p. 59 Make a tab for Plant Biology.
p.59 Create a "cover" for your new Biology section. Format it like a text book cover. The class came up with the criteria for it to be "good"...
....Title is big and easily read, large graphics (can have many for interest), COLOR, neatness, shows pride in your work
p.60-61 My Ideas about the SUPER PLANT project rough draft work here This page is for you to take notes and jot down pictures and ideas that you will use for the Super Plant project. By getting your ideas down on paper as we go, creating the final project will be much easier and most of the work will already be done for you. *** I am looking to see your planning not final draft drawing and writing.
p. 61 ALL YOUR CER WRITING WILL GO HERE
p.62 This is where your final Super Plant project will go.
p.63 Reflections/ assessments
p.64 PLANT CELL review. QUIZLET On the NOTEBOOK PAGE 64 ONLY you will make a vocabulary study tool. One side of the cardstock you will glue the word, the other side you will glue the definition/ function. Use the example on the front table to see how to put it together.

p.65 LEAVES Check out this website go through the information about leaves. When you get to page 2 do the "Now try a Test Bite" when you are done with page 3 do the Now try a Test Bite - higher tier.
For each card you will be making a title bar (1.2cm) from the far right edge
Card 1 On the FRONT: Title: Leaf Draw and label Leaf Cross Section.
On the BACK: What is a chloroplast and what does it do? Biology 4 Kids Usborne - Cell parts function of chloroplast chloroplast structure and function
LEAVES (updated)
Card 2 On the FRONT: Title: Water Retention
Write a description of the function of a cuticle. Describe how a thick cuticle
would help in hot dry climates and direct sun vs cooler climates and indirect sun.
On the BACK: Title: Water Loss. Write the function of guard cells. Draw a picture
to help explain how the guard cells regulate the amount of water loss.
Label stoma and guard cell on your diagrams.
Card 3 Title: Nutrition (Front) For each of the following, tell how it enters the cell and how it exits.
Use this resource to assist you. WATER, OXYGEN, CARBON DIOXIDE, NITROGEN. You can use the back of the card if you run out of room. EXPLAIN how carnivorous plants work! Watch a video Venus Fly Trap
Card 4 Title: Protection (Front) Research 4 or more ways plants have developed adaptations to protect themselves from predators. These will help you make decisions or your future project.
(For ideas, check out Reserection Fern, Cactus spines, taste, hairy leaves,chemical defenses,
Black walnut - root defense, needles, tiny leaves etc) defenses 1 video 2 What Plants talk about
Card 5 Title: Energy (Front) Using the Leaf notes, the information toward the end, compare how much energy it "costs" for a plant to make these types of leaves vs how much it gets out of these leaves. COMPARE BIG LEAVES VS SMALL LEAVES VS NEEDLES!
(Back) give some examples, from the reading, that would help you make a decision of what type of leaves to pick.
p.66 Define osmosis . In class we will discuss how osmosis works in the cycling of matter (water) through the roots and stems. In class osmosis simulation. Quick check on your understanding.
Extend your learning: video osmosis and hypotonic and hypertonic related to solutes for examples beyond plants Lab activity and set up
p. 67 ***REVIEW Science diagrams ISN p. 7 if you forgot how to make a diagram.
Step 1: Front of index card: Place a title (WATER CYCLE) on the top.
Create a diagram of the water cycle. Label each of the parts (don’t forget transpiration). Labels written horizontally.
Arrows showing direction of movement.
Back of index card: Describe the plant’s role in the cycling of water in the water
cycle. How does water go through a plant?
Step 2: ISN p. 67 Front of index card: Place a title (CARBON CYCLE) on the top.
Create a diagram of the Carbon Cycle. Label each of the parts
Labels horizontal. Arrows showing direction of movement.
Back of index card: Describe the plant’s role in the cycling of carbon and oxygen
in the carbon cycle.
p. 68 Draw a diagram that will demonstrate your understanding of the process of photosynthesis. You may use the online resources provided below.
-
Identify the materials that are needed for and produced during the photosynthesis process.
-
Identify and describe the parts of the plant that are involved in the photosynthesis process.
-
Identify the primary source of energy that is needed by all living things.
You will know you have done a good job if you can make an accurate diagram (include #1-3 above) and the diagram includes descriptions of what is happening during photosynthesis. NOT A COPY OF A DIAGRAM OFF THE INTERNET. Not due until Monday end of class.
Website 2 Find out why leaves are green, and the role of chlorophyll.
Website 3 Leaves are a plant's food factories - see how they work.
Website 5 Review key facts about photosynthesis.

Go back to p.22-23 and make a sketch of what your plant is going to look like. Use the outlines to fill in the key points for your paragraphs. Be ready to work on your poster Day 1
