10
th Grade AC Biology (Traditional Lesson)
Objectives: *Compare the structure and function of eukaryotic cell organelles.
*Describe the composition and function of the cell membrane.
*Compare plant and animal cells.
Materials: textbook, computer, projector, Cell DVD
Procedure 1: Students will read section 4.2 in their Biology textbook (Parts of a Eukaryotic Cell) the night before it is covered in class.
Procedure 2: Notes will be taken during class using a power point and lecture format.
Procedure 3: To reinforce the material covered in the notes, the Cell DVD will be shown to provide visual reinforcement
iPad Lesson
Objectives: Same
Materials: ipads
Procedure 1: Students will read the section on eukaryotic cells from their online textbook using their ipads the night before it is covered in class.
Procedure 2: During class, students will use the Cell and Cell Structure app for the interactive flashcard activity to review cell organelles, plant and animal cells, and plasma membrane.
Procedure 3: Students will complete an interactive quiz using the same app
Procedure 4: Students will watch the 2 videos included on this app : The Animal Cell and The Plant Cell.
*************************************************************************************
21st Century Lesson
Objectives: Same
Materials: iPads, large dry erase boards, dry erase markers
Procedure 1: Students will read the section on eukaryotic cells from their online textbook using their ipads the night before it is covered in class.
Procedure 2: At home, the students will also watch the 2 videos included on the Cell and Cell Structure app : The Animal Cell and The Plant Cell.
Procedure 3: During class, students will use the same app for the interactive flashcard activity to review cell organelles, plant and animal cells, and plasma membrane.
Procedure 4: After the review, each lab table will be randomly assigned an organelle. Working with their lab partners, the students will brainstorm how the selected organelle would resemble a business or company. They will record their creative concepts onto the large dry erase boards at their lab table. Information will include the company/business name, how it would be managed, what products would be manufactured, and its imports and exports.
Procedure 5: Each lab table will share their information with the rest of the class. Together, the class will discuss how each of their individual components would function together as an urban infrastructure. This concept will then be applied to the actual function and interdependence of cell organelles.

Remix # 1 Dec. 12th 2012
10th Grade AC Biology (Traditional Lesson)
Objectives: Contrast the differences between the intertidal, neritic, and oceanic zones. Compare the biodiversity in these regions. Identify current global issues that pertain to oceans.
Materials: computer, projector, worksheet
Procedure 1: Notes will be taken during class using a power point and lecture format.
Procedure 2: Students will complete a review worksheet that covers section 22.4 (Oceanic Zones).
iPad Lesson
Objectives: Same
Materials: ipads, apple tv, projector
Procedure 1: Students review power point at home the night before the lesson.
Procedure 2: During class, students watch YouTube: Breat Barrier Reef PBS Newshour (discussion on current issues with the coral bleaching and sedimentation of the Great Barrier Reef). They will also watch “Exploring Ocean life with an Underwater Vehicle” video clip. Both are found on the free Amazing Ocean app.
Procedure 3: Students will complete an Ocean WebQuest (An Ocean Pollution Investigation) found at www.sonorahs.org (from Sonora High school, California)

Thanks for your first submission...
I like the review at home first. They can download it in class the day before so that some can't use the 'no Internet' excuse/reason. I wonder how procedure one and two could be blended? The app sounds great...I like procedure 3 too...Will students work in groups or by themselves? Great first step. We will re-look at these later in the year. Your feet are officially wet...great work!

Jodi, I have to confess I am LOST in a science class, but here goes!! I had no idea what an organelle was until today, but I think if I had been in your Biology class years ago I may have enjoyed it. I loved the idea of having students create a business or company and then link them all together as a class. The only thing I think would help incorporate 21st century learning and technology here would be to have the small groups collaberate by working on their iPads with an app to create their building using something like skitch or Sketchup, which allows students to create and draw in 3D. Once the groups have their own businesses created, they can share out by mirroring with a projector for the whole class. Later you could upload all of the projects onto your Edmodo or Wiki page and connect them and even provide a blog assignment.
If you are interested in doing something cross curricular relating to cells, I read an outstanding book last summer called "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks," about a woman who had her cells stolen without her (or her family's) knowledge and they were the first cells cultured. Science has been using Henrietta's HeLa cells for many years now. This would be a great book to share with the history classes!!

Jodi, first and foremost, your lesson rocks! The instructional practice and implementation of your topic (eukaryotic cell organelles), clearly shifts the curriculum from a traditional lecture-based approach to a more student centered learning environment. Therefore, it provides greater student interaction and, at the same time, creates an atmosphere of greater student engagement throughout the learning process. Overall, your lesson is extremely well informed and highly educational. Once again, great job!
