**__Day 7: What are the functions of organelles? (continued) __**   __Focus Attention/Motivation: __Students will answer Question of the Day in science journals. “Why do plant cells need chloroplasts and animal cells do not?” 5 minutes   __Instructional Input & Modeling __:  __Student Engagement/Practice: __  LAB: In cooperative groups of 2, students will view slides of each organelle under electron microscope. Slides will not be labeled. Students’ task is to correctly identify the name of the organelle and then describe its function on lab worksheet. 40 minutes  <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Upon completion of lab, students will begin working individually on three dimensional model of either plant or animal cell. Teacher will provide pipe cleaners, poms, construction paper, play doh, yarn and other materials to complete. Students will be given remainder of class to work on model. What is not finished must be completed at home and returned to next class. <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">30 minutes <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Lab Write up worksheets <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Slides <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Microscope <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Styrofoam, pipe cleaners, poms, construction paper, play doh, yarn, etc. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Students experiencing proficiency can choose to create 3 dimensional models of both plant and animal cells.
