Summative Assessment
Students will create a newspaper describing the importance of varying aspects
from the enlightenment period. They will incorporate cultural, technological, and
scientific information to describe the enlightenment period and how it shaped the
world today. Biology students will discuss the cellular processes and the use of
the microscope and how it is relevant today. Technology students will identify
relevant discoveries, including the printing press, and be able describe the
technology process, and how it affected the way technology is used today. History
students will be able to describe the significance of new philosophies, (cultural,
technological, and scientific) and how they changed society.
Cells use passive and active transport of substances across membranes to maintain relatively
stable intracellular environments. Cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems maintain
relatively stable internal environments, even in the face of changing external environments.
Objectives: Students will be able to describe a cell and metabolic processes it undergoes.
They will be able to describe these processes and compare them to scientific ideas before the
enlightenment period and after the enlightenment period.
Big Ideas/Essential Understandings: Students will see how the use of the
microscope and discovery of cells by Robert Hooke changed scientific beliefs during the
enlightenment period. They will learn cells make up all living things, and are responsible for
metabolic processes. They will observe cells under a microscope and how biomolecules carry
out these processes.
Inquiry Questions: How did the enlightenment period allow for scientific revolution?
Describe the importance of discovering cells for modern science. Analyze cells processes and
their efficiency.
