50 minutes
Computer, Powerpoint, Key
Question Handout, Graphic
organizers, Pencils
BEFORE:
Pass out graphic organizers on:
1.) Bacteria effects on daily life
2.) Cell morphologies
3.) Cell arrangements
o Have the students fill
them out as the topics
are discussed in class
Pass out key question sheet
o Remind students that this

is a good way to help
them organize their notes
Ask questions to activate prior
knowledge
o *See the top of the
attached lesson outline**
DURING:
Use Powerpoint named
Bacterial Cell M&A
Detailed outline attached has
additional info to supplement
the PowerPoint.
Key questions from the
handout are highlighted on the
outline.
o Ask the class the
questions in denoted in
all caps on the outline
before pulling up the
answer on the PPT to see
if they have any ideas on
the topic beforehand.
When discussing the different
cell arrangements and
morphologies, prompt
students to tell you something
that the specific thing looks
like (i.e. bacillus looks like a
TicTac)
AFTER:
Pull up the Recap slide at the
end of the PPT Go over it and
ask if there are any questions
about the material.
