AGENDA
WHOLE GROUP

We reviewed the focus calendar for this two week period.

The bell ringer was to complete the Learn section of the KWL chart began last class period

Students submitted and reviewed HL 1.

Students completed the flower dissection lab handout. Because of the Love Myself activities, period 6 did not get to complete the lab. It MUST be handed in next class period!

Students then took the assessment on photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Again, period 6 will take this 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: 

Quick write: explain how the reproductive  parts of a flower relate to corresponding parts in humans.
