=Stage 2 - Determine Acceptable Evidence.=

•Students will make another podcast discussing the relationships between DNA, proteins, and amino acids. •Students will create an inspiration flow chart on mitosis and meiosis and how each one effects an organism. •Students will conduct a lab on how different factors effect cells and then create a comic life on what they have learned in that lab. •Students will create another short movie on how certain bio-molecules effect cells in the body •Students will watch some TV shows on animals and see if you can identify how cells are helping that specific animal, blog about what they have learned. || •Peer grading on documentaries where fellow students fill out rubric on what they think the grade should be. •Paired discussions on the movies to ensure that everyone gets the main points of all the documentaries. || =Assessment Task Blue Print=

//**Through what authentic performance task will students demonstrate understandings?**//
 * **Task Description:** **(T)** ||
 * The Students will be interns for National Geographic and are all competing for a job as a junior field researcher. The competition is to make a documentary on an animal and how cells, in the animal, determine its life. the students should look at all aspects of that animal and how cells will help it complete everyday tasks. There must be a written report on the animal showing how cells determine it lifestyle and impacts its everyday life. In addition the students must create an imovie that is made to be a documentary on the animal they have chosen. When the documentaries are finished the students must present them to a board of executives as a sort of job interview. The board members will decide which one is the best and decide who gets the job. ||
