8th Grade Science Today we will Monday, April 15, 2013 7.12 (C)
recognize levels of organization in plants and animals, including
cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and organisms; 7.12
(D)differentiate between structure and function in plant and animal
cell organelles, including cell membrane, cell wall, nucleus,
cytoplasm, mitochondrion, chloroplast, and vacuole; 7.12
(F)recognize that according to cell theory all organisms are
composed of cells and cells carry on similar functions such as
extracting energy from food to sustain life. Two Classifications*
of Cells
Prokaryotic Cells 1st form of life Have NO nucleus DNA is free
(called the nucleloid) ONLY form Unicellular organisms (one-celled)
Example: Bacteria (e. coli, staph, salmonella) Eukaryotic Cells
Evolved from prokaryotes Have a nucleus with bundled DNA Can form
unicellular or multi-cellular organisms. Example: Amoebas, plants
animals, fungi, protists *Note: There many TYPES of cells (skin,
muscle, hair, sex, etc.,); these are the two categories that ALL
cells fall under! It is the DNA within cells that controls what
type of cell they will be. Cell Organelles Organelle &
Function
*Cell Membrane: Outer cell lining for protection *Cytoplasm:
Jelly-like liquid that organelles float in *Nucleus: Control center
that contains organisms DNA *DNA: The hereditary material of
organisms *Vacuoles: Store nutrients and waste *Mitochondria:
Jelly-bean shaped producers of energy (ATP) for cell Plant
Organelles PLANT-SPECIFIC organelles: *Cell Wall: Gives plant cells
shape and structure (rigidity), made of cellulose *Chloroplast:
Site where photosynthesis in plant cells occurs *Large central
vacuole: Stores waste and water EVALUATE: What are some
similarities between plant and animal cells? What do you notice
about the vacuole of the plant cell? Why do you think plants
evolved to have cell walls and animals did not? Parts of a Cell 8th
Grade Science Monday, April 15, 2013 A cell is like a 8th Grade
Science Monday, April 15, 2013 Draw and label an analogy of the
cell to something you are familiar with. Possibilities: a school,
an airport, a factory, a mall, the solar system, etc. Example: In a
grocery store, the sliding doors are like the cell membrane because
it decides what goes in and out of the store. The shelves are like
the vacuoles because they store materials. The workers are like the
mitochondria because they are the energy of the cell, and the store
manager is like the nucleus because they tell the store and the
people in it what to do. For the topographic maps below, Identify
the landform shown.
8th Grade Science Do Now Tuesday, April 16, 2013 For the

Essential Question 8th Grade Science Today we will Wednesday &
Thursday, April 17 & 18, 2013 7.12(B) identify the main
functions of the systems of the human organism, including the
circulatory, respiratory, skeletal, muscular, digestive, excretory,
reproductive, integumentary, nervous, and endocrine systems;
8.10(A)recognize that the Sun provides the energy that drives
convection within the atmosphere and oceans, producing winds and
ocean currents; (B)identify how global patterns of atmospheric
movement influence local weather using weather maps that show high
and low pressures and fronts 6.(9)Force, motion, and energy. The
student knows that the Law of Conservation of Energy states that
energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it just changes form.
The student is expected to: (A)investigate methods of thermal
energy transfer, including conduction, convection, and radiation;
(B)verify through investigations that thermal energy moves in a
predictable pattern from warmer to cooler until all the substances
attain the same temperature such as an ice cube melting Body

April 17 & 18, 2013 One day during cooking class, the teacher,
Mrs. Jones, was revealing her secrets for preparing perfect sauces.
When she ordered us to the stoves to prepare our assignments, she
said, Now dont forget to use wooden spoons. As I stirred my sauce,
I contemplated the physics behind the mystery of the wooden spoon
and decided it must have something to do with heat conduction. I
approached Mrs. Jones to test my theory. Why wooden spoons? I
asked. Do you know why Mrs. Jones wanted the class to use a wooden
spoon? BRAIN BREAK 8th Grade Science Wednesday & Thursday,
