an area of low concentration. Diffusion and osmosis are examples of passive transport. A process of transporting matters that requires the cell to use energy is called active transport. Active transport usually involves the movement of matters from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. Sustaining life requires substantial energy and matter inputs. In most cases, the energy needed for life is ultimately derived from the sun through photosynthesis. Plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to facilitate photosynthesis, which stores energy, forms plant matter, releases oxygen, and maintains plants activities. Animals obtain food from eating plants or eating other animals. Within individual organisms, food moves through a series of chemical reactions in which it is broken down and rearranged to form new molecules, to support growth, or to release energy. In most animals and plants, oxygen reacts with carbon containing molecules (sugars) to provide energy and produce carbon dioxide (p.162)
B. Student Practices
1. Naming key practices Develop a model to describe unobservable phenomena: students will use the knowledge of osmosis to describe how a salmon fish regulates its internal environment to stay healthy

B. Activities
1. Introduction (10 minutes) Warm-up: PowerPoint presentation to review some of the vocabularies or concepts learned and the egg osmosis lab during the last week. They are diffusion, osmosis, active transport, passive transport, and homeostasis. While doing the PowerPoint presentation I will speak slowly and ask student volunteers to read the words out loud. Remind students that we will use these vocabularies and concepts to solve a mystery of salmons, which travel back and forth between saltwater and freshwater 2. Main Teaching Activities (40 minutes) Students will watch a video about salmon migration between freshwater and ocean. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DqjsWsY8-g After watching the video clip Ill ask questions such as would the fish lose water when migrating to the ocean? Would the fish gain water when migrating to the freshwater? The questions with pictures will appear on screen in the front of classroom. I will ask students to connect and compare the fish migration to the egg osmosis lab Review the concept of homeostasis and Ill ask students a question How would a salmon keep its internal condition stable through homeostasis? Students work with their table partners to come up with a solution a salmon might have. Students will draw pictures of fishes living in saltwater and freshwater, and indicate the directions of the movement of water in and out the fish. Students will explain and compare their drawings and their ideas I will use words and pictures to explain the approach the fish take to cope with the change in salinity in water. If time allows Ill review photosynthesis and cellular respiration and ask students to construct a Venn diagram to compare and contrast these two processes. 3. Conclusion (5 minutes) Summarize what we learned today Homework: go over Cells in Action Quiz Review and get prepared for the quiz
(3) Explain how a salmon in the ocean is different from the potato in salt water. How does the salmon keep from shriveling up?
