Keystone Assignment: Case Study Dr. Hsu
SETT Framework Lesson Plans
John is
a 10th grade student who prefers to learn by hearing and watching
information be displayed, instead of solely reading information or be lectured
to. Although John’s reading comprehension is at a good level, he often gets
bored and lacks the motivation to read information out of textbooks. John is
not particularly interested in science, which is why it is important for his
interests and motivation to be peaked. John works best when he is seated at the
front of the classroom near the teacher because it helps him focus, and loves to work with his peers. It has also
been observed he works well with note-taking assistance, organizers, and
highlighters. In addition, John loves using technology, especially iPads, and
enjoys watching videos on what he is learning about.
See attached SETT forms for more information about John.

|
Methods
Anticipatory
Set:
|
While projecting
a picture of the cell membrane on the board, ask students to make
observations about the picture and discuss with partners why they think the
cell membrane is called a fluid mosaic. Ask students to share their answers
with the class after they have had a few minutes to discuss. If it is not
brought up by one of the students, be sure to bring up the fact that is is
composed of a variety of molecules.
|
Introduce
and Model New Knowledge:
|
Give a brief Prezi presentation about the
structure of the cell membrane. Pass out note packets with blanks for
students to fill throughout the presentation. Encourage students to highlight
main ideas in one color, and supporting details in another color.

Provide
Guided Practice:
|
Students will be given a cell membrane labeling
worksheet. Students will fill this out as a class as the teacher also labels
it on a photo that is projected in the board for students to follow along.
|
Provide
Independent Practice:
|
Students will watch a EDpuzzle video on the cell
membrane structure where they will have to answer 3 multiple choice questions
throughout it. Students will be given the opportunity to take additional time
to watch the video whether it be in the classroom or at home, if needed.
|
Assessment
|
Formative/Ongoing Assessment:
|
Whole class discussions, observations during group work and independent
work.
|
|
Review the multiple choice questions that were embedded in the EDpuzzle video.
Make note of any questions that were missed frequently so they can be
reviewed the next lesson.

Prezi
presentation, note taking packets, highlighters, EDpuzzle, cell membrane
labelling worksheet.

Begin this
lesson by reviewing any frequently missed questions from the EDpuzzle in the
previous lesson.
|
Introduce
and Model New Knowledge:
|
Show the class
this video about cell transport : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ptmlvtei8hw
Encourage students to take notes during the video and to write down any
questions they may have.
Give a brief Prezi presentation about the main types of transport:
simple diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion and active transport.
Students will continue taking notes and highlighting in the note packets they
already have.
|
Provide
Guided Practice:
|
As a class with the aid of the teacher, students
will complete a Venn Diagram to see the similarities and differences between
the different types of cell transport.
|

Independent Practice:
|
Students will
work with partners on this Cell
Membrane: Just Passing Through Interactive: https://pbslm-contrib.s3.amazonaws.com/WGBH/conv19/tdc02-int-membraneweb/index.html.
Students will fill out an accompanying worksheet where they write down how
each substance passes through the cell membrane. During this time meet with
the small groups to see how they are progressing with this interactive.
Provide any support or explanations as needed.

different parts of the cell membrane.
3. Explain how this all contributes to
transport across the cell membrane.

|
Methods
Anticipatory
Set:
|
Warm up to review the difference between credible and unreliable
internet sources. Project two website on the board, one being a Wikipedia page
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_membrane)
And other being
from Khan Academy (https://www.khanacademy.org/science/high-school-biology/hs-cells/hs-the-cell-membrane/a/structure-of-the-plasma-membrane)
Ask students
which source is the credible one and why. After they think about it and
discuss with partners, discuss as a class.
|
Introduce
and Model New Knowledge:
|
Introduce students to the brief research project
they will be doing during this lesson.
Project: Students are going to be working in
groups to research a component of the cell membrane that is assigned to them.
Research should include: a description of the structure, how it contributes
to the function of the cell membrane, and how it contributes to homeostasis.
Students will then work as a class to create a 3D model of the membrane using
cotton swabs, rubber bands, pipe cleaners, and straws. Each group will be
responsible for the construction of the component they were assigned. At the
end of the lesson, students will submit a paragraph written based on their
research. Students will be given the opportunity to work at home on their
paragraphs.
|
Provide
Guided Practice:
|
Briefly model how the provided materials can
represent different parts of the cell membrane.
|
Provide
Independent Practice:
|
Students are going to work in their groups to
begin researching their assigned cell membrane component. Groups will be
assigned based on ability level. Students will be given worksheets to fill
out to keep their research focused and to help them later on with their
paragraph. Research will be conducted on the students’ iPads. The teacher
will walk around to meet with the groups throughout the duration of the
project to check in on how their research/model is going and to provide any
support the students may need. The 3D model construction will occur the next
class period, where students will also turn in their paragraphs. This will
allow students to take their time on their paragraphs and to work on it at
home.
|
Assessment
|
Formative/Ongoing Assessment:
|
The teacher will participate actively while the students are working in
their small groups to address any needs the students may have.
|
|
Summative/End Of Lesson
Assessment:
|
Students will be assessed based on their contribution to the 3D model and
their individual research paragraphs.
|
Materials
|
Wikipedia, Khan
Academy, Internet access for research, research worksheets, materials for 3D
model of cell membrane.

I remember during middle school how hard and boring it was for me to learn about the cell member and its parts. I love how your lesson keeps students engaged. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteAs someone who is in the elementary education program, it's cool to see a lesson plan that's targeted towards an older demographic. I loved this lesson plan, but just thought it could definitely use more interactive technology with the kids. Otherwise your technology use was definitely very defined!
ReplyDeleteIn reviewing your assignment I found that your lessons were hands on including technology and partner work. This is essential when teaching to a varied student body. Making a lesson fun and interactive allows the student to get interested in the subject. I also followed your link to your SETT documents. You provided background information and strategies that could help the student be more involved and attentive during the lesson. Overall, good job in meeting the necessary requirements.
ReplyDeleteGreat lesson! I love the use of Venn Diagrams, they are a great educational tool. Loved the lesson on creditable sources to with using Wikipedia, so many students don't understand that. Overall great lesson. Enjoy your summer!
