Biology (Grade 1, Semester 1)

This document provides an overview of a biology curriculum for grade 1, semester 1. It covers two learning outcomes related to cell biology: BI.1.01 which focuses on analyzing factors related to disease transmission and classification, and BI.1.02 which compares and contrasts structures and functions of cells in plants, animals, protists and bacteria. The curriculum utilizes the SEPUP textbook and includes laboratory activities using microscopes to observe cells. It aims to teach students about cellular structure and function and their relationship to health, disease, and the environment.

Biology (Grade 1, Semester 1)

Cell Biology
Weeks: Week 01 - Week 01
BI.1.01:
HSS-BI 1.01

Analyze the factors of diseases eradication:

1) Explain the factors of spreading, controlling and transmitting of each disease;
2) Classify disease as infectious or non-infectious;
3) Study Malaria and sickle cell anemia;( Amoeba dysentary) Formatted: Font color: Text 1, Highlight
4) Explain how the disease affects cells. Formatted: Font color: Red

Concepts Skills Formatted: Font color: Red

1. Cell Theory Disease. 1. Describe trends and relationships in data

a. Infectious or noninfectious and factors 2. Develop and support conclusions based on evidence
b. Vectors 3. Use the microscope to differentiate between healthy Formatted: Font color: Text 1, Highlight
c. Non-infectious factors and unhealthy cells Formatted: Font color: Text 1
2. Relation between diseases and economic
development
 case study: Malaria (from SEPUP only)( Formatted: Highlight
hepatites B and C) Formatted: Font color: Red

Essential Question(s): What threatens life?

Big Idea:
Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in organisms. They act as indicators of being healthy.
Changes may occur according to the external and internal effects of the environment.

Comments:
Studying diseases in this learning outcome is considered an introduction, this learning Outcome is the thread
which ties the unit together. It begins by discussing the importance of disease. In order to understand
disease and disease interventions students need to know about the healthy cell - its structures, how they
function normally and how they are changed by disease. Students return to this LO after studying the whole
unit. In WEEK14 they design possible interventions for a disease prevalent in Egypt. They present their work
to the class, arguing from evidence about the justification of their interventions and benefit versus trade-offs
involved.
(Also wanted to put bilharzia in as a disease to study rather than malaria since Egypt does not have malaria Formatted: Font color: Red
and the diseases have similar vectors (an external organism as a carrier). A case study on bilharzia would
need to be written to substitute for malaria.)

may never have handled laboratory equipment before. These initial labs have them using the microscope
and learning to draw in a scientific way as they study cells.

Essential Question(s): How does structure determine function?

Big Idea:
Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in organisms. Diseases may have a cellular basis.
Environmental factors may impact cells.
They act as indicators of being healthy. Changes may occur according to the external and internal effects of
the environment.

Comments:
These activities include two laboratories which explore the nature of membranes and lay the groundwork for
the more detailed explanation of how and why a cell membrane works as it does. Doing these laboratories in
advance will make learning the details more meaningful to students and leads to deeper understanding and
higher retention.

Essential Question(s): What are proteins and why are they important?

Comments:
Again, there is a very important lab in this section (Act 11). In this lab students actually design their own
experiment with a testable hypothesis. This is their first opportunity to practice this extremely important skill in
science.
This Learning Outcome includes an activity from the Genetics unit (16) which goes into detail about protein Formatted: Font color: Red
transcription and translation. This activity is not used in Grade 2 and is logical to include in the study of
proteins as long as the class understands enough about DNA as the storage spot for the codes that make
protein. The teacher should preassess that knowledge in the students and their ability to benefit from Act 16
from the Genetics unit.

Capstone Connection:
A healthy environment includes good temperature control and clean water for the human body to function

Create a model which outlines the cell cycle in controlled and uncontrolled cell divisions, including
uncontrolled cell division resulting in cancer.

Concepts Skills

The Cell Cycle: Record observations and identify trends in data

1. Cell growth and division.
2. Phases sequence (G1, S, G2, M)
3. Normal and abnormal rates and processes
4. Rate differentiation based on cell type
5. Cancer as case study (from SEPUP only) Formatted: Highlight

Essential Question(s): How does life maintain itself?

Comments:
Activity 13 which is used to teach this Learning Outcome does not go into the phases of mitosis. The phases
of mitosis are taught in Grade 2. The Cell Cycle at this point is generalized. We'd need to be careful that
students don't get confused by the use of the word phases both in the sense of the cell cycle phases and
then in the sense of mitotic phases. I would recommend leaving the teaching of the mitotic phases to Grade
2 At this point they only need to realize that body cells replicate at different rates for different reasons. All the
details can be left to Grade 2 where they'll need more detail in order to understand mutation.

Essential Question(s): How are plants the foundation of life?

Big Idea:
A sustainable ecosystem depends on the flow of energy from the main source which is plant through all other
living systems.

Comments:
Students should observe and draw the dicot leaf as they see it under the microscope and predict from what
they know what the structures may be. Then they go to an illustration which points out the structures and go
back to the slide to label the structures with the aid of the illustration. This would serve as a preassessment

Comments:
If time is running short in the semester, the teacher may want to talk through Activity 4 on invasive species
rather than have students do all the case study reading. I also moved Act 18 & 19 to this Learning Outcome
because they were more closely connected to it and again if time is running short in the semester it may be
that the teacher gives an overview of them rather than having the students actually do them. It is more
important that students have the time to apply what they have been learning about ecosystems to problems
in Egypt itself than to go into more depth about fisheries in particular.

and meiosis together. THE SEPUP materials are designed to give students the experience of seeing the

I'd recommend shortening Activity 6. Earth Science discusses radiometric dating and stratigraphy so talk with
them so there is no duplication.
But I think it's good to do Activity 5 because aren't there whale fossils in Fayoum? Didn't you take a field trip
there? The more real connections that can be made to Egypt, the better!

1. Students will use their knowledge of feedback mechanisms in the hormonal control of blood glucose levels
and blood calcium levels to answer essay questions requiring them to describe these processes and explain
how they contribute to homeostasis.
2. Students will design a controlled experiment to investigate the impact low insulin levels would have on
blood glucose levels under various conditions (for example, during exercise or during fasting).

Capstone Connection:
The role of hormones in the positive and negative feedback mechanisms SEC Topic:
