This lesson focuses on the following Three Dimensional Learning aspects of NGSS:ĭevelop and use a model based on evidence to illustrate the relationships between systems or between components of a system.Īlignment agreement: Thanks for your feedback! Define osmosis, diffusion and semi-permeable membranes and understand how organisms use them.ĭevelop and use a model to illustrate the hierarchical organization of interacting systems that provide specific functions within multicellular organisms.Ĭlick to view other curriculum aligned to this Performance Expectation.Construct and identify cell membrane parts.


Then they observe three teacher demonstrations that illustrate diffusion and osmosis concepts, as well as the effect of movement through a semi-permeable membrane using Lugol's solution.

They view online animations of cell membrane dynamics (links provided). Students learn about the different structures that comprise cell membranes, fulfilling part of the Research and Revise stages of the legacy cycle.
