I think our essential question should be: If all living organisms are essentially made up of cells, why do they look so differently? (C)

Great! I vote for this one too! (T) I think this essential question is fantastic, great job! (N)


 * Day 1:** As of right now, Cruz will be doing a lesson on plants cells vs. animal cells (structure) with a Venn diagram then a worksheet. After talking to him, I gave him my lesson so I could do the cell game on day 4 of our unit. Using a website on cells, Cruz will also briefly address: What is a cell? Cell theory, prokaryotic cells and examples, eukaryotic cells and examples then he will have students visit another website to investigate the different types of cells and complete a worksheet and Venn Diagram.
 * Day 2:** Then on day two, I think that Ayo should pick up this same website and continue the learning by talking about what each part of the cell does and filling out a chart on it or something. If this doesn't take too long, how about using the bicycle activity that Lisa put on the "manage Wiki" under files? What do you think? Ayo, what do you think? --Tonya


 * Day 3:** I think the essential question is great. I have upload a few files that have some lesson ideas. To view them go to mangage wiki (on left) and click files. Once there you should be able to open them. After talking with Tonya, we decided that my lesson, the cell brochure will be lesson 3. I will have the lesson plan to go with the direction sheet and rubric by tomorrow afternoon. If anyone wants to use/change the other files please do so. If you have any questions let me know. Also I will be uploading the lesson plan so to view it you will need to go to managewiki and files. ---Lisa


 * Day 4:** On day 4 I will have the students do a activity that involves the whole classroom setting and all the students at once. This is called the "Cell Game" and a friend of mine made this up years ago. It is wonderful!! There is a lot of movement and it is very interactive. By the time the students are finished with this game day, they will be ready for the test and/or quiz the next day on day 5.


 * Day 5:** Would anyone be able to write a quiz please? We could help with adding our lesson stuff ideas too? Thanks, Tonya

Hi everyone, I have just uploaded my lesson plan to the files section under managewiki. I included colorado content standards because that is where i teach. I also included NETS standards. Let me know if you think they fit. I did the lesson plan format that i always do. if someome does not like that format and would like that change it to something that they use that is fine. I also did not include a unit question becuase i wasnt sure if one person was doing that or if i needed to. please let me know what you think. I will try to be on later today, but probably not again until tomorrow, so if you need to get a hold of me try my cell. -Lisa

So i uploaded the wrong one first- the correct one is the one with the NETS standards. again view the lesson plan under files.Lisa
