Performance Expectation In this activity, students will be introduced to the concept of things
existing that are too small to be seen without magnification.

activities completed during the unit.
The Learning Plan: <Briefly describe the sequence of activities for the lesson.> In the course
of the planning identify at least 1 of the 5 Es. Outline the specific Es below:
ENGAGE: Write the following words on the index cards with only one word per card: sandwich,
house, school, kitchen, computer, car, bicycle, and closet.
EXPLORE: In this activity, students will use a microscope to view and sketch cells, construct models
of cells, and identify similarities and differences between the cells in plants and animals.
EXPLAIN: Question Prompts Remember/Recall What is a cell? A cell is the basic structural and
functional unit of all organisms. All living things are composed of cells. All nonliving things are not
composed of cells. Where is cytoplasm found? Cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance that fills in
around all the other plant structures. Understand/Skill and Concept How do plant and animal cells
compare? Plant and animals cells both have a nucleus, cell membrane, and cytoplasm. How do
plant and animal cells differ? Plant cells have unique structures that animal cells do not have
specifically the cell wall and chloroplasts.
Work Session: <How will your students be actively engaged in the development of concepts
during the class period? This section may include multiple activities, different group strategies
and may occur over a period of several days. These could be EXPLORE, EXPLAIN, EXTEND or
include EVALUATE strategies such as a formative assessment.>
Closing: <How will you close the class period? How will you summarize the days learning and
tie concepts together? How will you EVALUATE your students understanding?>
