With this activity, students will review the components of the coordinate plane, graph coordinates, and tell coordinates.   This activity was created with Jamboard to allow the teacher to view students placements of points and work in real time.  The activity can be presented to the whole group with the teacher giving  students assignments on each slide (by sharing editor rights) or assigned to individual students with each a copy. 

In this 8 minute video, Paul Andersen describes how life could have formed on our planet through natural processes. The progression from monomers, to polymers, to protocells and finally to cells is described. The Miller-Urey experiment is described in detail as well as characteristics of the latest universal ancestor.

Also included are worksheets, a concept map, a slideshow, and transcript of the video.

Transcript added from YouTube subtitles. You can use this to write your own worksheet or quiz.

Jamboard of Coordinate Plane.  Drag and drop to label the coordinate plane.  Go to second slide and drag and drop the ordered pairs with the quadrants or axis.

Students will identify the parts of the coordinate plane and graph ordered pairs in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane. There are strategies embedded within the handout to support an enduring understanding. For example, in order to plot points, you can use an Elevator relation: Choose the door "x", then the floor "y")
Extension: Virginia Department of Education resource document titled, "Coordinate Plane", which is a remediation lesson. Students identify, and graph ordered pairs in the four quadrants of a coordinate plane. Visual aid handout, exit ticket, and lesson plan are included.

The purpose of this lesson is to teach students about the three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. It is important for structural engineers to be confident graphing in 3D in order to be able to describe locations in space to fellow engineers.
