3 Unit Summary This 5 week unit on Plants and the process of Photosynthesis is designed to be used in grade 11 Biology with level 2 or 3 students. It is part of a larger unit on Cell Energetics taught in the fall. As a result of this unit, students should be able to explain the role that photosynthesis plays in the delicate relationship between plants and animals. Students will ultimately describe how animals rely on plants for their survival. Rebecca Shomo/Jennifer Michnowicz (revision) DRAFT: 7/21/06 Farmington Public Schools 3
4 Stage One: Standards Stage One identifies the desired results of the unit including the broad understandings, the unit outcome statement and essential questions that focus the unit, and the necessary knowledge and skills. The Understanding by Design Handbook, 1999 Essential Understandings and Content Standards ESU #1 Scientific inquiry is an ongoing process building knowledge about events and phenomena frame, hypothesize, design, conduct, analyze, and communicate and defend the results of a controlled scientific experiment ESU #4 The behavior of the physical world can be interpreted, understood and predicted in terms of a few fundamental principles interpret and make predictions about the physical world by recognizing that waves, sound, and light pervade the physical world, and by applying their properties and behaviors ESU #7 There is unity among the diverse types of life on Earth. * 7.24 describe life functions necessary to maintain homeostasis * 7.25 explain energy flow and transformations among living systems, including respiration and photosynthesis * 7.26 recognize how structure and function compliment each other and enable organisms to adapt to their environments ESU #9 Constancy, patterns, change, and evolution permeate all systems. * 9.16 identify some factors that can disturb equilibrium and demonstrate their effects *9.17 illustrate that during the process of evolution, the present system arises from forms of the past * 9.19 interpret trends and evaluate patterns of change using tables, graphs, and equations 9.20 formulate predictions based upon identified patterns Rebecca Shomo/Jennifer Michnowicz (revision) DRAFT: 7/21/06 Farmington Public Schools 4
5 Unit Outcome Statement Consistently aligning all instruction with this statement will maintain focus in this unit. As a result of this unit on Plants and Photosynthesis, students will know and understand the role and process of photosynthesis: that plants convert light energy to chemical energy that plants (from their smallest to largest components) have specialized structures for carrying on photosynthesis (production of ATP, sugar and other molecules) photosynthesis (carried on by autotrophs) is the fundamental process that supports all other living organisms that different types of plants have different adaptations Essential Questions These questions help to focus the unit and guide inquiry. HOW DO PLANTS LIGHT UP YOUR LIFE? What do plants make "Out of Thin Air"? What role does photosynthesis play in the delicate relationship between plants and animals? How do we get from sun to sandwich? Rebecca Shomo/Jennifer Michnowicz (revision) DRAFT: 7/21/06 Farmington Public Schools 5
6 Knowledge and Skills The Knowledge and Skills section includes the key facts, concepts, principles, skills, and processes called for by the content standards and needed by students to reach desired understandings. The Understanding by Design Handbook, 1999 Knowledge Directions: The student will know: That different types of plants exist, from mosses to maple trees. Land adaptations that evolved in plants such as: Pollen to prevent sperm from drying out Vascular system to transport water from the ground up to entire plant Cuticle on the leaf surface to prevent drying out. That the visible wavelengths are the only portion of the electromagnetic spectrum used in photosynthesis Plant pigments capture light energy for photosynthesis Photosynthesis includes the conversion of light energy to chemical potential energy The anatomy of the following photosynthetic structures: a leaf, plant cells, and chloroplast How the reactants of photosynthesis get to the reaction site and how the products get out. The structure and function of ATP as the energy carrier in cells. The effects of environmental changes upon photosynthesis (the concept of limiting factors for sugar production) Skills/Processes The student will be able to: Apply the scientific method and write a laboratory report Ability to organize data Microscope use to view cross section view of a leaf Wet mount preparation of a Leek leaf Use of a graduated cylinder to measure liquid volume Be able to generate a biological drawing (using pencil, labels without crossing lines, etc.) Use a spectrophotometer and record meaningful data Measure with a metric ruler Carry out basic algebraic functions to compute rf values Thinking Skills Categorizing photosynthetic terms and structures by identifying the associations among them Predicting guard cell responses to environmental changes Analysis of a graph of the electromagnetic spectrum of visible light Infer and evaluate spectrophotometer data concerning the dependence of photosynthetic activity on light Distinguish between cause and effect in the simulation of environmental influences on photosynthesis Identify significant limiting factors for photosynthesis Infer how plants are essential for the survival of all living organisms by recognizing long range consequences of their destruction Rebecca Shomo/Jennifer Michnowicz (revision) DRAFT: 7/21/06 Farmington Public Schools 6
7 Stage Two: Assessment Package Stage Two determines the acceptable evidence that students have acquired the understandings, knowledge and skills identified in Stage One. Directions: Authentic Performance Task Goal: Your task is to work with a partner and help solve the problem Luke is having in his greenhouse on the surface of Mars so he can survive. Role: You are a member of a botany support team on earth responsible for helping, the astronaut survive within his greenhouse on Mars.
