ESSENTIAL QUESTION: How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?  

RELEVANCE: I owe my life to a plant! 

NGSSS: SC.912.L.18.9; MAFS.912.N-Q.1.1; LAFS.910.SL.1.1

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:  Students will be able to:
-explain how the products of photosynthesis are used as reactants for cellular respiration and vice versa.
-explain how photosynthesis stores energy in organic compounds and cellular respiration releases energy from organic compounds.
-identify the reactants, products, and/or basic function of photosynthesis, aerobic and anaerobic cellular respiration.
-connect the role of ATP to energy transfers within the cell.
-continue Journey To Mars Project.
-set up and explain Million Orchid Project

BELL RINGER - complete the top of the handout on types of cellular respiration

VOCABULARY: autotroph, photosynthesis, heterotroph, ATP, aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration, chloroplast, mitochondria

HOME LEARNING: Biology report on the cell

AGENDA
WHOLE GROUP

We reviewed the current focus calendar standard.

The bell ringer was to read the handout comparing aerobic and anaerobic respiration. You can find the handout below.

These are the handouts for the bell ringer and notes.


Students then completed the top of the handout and wrote the comparison text information in their notebooks.

Students watched the BrainPop video on Cellular Respiration. You can access the video at the link Cellular Respiration. The UN and password are palmbeach.

Students spent the remainder of the period completing data collection for both Fairchild Garden projects (Million Orchid Project and Growing Beyond Earth Project).

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

HOTS: 
-Which process (photosynthesis or cellular respiration) do you think began first on earth? Explain your answer.
-Describe how a planet like Mars could be terraformed because of the process of photosynthesis.

EXIT STRATEGY: 

Three things I learned, two things I found interesting, one question I still have.
