Teacher: Gainous

Unit/Session: Bacteria and InstaGerm Account  

Date of Instruction:  1/11/2020

Standard/s: S7L1. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to investigate the diversity of living organisms and how they can be compared scientifically.

a. Develop and defend a model that categorizes organisms based on common characteristics. 

Learning Target/ Teaching Point: I can describe the six kingdoms of life.

Success Criteria: 

• Identify and compare the six kingdoms 

• Explain characteristics that make each kingdom unique 

• Describe the difference between unicellular and multicellular organisms. 

Opening (I Do)

TKES 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7. 8,10

GUIDED PRACTICE:  

Students will fill out their charted notes on Archaea and Eubacteria. 

When notes are finished, go over the instagerm assignment explaining to students what to do. Pass out rubric and assignment directions and detail to students expectations. 

*Goal by the end of class: complete InstaGerm research using the chromebooks

INDEPENDENT/COLLABORATIVE PRACTICE/DIFFERENTIATION:

Students will choose a strand of bacteria to research on and will create an instagerm account detailing that bateria’s characteristics. 

*Quiz on dichotomous keys

Closing  (We Check)

Describe the instructional process that will be used to close the lesson and check for student understanding .

TKES : 1,2,3, 4,5,6,7,8

SUMMARIZE/CHECK FOR UNDERSTANDING:

Review characteristics of bacteria with the class using notes. 

Formative Assessment : 

Oral Q & A recap of the bacteria kingdom
