WARM UP #10
Big Idea 2: Biological systems utilize free energy and
molecular building blocks to grow, to reproduce and to
maintain dynamic homeostasis.
Student Leader:  Breyana Addison
Objective:
Learners will :  
  • engage in a Socratic Seminar in order to discuss extracellular components and connections between cells and how they are used to coordinate cellular activities.
Enduring understanding: 4.A: Interactions within biological systems lead to complex properties. 
Essential knowledge: 4.A.2: The structure and function of subcellular components, and their interactions, provide essential cellular processes.
  • Learning Objectives:
    • The student is able to make a prediction about the interactions of subcellular organelles.
    • The student is able to construct explanations based on scientific evidence as to how interactions of subcellular structures provide essential functions.
    • The student is able to use representations and models to analyze situations qualitatively to describe how interactions of subcellular structures, which possess specialized functions, provide essential functions.

  1. Sit with your 8 o'clock partner 
  2. Pick up handouts in the back of the room.  
  3. We will re-arrange the classroom

      SAT Word of the Day:

      Monday, February 4 – CONCOCT (v.) – to make up or invent
      When the chemistry teacher was not watching, some of his students began to concoct all kinds of strange solutions.

      Tuesday, February 5 – CONCORD (n.) – agreement
      The School Board’s meeting finally ended with a concord concerning the budget.

      Wednesday, February 6 – CONDUIT (n.) – a pipe, passage, channel
      While planning the new annex, the architect had to provide for the many conduits used for the electrical lines and plumbing.

      Thursday, February 7 – CONFLUENCE (n.) – a convergence, a coming together
      The confluence of the river into the bay could be detected by the appearance of muddy water.

      Friday, February 8 – CONFOUND (v.) – to frustrate
      What confounded the parent was that the school called to say that her son was absent after she had just driven him there herself.
