Do Now: Guess which foods have the most carbohydrates per serving. Guess which have the most fat per serving. Discuss at your table to choose one of the foods on the front table. Come to a consensus and choose someone to be the reporter and share with the class. Share some snacks and be ready to get to work.
Learning Goal: Create and use a model of the energy and matter relationships between organisms in an ecosystem to be able to predict the effect of an outside disruption in an ecosystem. Driving Question: How do events in an ecosystem affect the balance of energy flow and the health and survival of the organisms Do lions only eat zebras? “Why do lions eat different prey?” “Do these prey only eat one type of plant? “Why do they eat different types of plants?” Building Food Chains and Webs Lesson Handout - in class, but you can copy this and use it if you are not present during the lesson. Ticket out: If you had to be vegan, what high protein plant food would you most like to eat?

Do Now: Watch MC Rodent give the report on the Round 2 Results of Wild North America and Collective.
Finish the Lion vs Elephant Digestion Lab...almost Do Now: Get your MMM bracket and get ready to get caught up.
Learning Goal: We are using models of macromolecules to learn how macromolecules can be broken down to be used as energy or building blocks for an organism's cells. How do different animals get the energy and building blocks they need to drive cell processes and build new cells and tissues in the body?
Students will be asked to respond to the question, "Which species has a larger gain from the digestion of their food?" (lions or elephants) After students have a chance to respond, we will use the thinking routine, "What makes you say that?" to encourage deeper thinking and a more detailed description of your evidence for their answer. Other supporting questions during small groups that may be posed include: “What are lions made of?” “How do they get more of these materials to grow?” “What are elephants made of?” “How do they get more of these materials to grow?” “Do lions and elephants get their raw materials from different sources?” Half Day
Do Now: Show the MC Marmot video of March Mammal Madness results Quizlet Live to practice our vocabulary. You can access the Quizlet set here. Do Now: Find your March Mammal Madness Bracket and get ready to watch the battles as narrated by MC Marmot! Essential Question: Do animals eat food only to satisfy their need for energy? 3-D Learning Goal: Students will model and explore how both carnivores and herbivores use food for both the matter and energy it provides. Engagement Game: Teams take turns choosing food items off the front desk to try to get the most grams of protein per serving. Winners get... What do proteins do in your body? How do you get each of your specific and different proteins? Do you have to eat muscle (meat) to build your own muscle? Lesson: Lion and Elephant Digestion Lab Handout Students will work in groups to model digestion of different macromolecules and how the smaller food molecules get used in the body. Mind-body Break mid-lesson: Make a human model of a protein being digested and then building a new protein. - What does each person represent? - What is happening? Ticket out Jot on a piece of paper: How can a human build muscle if they are vegan? March Mammal Madness MC Marmot Video Results Twitter thread Fancy Summary Finish the assessment from last week
FInish the Macromolecules activity Do Now: Grab your March Madness sheet and be ready to watch the Wild Card Battle. You can also read about it here Learning Goal: Today we are using models to learn about the structure and function of the macromolecules that make up all living things so we can construct an explanation supporting the claim, "Elephants and Lions need energy to survive." Students will learn to go beyond the obvious and simple explanation to include specific details and interpretation. Assessment completion will be on Wednesday Macromolecules: What are the building blocks of life? Handout We will finish this today. - Any time you encounter a new model, stop and do your own See-Think-Wonder if we do not do one as a class. This slows down your brain to actually notice the parts of a model and will help you figure out what is going on in the model, what is it representing. - We will work through this information by stopping to check in and discuss what we have figured out before and after each section. At each model, we will do a class See-Think-Wonder The claim, evidence reasoning explanation at the end we will model together and then leave part for you to complete on your own. Discussion with your group throughout this lesson is encouraged. If extra time, we will look at the upcoming battle and research the combatants to argue about who might win and why. Owl Naming Contest - Saw-whet owl, injured by a car, in rehabilitation needs a name because it will likely become a teaching owl. Image link Quizlet of vocabulary we have encountered today. Let's play Quizlet Live!! Ticket out: Tell me one way See Think Wonder helps you understand the scientific concepts we are learning. Learning Goal: Today we are using models to learn about the structure and function of the macromolecules that make up all living things so we can construct an explanation supporting the claim, "Elephants and Lions need energy to survive."
Do Now: Find your march Mammal Madness sheet and look up information on the WILD CARD combatants (Mexican Free-tailed Bat vs Florida Bonneted Bat) that will do battle tonight at 7 pm Central Time on Twitter. Find a partner to talk to. Take a minute and "use your knowledge of the bats to argue for your chosen winner. What characteristics of the bats might make them more likely to win?
Assessment completion will be on Wednesday Macromolecules: What are the building blocks of life? Handout - New groups - Any time you encounter a new model, stop and do your own See-Think-Wonder if we do not do one as a class. This slows down your brain to actually notice the parts of a model and will help you figure out what is going on in the model, what is it representing. - We will work through this information by stopping to check in and discuss what we have figured out before and after each section. At each model, we will do a class See-Think-Wonder We stopped after page 2. Turn in for teacher check. Ticket out: Your packet Do now: Gathering Warm-up game
