Schedule  Week of December 1st 2008:

Unit of Study:  Microscopes

                         Cell Structure and Function

                         Cell Processes

                         Cell Reproduction

Essential Questions:

On November 20th and November 21st students were in the Media Center computer lab working on a project related to cells (cell travel brochure). The cell travel brochure is due on Friday, December 5th. Students received a handout explaining this assignment. After creating the cell travel brochure, students will work on a 3-D cell model project that incorporates the Design Cycle: Investigating/researching, Planning, Creating and Evaluating. Students, check out the cell structure analogy web site below to better understand cell analogies. 

On Monday, students completed the cell organelle concept map on page 59. On December 2nd students should bring the following to class:  science workbook, cell foldable, and the 2 worksheets completed while in the computer lab prior to the Thanksgiving break.

There will not be a science current event article due this week.

Cell Analogies (Example):

An analogy is a similarity in some respects between things that are otherwise dissimilar. For example, a heart an analogous to a bicyle pump. The heart pumps blood in the body and a bicycle pump pumps air in a bike. Check out the following web site to better understand cell structure analogies:
