Monday 3 OctoberTopic: A day in the life of a cell

DO NOWWhat comes to mind when you hear

the word ‘protein?’ Describe what functions you think they have in the body. Why do you think they’re necessary in a healthy body?

OBJECTIVEExplain how at least 5 cellorganelles work together tomake and use proteins in yourbody

HW:Rough draft due Wednesday: Detailed

paragraph (typed or neatly written on separate paper)

Describe how the organelles in a cell worktogether to make and use proteins. Include

atleast 5 different organelles in your essay.

AGENDA• Day in the life of a cell!• You will get a ‘script’

afterwards which, combined with your notes, is all you need for the hw

TURN IN:• 2 sheets – one of labeled cell parts, and one is the

table of all the organelle functions

Tuesday 4 OctoberTopic: A day in the life of a cell

DO NOWWhere is DNA located and why?How do ribosomes get their building

information? What contribution to protein production

does the ER (endoplasmic reticulum) play?

Cell analogiesWith a partner, you are to come up with

analogies for a minimum of 4 organelles of your choice

These analogies must compare the function of the organelle to a part of a cityE.g. a vesicle is like a mail truck because it

picks up materials to deliverYou and your partner should write your

analogy on the appropriate posterMost creative wins!

Friday 7 OctoberTopic: Cells Under the Microscope

DO NOWComplete the pre-lab

questions

OBJECTIVEIdentify various cells and cell components by creating wet mount slides from different organisms.

HW:• Complete lab analysis questions• Detailed paragraph (typed or neatly

written on separate paper), describeing how the organelles in a cell work together to make and use proteins. Include at least 5 different organelles in your essay.

AGENDA• Review lab protocol• Cells under the microscope• TURN IN LAB BEFORE YOU

LEAVE

Lab ProtocolIt is imperative that you stay AT your lab

table and RAISE YOUR HAND for permission to move about the roomThis means roaming around for ANY REASONYou get one roaming warning then the next

offense is a blue slip

Lab materials are to be used for the purpose written in the lab report ONLYANY misuse of lab materials is an automatic

blue slip, no questions asked

Lab ProtocolToday you are observing animals cells (your

own cheek cells) and plant cells (Elodea leaflets)

The ENTIRE lab is written step by step – do everything in order so you don’t get lost/confused!

Your lab is to be completed (with analysis questions) and turned in TODAYIf you don’t complete the lab, you must finish

afterschool during office hours
