	Grade 5 Science Unit 7
There's a Smaller World Essential Question: What evidence can we provide that organisms are made of one or more cells?

Enduring Understandings	Resources
Cells Living things are made of cells we can only see through microscopes.	Single-Celled Organisms Further explore the organisms found in fresh water. Biology for Kids- Cells Connect and compare your background knowledge about cells using this site. Plant and Animal Cells View animated models of plant and animal cells. Create Plant and Animal Cell Model Extend your knowledge and skills by creating a model. Virtual Pond Dip Observe common organisms found in a pond in this virtual pond dip. Singled-Cell versus Multi-Celled Singled-Cell versus Multi-Celled 2 Learn about the needs of single-celled organisms to familiar multi-celled organisms. Cells Alive Explore this site to demonstrate the presence of microscopic organisms. Careers in Science: Microbiology: Frame of Discipline Learn about a career in Microbiology Cell Craft (2016) Have students paly this interactive game and learn more about the parts of a cell. They are a pseudopod and are able to move around within the game.
Project: A Smaller World in Our Big Town	Resources
Student Outcome: Describe and compare the needs of a cell to organizations found within a town.	Research Discover the parts of a cell and its structure and functions.

Teacher Notes
Standards	Resources
Content Standard: 3.5.B.1.a. Use microscopes, other magnifying instruments, or video technology to observe, describe, and compare single celled organisms, such as amoeba, euglena, paramecium, etc. 3.5.B.1.b Describe the observable behaviors of singled celled organisms. Technology Standard: 5.A.1.a Select relevant information from technology resources.	Virtual Pond Dip Single-Celled Organisms Segment
Content Standard: 3.5.B.1.c Site evidence from data gathered that supports the idea that most single celled organisms have needs similiar to those of multicellular organisms. Technology Standard: 5.A.1.a Select relevant information from technology resources.	Single Celled Organisms Video Segmen What Goes On Inside Cells? Biology for Kids- Cells Plant and Animal Cells Singled-Cell versus Multi-Celled Singled-Cell versus Multi-Celled 2
Content Standard: 3.5.B.2. Investigate and provide evidence that living things are made mostly of cells that can be seen and studied only through a microscope. 3.5.B.2.a. Use microscopes and/or other video technology to investigate and describe that some organisms are composed of collection of similar cells working together to meet basic needs of a "colony" of cells. 3.5.B.2.b. Use microscopes and pictures to investigate, describe with drawings, and compare the cells in a variety of multicellular organisms, such as cells in elodea and onions; muscles cells, nerve cells, skins cells, etc. in animals. Technology Standard: 5.A.1.a Select relevant information from technology resources.	Cells Alive A Variety of Human Cells Create Plant and Animal Cell Model Jeopardy
Content Standard: 3.5.B.2.c Select information gathered from readings that provides evidence that some organisms' cells vary greatly in appearance and perform very different roles in the organism. Technology Standard: 5.A.1.a Select relevant information from technology resources.	Careers in Science: Microbiology
