Overview of unit/lessons/activities (assumptions of prior knowledge/learning)

Biology 11: Curriculum Outcomes

317 - compare and contrast mechanisms used by organisms to maintain homeostasis

316-5 - use organisms found in a local or regional ecosystem to demonstrate an understanding of fundamental principles of taxonomy

214-2, 214-7, 212-1 - identify questions, limitations, and alternatives inherent in a classification system

213-6, 215-1 - use library and electronic tools to collect and communicate information on techniques used in the classification process

313-1 analyze and explain the life cycle of a representative organism from each kingdom, including a representative virus

316-6 describe the anatomy and physiology of a representative organism from each kingdom, including a representative virus

116-2 analyze and describe examples where scientific understanding was enhanced or revised as a result of the invention of a technology

116-4 analyze and describe examples where technologies were developed based on scientific understanding

116-7 analyze natural and technological systems to interpret and explain their structure and dynamics

ICT outcomes

BOC 12.1 (relates to 9.1 – 9.4) use a wide variety of technology, demonstrate a clear understanding of technological applications, and consistently apply appropriate technology to solve curriculum problems
SEHI 12.3 (relates to 9.1 – 9.4) critically analyze the impacts of evolving technologies on themselves, societies, and the environment
PTS 12.4 (relates to 9.4, 9.5) evaluate, select and use a range of media, and information and communication technology, to create, edit, and publish their work independently
CT 12.1 (relates to 9.1) use language, in a range of aural, print, media and electronic forms to explore and express their perceptions, feelings, ideas and attitudes; refine their thinking; and interact, negotiate, and collaborate with others in order to build their understanding
CT 12.3 (relates to 9.1) design and create electronic documents to accomplish curricular tasks

 

 

Projected timeline for preparation and for carrying out activities

 Assign the project and allow 1 and a half to 2 weeks of independent research.

Equipment Requirements: (computers, software, etc)

 Computers with access to the internet.  Access to Ebsco.  Students will email their articles and summaries to the teacher.  Two copies of the crossword will be handed in. One blank, the other filled in with the correct answers.

Teaching materials provided (Blacklines, worksheets, templates, teacher materials)

 Friend or Foe project.doc

Resources available for teacher/student use (websites, references, etc)

  

Detailed instructions for each activity or lesson (teacher notes, activity information, learning strategies, teacher role, student roles)

 

Student products expected

This project will have two parts: a periodicals search and a crossword.

 

Samples (include teacher notes, assessment information, student work if available)

 Assessment Friend or Foe Project Rubric

Logistics (organization, grouping, management issues, access to technology)

 Teacher must ensure that the students can access Ebsco through their school library.

Assessment information (e.g., rubrics for products and/or process)
