activity comparing cells to an airplane and a house.

Key Vocabulary: Cell membrane: the outer covering of the cell Cytoplasm: gel-like substance residing within cell membrane holding internal structures Nucleus: part of cell containing DNA and RNA, responsible for growth and reproduction Cell wall: rigid layer outside of cell membrane on plant cells Vacuole: space within cytoplasm of cell that acts as a container and varies in shape Mitochondrion: organelle, found in large numbers, respiration and energy production Endoplasmic reticulum (ER): packaging system Chloroplast: Contains chlorophyll, conducts photosynthesis

Lesson Sequence (what teacher will do, what students will do, key concepts and process)

Engagement: The teachers will compare the parts of the cell to the components of an airplane and a house in an attempt to connect the new material to prior knowledge. The teachers will use visual aids (images on the screen) to enhance understanding and comprehension. (5 minutes)

Exploration: Students will work in small groups to complete a matching game of organelle, definition, and picture using the flashcards provided by the teachers. Each group of students will be given a set of 24 cards. The students will be asked to create sets of three cards matching the organelle, definition and picture. Once they complete the matching game the student will have 8 groups of cards matched. Levels 1 ? 2 will have different

flashcards. They will match the cell parts (name and picture) with the corresponding picture of the house used in the analogy and where it's located in a cell. (20 minutes)

Explanation: Students will complete the attached activity sheet to identify which organelles make up plant and animal cells. Students will use whole sentences to define the function of each organelle. Level 1 students will paste pictures of the cell part and the corresponding part of a house. Level 2 students will paste pictures of the cell part and write the corresponding part of a house. Level 3 ? 6 students will write in complete sentences however using banks of the definitions with pictures and without pictures to provide differentiation.

Elaboration: Students will respond to teacher prompts to classify pictures as plant or animal cells on the Smart Board

Evaluation: Students will be evaluated based on the following rubric.

Performance Criteria Students will be able to identify and define various organelles Students will use whole sentences to describe functions of plant and animal cell organelles Level 1 students will paste pictures. Level 2 students will paste pictures and write the corresponding part of the house. Levels 3 ? 6 will write in complete sentences. Students will apply their knowledge of organelles and cell types to classify cells as belonging to plants or animals

Evidence Successful completion of matching game Successful completion of activity sheet

Successful completion of Smart Board classification activity

Points or Rating*

*2 = completes activity and correctly defines and explains topics thoroughly 1 = completes activity but doesn't necessarily provide correct explanations 0 = does not complete activity or provide explanations
