Dispatch: What are models? Why do we use them?
Today we discussed the use of models - to demonstrate things that are difficult to see, to illustrate something that is 3d, to better understand the structure and function of something, and to share information in a visual and kinesthetic way.
Students received their Unit 2- Eukayotic Cells Overview page (assignment 41) and we read and highlighted important information.
Students read about the concepts they must master by the end of the unit, the lab, and the requirements for the project- Animal and Plant Cell Models (500 points) Due November 8th.
We then got into self-chosen partners to select which models to build, and begin a materials list for how we will be constructing them (Project Planning (page 40). They can be made of anything! Foam, clay, candy, or even cake!
