=Stage 1 - Identify Desired Results= E3- Cells Grade 6-8- Cellular Structure and Function Students describe the hierarchy of organization and function in organisms, and the similarities and differences in structure, function, and needs among and within organisms. ||
 * **Establish Goals (MLR):** **(G)** ||
 * Maine Learning Results: Science and Technology- E. The Living Ecosystems

//What understandings are desired?//
•Organisms have similarities and differences in structure, function, and needs. •The similarities and differences in structure, function, and needs are both among and within organisms. ||
 * **//Students will understand that://** **(U)** ||
 * •Each organism has hierarchy in their organization and function.

//What essential questions will be considered?//
•How are organisms similar and different in structure, function, and needs? •Why are there similarities and differences among and within the structure, function, and needs of organisms? ||
 * **Essential Questions:** **(Q)** ||
 * •Why is there hierarchy in the organization and function of organisms?

//What key knowledge and skills will students acquire as a result of this unit?//
•Sequences and timelines including the building block of an organ system (cell-->Tissues-->Organs-->Organ systems), the cell cycle and cellular reproduction. •Critical Details including those of the cell cycle, meiosis and mitosis, organelle structure and function of the different cell types, and cellular metabolism, regulation, and movement. || •Describe the basic function carried out by cells within organisms. •Illustrate the relationship among cells, tissue, organs and organ systems, including how tissues and organs serve the needs of organisms. •Test that all living things are composed of cells ranging from one to millions. •Compare the structure systems and interactions that allow different organisms to protect themselves. •Consider the methods of extracting energy from food and elimination of waste. •Recognize ways cells self regulate, reproduce and coordinate movement. ||
