CE: Cell Energetics Module Introduction

	To help you prepare for the Tree of Life growth, you will need to water your seed after you plant. It water is an important part of life, and the water molecule itself is very unique as you have learned in previous modules.
Badge Description	Students will learn about the cell’s energy source, ATP, and how it relates to living organisms. Students will learn the steps of cell respiration and photosynthesis, as well as how these processes relate to living things.

In order to earn the Seed Badge for this module you must choose to complete the following:

To begin this unit, the student will complete one of the following:

Stem Cell Discussion
Stem Cell Worksheet

Once earning a 70% or above the students must complete the following assignment:

Cell Analogy

Once earning a 70% or above the students have the choice between two more assignments:

Gummy Bear Lab
Transport Virtual Lab

Once earning a 70% or above the students have the choice between two more assignments:

Cell and Cell Transport Study Guide
Cell and Cell Transport Review Quiz

Once earning a 70% or above the students have will complete one of the final assessments:

Cell and Cell Transport Test
Cell and Cell Transport Project

You will earn the Seed Badge once you have successfully earned a 70% for all of the above requirements.

*If you are unhappy with your score on the assignment you chose, then you are allowed to go back and complete the alternative choice as long as it is before the due date."

In order to earn the Water Badge for this module you must choose to complete the following:

To begin this unit, the student will complete one of the following:

Energy Drink Discussion
Who needs who? Discussion

Once earning a 70% or above the students must complete one of the following assignment:

Photosynthesis Virtual Lab
Nutrient Cycling Card Interactive

Once earning a 70% or above the students have the choice between two more assignments:

Cell Energetics Study Guide
Cell Energetics Transport Review Quiz

Once earning a 70% or above the students have will complete one of the final assessments:

Cell and Cell Transport Test
Alien Recipe Project

You will earn the Water Badge once you have successfully earned a 70% for all of the above requirements.

*If you are unhappy with your score on the assignment you chose, then you are allowed to go back and complete the alternative choice as long as it is before the due date. If you complete the alternative assignment past the deadline then late penalties will be applied.

Assignment	Criteria
Energy Drink Discussion	Students will analyze an energy drink advertisement and apply their knowledge on the roles of photosynthesis and respiration in the flow of energy within the cell to produce arguments on a discussion board.
Who Needs Who? Discussion	Students will analyze a writing prompt whether animals need plants or plants need animals to survive, and apply their knowledge on the roles of photosynthesis and respiration in the flow of energy within the cell to produce arguments on a discussion board.
Review Quiz	Students will be assessed over the explanation of how the roles of photosynthesis and respiration in the cycling of matter and flow of energy within an ecosystem by a multiple choice style questions to prepare them for the module final assessment.
Study Guide	Students will be assessed over the explanation of how the roles of photosynthesis and respiration in the cycling of matter and flow of energy within an ecosystem by completing short answer and fill in the blank questions to prepare them for the module final assessment.
Photosynthesis Virtual Lab	Students will develop and use models to analyze the cycling of matter and flow of energy within ecosystems through the processes of photosynthesis in a virtual lab exploration.
Nutrient Interactive Activity	Students will complete a card interactive activity that simulates the cycling of matter and flow of energy within an ecosystem through the processes of photosynthesis and respiration.
Cell Energy Test	Students will be assessed over all the standards covered in the module which include the explanation of how the roles of photosynthesis and respiration in the cycling of matter and flow of energy within an ecosystem by a multiple choice style questions.
Alien Recipe Project	Students will be assessed over all the standards covered in the module which include the explanation of how the roles of photosynthesis and respiration in the cycling of matter and flow of energy within an ecosystem by completing a project which instructs the student to write a step by step recipe of the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration and systems importance to recycling nutrients in the ecosystem.
