Target: I will compare and contrast two types of cells - prokaryotes and eukaryotes by taking notes and creating cartoons.
Dispatch - None
Today we did a gallery walk where students analyzed many different photographs of cells. They saw how many different cells look, and how many look similar, this lead into the discussion about how cells are the smallest unit of life, and that all cells can fall into one of 2 categories.
We then took some notes about cells:
- What do all cells have in common? - DNA (genetic code), Cell membrane (protective covering), Cytoplasm (liquid jelly filling), and all the characteristics of life (grow, react, reproduce, homeostasis, etc)
We then created a tree map on cell types - prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
We then had to take that information and process it for assignment 26 - Cell Cartoons to compare and contrast prokaryotes and eukaryotes by creating a cartoon character for each that shows their physical characteristics, with the characters talking about their differences and similarities.
