These are "prescribed learning outcomes" for BCs integrated science 10 course.
It is expected that students will:
• relate organelles to their function within
the cell
• distinguish between cells based on their
different structures and functions
• describe factors that limit cell size
• compare the changes that occur during
the stages of a cell’s development
• describe the ways in which viruses and
bacteria can affect cell functioning
• assess the factors that can affect fetal
development
• compare and contrast asexual and sexual
reproductionfunction and their interrelationships as the basis of
living things. They compare and contrast asexual and
sexual reproduction. Microscope work and other
activities are used to increase students’ understanding.
• Have students make three-dimensional models
of plant or animal cells that include appropriate
structures and organelles (e.g., nucleus,
mitochondria, chloroplasts, cell wall, vacuole,
cell membrane).
• To understand the limits to cell size, have students
calculate surface-to-volume ratios for different sizes
of cubes. Cardboard boxes may be used as models.
• Have students examine cells and cell life stages
