2.4 Cell Cycle - I can explain the function of the cell cycle as cells grow and maintain body systems (including cell growth, DNA replication, mitosis, and separation of cell contents).

📖 2.4 Reading: Cell Cycle

Unit 2 Cells Library

✅ 2.4 Test Date:

Day 0 (Jan 3) - B day

🎯 Day 1 Learning Targets (What do I need to know and do?)		Success Criteria (How I know if I got it?)
I can pass quarter 2 of biology.		All of my test scores are greater than 2. I have also completed all of the practice assignments listed on PowerSchool or Canvas Grades.
Performance of Understanding (What will I do to learn it?)
Intervention If you have less than a 2 on any test, work to retake that test and improve your score. * Make sure your testing module is complete before you try to retake the test. ✅ 2.1 Unknown Molecule Lab TEST ✅ 2.1 Cell Chemistry TEST or ✅ 2.1 Cell Chemistry ACCOMMODATED TEST ✅ 2.2 Cell Structure & Function TEST or ✅ 2.2 Cell Structure & Function ACCOMMODATED TEST ✅ 2.3 Cell Membrane and Transport TEST or ✅ 2.3 Cell Membranes & Transport ACCOMODATED TEST		Enrichment If you are passing biology and content with your grade, use your time to complete an enrichment assignment here
