Strand: SBI4U: Metabolic Processes
Enduring Understanding:
All metabolic processes involve chemical
changes and energy conversions.
Overall Expectations:
C1. analyse the role of metabolic
processes in the functioning of biotic and
abiotic systems, and evaluate the
importance of an understanding of these
processes and related technologies to
personal choices made in everyday life;
Specific Expectations:
C1.1 analyse the role of metabolic
processes in the functioning of and
interactions between biotic and abiotic
systems
C1.2 assess the relevance, to their
personal lives and to the community, of an
understanding of cell biology and related
technologies

Timing Lesson Sequence Strategies/Activities

0-5 min Attendance and class enters large class discussion

The Exercise Poll with required lecture
information will be displayed on the Socratic (Q and A)
smart board and students will be able note taking
to fill out responses as class is worksheet
beginning. video
exit ticket
5-20 min Reflect on Poll Answers
Take up most common responses
with the class, ask them to reflect an
discuss why they chose what they
chose and where the information they
made their decision came from.
Introduce the concept of what we will
be learning in this up and coming
unit.

20-35 min Class Video: Metabolism and Nutrition

Inform class that this is meant as an
introduction to the concepts we will
be learning, and that if there are
concepts or terms they dont
understand, its alright

35-60 min Lecture Slides: What is Metabolism?

Initiate lecture introducing the topic of
Metabolism and Metabolic
Processes.
Encourage students to take notes
and ask questions when they may
need.

Exit Ticket
Students are to answer the questions
included on the exit ticket
Teachers should prompt students to
answer truthfully as it can help them
develop lessons in a more efficient
 way

Assessment (of/for/as):

Of: As this is the first lesson of the unit, there are no assessments Of learning at this
point in time.

For: Students will demonstrate their previous understanding on the topic of metabolism
through the use of the classroom poll, as well as through the answers on their exit
tickets. This gives the teacher feed back as to their classrooms current standing on the
subject matter and allow for further lesson modifications to better suit the needs of the
current classroom.

As: The exit ticket will allow for self reflection within the student on their own abilities
and current understanding of the subject matter.
