Introduction to Cells, Cell Types and cell specialization

AIMS/OBJECTIVES

The overall aim for this module is to introduce IB students to the biology IB diploma subject and in particular to prepare them with foundation knowledge of the cell, cell types and cell specialization. This is both a theoretical and practical course with teacher demonstrations, student led experiments and group work to complement the individual tests, projects and exam.

Essential Ideas:
A guide to find the answers to
1) What are the common features to all cells and what features differ
2) How is microscopy used to investigate cell structure?
3) How do molecules of lipid and proteins assemble into biological membranes
4) what are the advantages of compartmentalization in cells
5)how are differentiated cells adapted to their function
6) what factors affect the movement of water in and out of the cell
6) how do plant and animal cells
differ in regulation of water movement

common structures in all living organisms
introduction to cell membranes -pro and eukaryote cells
introduction to organelles in pro and eukaryote cells

SKILLS:

-Personal
(A list of the personal skills focused on in this topic - see ATLs)
- Inquirers: Introduce the the cell from a personal  context
- Thinking skills: Laboratory and theory
- Risk taking: New situations from example working with cells
- Communication: Listening, presenting, debating
- Reflective: evaluation of their own knowledge improvements
- Critical thinking (TOK): Our current knowledge is that emotions are the product of activity in the brain, rather than in the heart. Is knowledge based on science more valid than knowledge based on intuition?

-Social skills developed through the following activities:
- Pair and group laboratory experiments
- Pair posters &/or film on cells
- Student group debates on stem cells
