(Opening/Ho
ok)
Day 1
Day 2
Day 3
Day 4
Begin by showing
students pictures
of a variety of
cells under a
microscope.
*journal: What do
I already know
about cells?
*Pre-test: Probe
*allow students to
keep their probe
in their journals to
refer to as needed
and make
changes to their
answers
*watch video on
using a
microscope
*memory game
with a partner

cell
*watch video on
prepping an
animal cell (cheek
cell)
Day 5
posttest: probe
EXPLORE/EXP
LAIN
(Work
Period)
Using iPads:
Students will
explore using the
cell app to read
about animal cells
and plant cells
parts/functions
*have students
prep an onion skin
slide and cheek
slide
*students may
choose two
different reading
levels on the app
*have students
prep an animal
cell (use safety
precautions)
gloves, eye
protection, only
the person whose
cheek cell is being
used may touch
the slide
Closing:
*students will
bring journals to
the carpet and
share their
vocabulary words
*observe under a
microscope
*journal: what I
did
Students will
illustrate/label
what they saw for
both cells
*using document
camera, students
will share their
journals
*stations: (work
with partners)
1. memory game
2. Amazing Cell
Stations
3. Jeopardy Game
4. Venn Diagram
comparing
plant/animal cells
Continue stations
from yesterday
(students must
choose either
Jeopardy game or
memory game to
play) Everyone
must do Amazing
stations and Venn
Diagram
*work with
partner to fill in
What I learned in
journal and share
with another
partner group
Customized Instruction
