Prokaryotic And Eukaryotic Cells (6th Grade), Samantha Bos

Understanding by Design: Complete Collection

This unit is meant to provide a concrete and hands-on approach to introducing cells and differences between prokaryotic cells (cells without a nucleus), and eukaryotic cells (cells with a nucleus). Certain organelles and their functions are introduced, although this is covered much more in depth in 7th grade; the unit is based on the TEKS (Texas Standards).

The conclusion of the unit is a fun lab in which students practice using the scientific method as well microscopes to collect data. Students will be expected to apply their knowledge to identify the eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells provided on the slides. …


Ap Chemistry: Bonding And Intermolecular Forces (11th-12th Grade), Carrie Duesing Jun 2016

Ap Chemistry: Bonding And Intermolecular Forces (11th-12th Grade), Carrie Duesing

Understanding by Design: Complete Collection

This unit is designed for Advanced Placement Chemistry as a review and extension of topics introduced in first year chemistry. Students will review the different types of bonds and intermolecular forces to help them make predictions about the properties of materials and analyze data and draw conclusions. In class, students will utilize this information to better understand how they can predict the properties of materials and how scientific data help us understand properties and interactions of materials.

The unit culminates with an inquiry lab where students are tasked with deducing the type of bonding in a sample of a solid …
