Instructional Ideas

• Provide extension activities to be completed at home over a long holiday break, or to a class member in need of independent study materials
• Set up science centers in the classroom or science lab; choose activities to be completed in one, or more, center while lab work and/or experiments are being conducted in others 

Classroom Considerations

• If implementing the assessment rubric, be sure to adjust scoring according to the lessons you choose to conduct 
• This unit was designed to meet the needs of students who are classified as GATE; however, the lessons can be completed by learners that are capable of self-guided, independent work
• Materials for cell model building and lab work, as well as copies are required

Pros

• Assessment tips, tricks, and rubrics are included
• Extension activities and links are provided 

Cons

• Some links within the resource do no work; however, working links can be found below in Included Materials
