TheCell

For our final project (Kate Anderson, Brandon Fremd, Amanda Lefkowitz, Matthew Woods) we focused on the cell unit for the Living Environment curriculum. The project contains an overview of the daily topics. There are 4 main topics- Organelles, Cell Transport, Energy, and Enzymes. Under the main topic, each day has an objective, aim, lesson summary, findings, and any materials (including lesson plans).

You can find our project here: []

We are looking for help/comments in the following areas: - organelles - What kind of data can I show to have students figure out that it is the mitochondria that is not working in Lilly? -Energy- Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are two hugely important concepts for students to understand. Based on these lessons do you think students will get enough time and practice with the concepts? Do you have any other suggestions for how we could improve our execution of these topics? Enzymes- Do the labs seem too complicated for students to be able to follow? If so, do you have ideas for simplifying them? - Overall- Where else can you see community involvement in this unit? - Overall- We plan on keeping a "Lilly pad" with all of our findings as we go through the unit, but how do we ensure we don't lose students on the way?

Thank you!
