Assessment Plan:
Entry-Level: Students will brainstorm
within groups of four about what they
already know about cells. Then groups
will share some of their responses.
Lesson 1
Student Learning
Objective: Students
can differentiate the
types of cells and
compare the
similarities and
differences. They will
understand why these
differences exist.
Formative:
1) Students will fill out an exit card after
the lecture, answering the question,
What evidence supports the
Endosymbiosis Theory?
2) Students will complete a crossword
puzzle to review important terms and
there relations.
3) Students will utilize a Quizlet
vocabulary list to review the parts of the
cell and their functions.
4) All students will participate in a
question and answer white board activity.
The teacher will ask questions to review
and students will write down the answers
on their white boards and then hold them
up.
Acceptable Evidence:
Students will apply
the differences of cells
by evaluating the
evidence of cell
evolution.
Instructional
Strategies:
Communication
Collection
Collaboration
Presentation
Organization
Interaction
Summative:
1) Students will complete a project
where they design and make a 3D
model of either a plant or animal
cell. They will include labels and a
key which will reflect the function
of the parts of the cell.
2) Students will complete an end of
the unit test which will include, fill
in the blank, multiple choice and
short answer questions.
Lesson 2
Student Learning
Objective: Students
can summarize
information about the
types of cells and
evaluate varies parts
of the cell to
understand their
importance for the cell
to function.
Lesson 3
Student Learning
Objective: Students
will demonstrate their
knowledge of the
parts of the cell by
applying it and
justifying their
answers.
Acceptable Evidence:
Students are able to
identify which
features are unique to
each type of cell and
distinguish between a
prokaryotic cell, and
the two types of
eukaryotic (plant and
animal).

Acceptable Evidence:
Students can organize
information about the
parts of the cell in a
logical order.
