ESSENTIAL QUESTION: What defines a plant?  

RELEVANCE: How are plants like humans? 

NGSSS: SC.912.L.14.7; MAFS.912.N-Q.1.1; LAFS.910.SL.1.1

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:  Students will be able to:
-relate the structures of plant tissues and organs to their roles in physiological processes.
-continue Journey To Mars Project.
-continue Million Orchid Project

BELL RINGER - KW about the parts of a plant and flower

VOCABULARY: roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, cones, cambium, guard cells, phloem, root hairs, root cap, seed, stomata, xylem, stamen, pistil, ovary, petals, sperm, egg, sepal, filament, anther, style, stigma, meristematic, ground tissue, dermal tissue, vascular tissue

HOME LEARNING: HL 1 Biopharming reading and answer selection

AGENDA
WHOLE GROUP

We reviewed the focus calendar objective for the two week period.

Students set up a new Cornell notes page. In the bell ringer section, they completed the K and W of a KWL chart on plant parts.

Cell Organelle reports were collected.

Home learning 1 was distributed and explained. You can find the handout below.
This is HL 1. Please read the short passage. Then, use information from the passage, your knowledge of plant tissues and your ability to reason to write to explain a minimum of three plant parts and their function; relationship to other living organisms, and how biopharming a plant with this part might be detrimental to the environment and other living organisms. Be specific when you explain the negative impacts.


Students then dissected and labeled the parts of a flower.

Students also took notes on the parts and functions of plants. You can watch a video on plant structure by clicking below.

Watch the video. Take notes on the structure of plants.

Plant Anatomy

Students will take a short assessment on respiration and photosynthesis next class period.

SMALL GROUP/INDEPENDENT PRACTICE/DI
Students who complete work early should go to Edgenuity and work on assigned topics.

HOTS: 
-Correlate plant tissues by function to the same tissues in humans.
-Why do some plants like Venus Fly Trap use animal nutrition if they are plants?

EXIT STRATEGY:
