Lesson 3:

Heterotroph / Autotroph

Question:

How do organisms get energy?

Learning Intention

Students will be able to

determine whether an organism is an autotroph or heterotroph using context clues.

Agenda

Standard

Step 1) Warm-Up: Know/Need to Know

(3 min)

Step 2) Explicit Instruction (10 min)

Step 3) Guided Practice

(5 min)

Step 4) Independent Practice (5 min)

Step 5) Scientific Inquiry Quiz (20 min)

HS-LS1-5: Use a model to illustrate how photosynthesis transforms light energy into stored chemical energy.

Part 1

Warm-Up

Know/Need to Know

(3 min)

Directions: Turn n'talk - The learning intention is what we expect you to do by the end of the day.

To reach this goal, talk about what you already KNOW and what you NEED TO KNOW.

Learning Intention

Students will be able to

determine whether an organism is an autotroph or heterotroph using context clues.

Part 3-4

Start Wide, Then Divide

(3 min)

Directions:

Today we will practice a new protocol called START WIDE THEN DIVIDE

Step #1) I will present our learning intention.

Step #2) I will show you how an expert determines if an organism is a heterotroph (consumer) or autotroph (producer).

***No note taking or questions as I model***

Step #3) I will check myself using the success criteria.

Step #4) We will re-do the same problem again but this time, we will work as a class.

1) Autotroph (Producer) - An organism that's able to make its own food, usually through the process of photosynthesis. Does not rely on other organisms for its food.

2) Heterotroph (Consumer) - An organism that eats other organisms in order to get energy.

AND JOT

Wide then Divide

Part 4

Scientific Inquiry Quiz

(25 min)

Directions: Complete the quiz by the end of the period.
