**__Day 6: What are the functions of organelles? __**   __Focus Attention/Motivation: __ Students answer question of the day in science journal. “What are the jobs of cell?” (Review from last week’s lesson on cells and their jobs) 5 minutes    Today, we will learn about the different parts of cells and find out what each part does.   Begin with whole class discussion about a school. What are the parts of a school? Principal, secretaries, teachers (classroom, specials, reading), students, nurse, lunch ladies, janitors, clubs. Discuss jobs of each. Importance of each role. 5 minutes   __Instructional Input & Modeling __<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">: Page 34-35 textbook.

Students will be divided into groups of 2-3. The responsibility of the group will be to investigate one assigned organelle and present it to the class. Their investigation will include: <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">-illustration of the organelle <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">-identification of location-plant cell, animal cell or both <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">-description of function of organelle <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">They will record findings on one sheet of paper folded in half.
