Diversity of Life Investigation 3 media type="custom" key="21546786"

Essential Questions There are key terms associated with microscopic life such as: Elodea, cells, dependent cells, single celled, independent, membrane, cilia, oral grove, nucleus, vacuole. Organelles, Protists || 1.) The cell is the basic unit of life. 2.) Cells have the same needs and perform the same functions as more complex organisms. 3.) Some organisms are microscopic and single celled while others are multi-celled. 4.) Microscopic organisms display diversity. || 1.) Generate evidence that paramecium are single celled, living organisms. 2.) **__Describe differences between living cells that are organisms and living cells that are NOT organisms__**. 3.) Modify the characteristics of life to include cells.

**__ ! IMPORTANT ! __****__ Reading Guidelines __**


 * Reading is a critical element of this FOSS program. It is very important that you __read__ the entire assigned reading before moving on to any written homework regarding the reading. It is helpful to do the following while reading: **


 * ** Read the title of the required reading **
 * ** Read the end of reading questions **
 * ** How do the bold faced words relate to the questions? **
 * ** How do the bold faced words relate to the title of the article? **
 * ** How does this relate to class? **
 * ** Are **** you reading to get it done or to learn? (please read to learn) **

==2.) Choose one of the three items below appropriate to your level of learning and complete it by the teacher directed deadline.==


 * Combination note-taking packet (for regular education students)


 * Modified note-taking packet (for IEP/504 students)

>
 * Enrichment homework (for gifted or any other student)
