Course Objectives


 * Primary Objectives- By the next class period students will be able to:
 * Identify the parts of an animal using slides and/or models
 * Identify the parts of a plant using slides and/or models
 * Identify unique organelles only found in animal or plant cells


 * Sub Objectives- The objectives will require that students be able to:
 * Identify the function of the organelles found in the animal cell
 * Identify the function of the organelles found in the plant cell
 * Describe everyday functions the cell performs
 * Inter-relate the functions and structures involved


 * Difficulties- Students may have difficulty:
 * Recalling the biological organization: Organelle → Cell → Tissues → Organ → Organ Systems → Organism → etc.
 * Distinguishing between animal and plant cells
 * Relating some of the functions an organ or organism performs and how the cells support this function
 * Remembering that cells are living architects that exchange information with their surroundings.


 * Real-World Contexts- There are many ways that students can use this material in the real-world, such as:
 * Determining what organelles are involved in the aerobic respiration
 * Determining what organelles are involved in the photosynthesis process
 * Understanding how proteins/enzymes are synthesized in the cells. Example) Lactase.
 * Understanding proliferation and/or apoptosis
