    Context: Reconnecting

    Big Ideas: 

    We have become distanced from each other and in some ways isolated - from school, each other and sometimes ourselves.  This term we focus on discovering what makes us unique and reconnecting with others.  Our focus in Science will be to learn about our body - cells, cell division & genetics which makes us who we are.

    Achievement objectives:

    Nature of Science

    • Develop and carry out more complex investigations, including using models.
    • Use a wider range of science vocabulary, symbols, and conventions.

    Level 5: Living World

    • Describe the organisation of life at the cellular level.
    • Describe the basic processes by which genetic information is passed from one generation to the next.

    5c's - Collaboration, Communication, Critical Thinking, Creativity & Citizenship
    Learning Intentions:
    Exploring:
    We are researching and investigating Cells and its organelles

    Success Criteria:  I can/have:
    • draw a neat labeled diagram of a typical plant or animal cell
    • Identify the different cellular organisational levels and explain their functions - these tasks need to be completed in your book
    • make a model of a cell showing the various cell organelles
    • In groups of 4 - you will create a board game to help a young person of your age understand about a cell and its organelles while having fun.
    Activities
    • Taking a walk in Tane forest to observe and differentiate between the living world and non-living world.
    • Using hand lens and microscope to observe and make notes of Cells & tissues.
    • Draw a neat labelled diagram of a typical plant and animal cell in your science book.
    • Write the differences between a plant and animal cell in your science book.
    • Using Education Perfect - complete the information chart from Google Classroom.
    • make a model of a cell showing the various cell organelles (in class task). (Using Creativity, Collaboration, Communication) . You will present your model to the class with a 2-3 minute speech.
    • Complete tasks from Google Classroom and submit.
    • In groups of 4 - you will create a board game to help a young person of your age understand about cell and its organelles while having fun. (Using Critical thinking, Creativity, Collaboration, Communication

    Class Task:
     In pairs, you will make a 3D model of a cell - You must bring all the required material to class     (Teacher may be able to support)
    Cell Model is due 26th February.
    Board Game is due 26th February
    Homework tasks - Log on to Education Perfect and complete activities by 20th February.
