Students will complete Trait Sheet for themselves and draw for their Fictitious Mate. They will also draw from both to produce baby phenotype and genotype for 8 traits. They will then construct a "Rock Baby" with these traits.

This lesson will cover microscopes and cells. Microscopes will be used in order to view animal cells, plant cells and bacterial cells. Students will be able to identify at least 1 organelle in animal and plant cells and differentiate between the two.

Rubric for evaluating student presentations on muscles.

Student will create a food web with animals found in a specific biome that they choose. The student must name the animals, habitat, abiotic/biotic factors in the habitat, show the flow of energy in the food web, and classify the organism as producer, consumer, or decomposer. Please be creative. Use any household materials you would like. Example: Use a poster board and cut-outs from a magazine to demonstrate your food chain. Students will need to list all resources used for the project.

Criterion: Reflecting on the Impacts of Science : Science News

Choosing an organism, listing the 7 characteristics of living things and relate these characteristics to the organism. List the 4 needs of life and relate these needs to the organism.

For oral presentation with scientific research following peer review process. Must include a slideshow.

Students will put together a presentation using powerpoint or key notes to create interactive picture presentations to compare and contrast photosynthesis and cell respiration.

Purpose: Produce a 3D model of a plant cell and an animal cell, to better understand the structure and the workings of these types of cells. You will work with a partner to construct a model made of edible materials that meets the criteria listed below. You are responsible for creating a key with a list of all the organelles in each model. Although you are splitting up the work with a partner both of you are responsible for knowing the different structures of each model and the functions of the organelles. Once the models have been completed you and your partner will be assessed with an identification quiz using your models. REMEMBER: Science is not edible but anything that you do not use to construct the model maybe ingested.
