6.1A-B, 6.2C-D, 6.3D, 6.4A6.12: Organisms & environments. The student knows all organisms are classified into Domains & Kingdoms. Organisms within these taxonomic groups share similar characteristics which allow them to interact with the living & nonliving parts of their ecosystem. The student is expected to:
•6.12A: understand that all organisms are composed of one or more cells.
•6.12D: identify the basic characteristics of organisms, including prokaryotic or eukaryotic, unicellular or multicellular, autotrophic or heterotrophic, & mode of reproduction, that further classify them in the currently recognized Kingdoms.

5th GRADE
•Observe the way organisms live and survive in their ecosystem by interacting with the living and non-living elements
6TH GRADE
•6.12A: understand that all organisms are composed of one or more cells.
•6.12D: identify the basic characteristics of organisms, including prokaryotic or eukaryotic, unicellular or multicellular, autotrophic or heterotrophic, & mode of reproduction, that further classify them in the currently recognized Kingdoms.
7th GRADE
•Differentiate between structure & function in plant & animal cell organelles, including cell membrane, cell wall, nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondrion, chloroplast, & vacuole.
•Recognize that according to cell theory all organisms are composed of cells & cells carry on similar functions such as extracting energy from food to sustain life.
• Organisms live and survive in an ecosystem only if their needs are met.
• All the organisms and nonliving things in an environment and how they interact with one another form an ecosystem.
• Earth is divided into six areas called biomes defined by climate: tropical rain forest, deciduous forest, taiga, tundra, desert, and grassland.

Higher level questions• “Research shows there’s a link between critical thinking skills and increased student achievement in the
classroom.” (Moore & Stanley, 2010)
• Higher level questions must be planned in order to be implemented effectively in the classroom.
• Levels of Questions
• Knowledge
• Comprehension
• Application
• Analysis
• Synthesis
• Evaluation
• Plan and provide a variety of questions at each level and build student knowledge and critical thinking by providing Higher Level Questions.
Lower Levels of questions

•Interactive Word Wall- Current, working models with student contributions • Interactive Word Walls Article: http://learningcenter.nsta.org/files/ss1103_45.pdf
• “Word walls can be arranged on cupboard doors or classroom walls, or hung from the ceiling with wire and string.”
• “Maximum instructional potential and efficiency are achieved when interactive word-wall construction is aligned with lessons and students are allowed to participate in the process. As a result, walls are usually built over many days and are finished as a unit nears completion. Word walls support units and are changed or replaced as units change.”
