MONDAY GAME DAY

....AND REMEMBER, 

THE BEST CLASS FOR THE SUB WINS THE PRIZE 

TWO DAY LAB ON CELLS AND MICROSCOPES

DAY ONE:

• Click this link to view a variety of cells. Discuss what type each might be, and why their shape or size might affect their function.  http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/featured/images-inside-human-body-images/8292?image=0

• Microscope station........View four different slides - draw how each cell or tissue appears, write the name of what is in the slide, and write an observation.  

• Onion cell station......follow directions on the station card.  Create your own slide of an onion cell and  a cheek cell. 
• Click on this link and go through the plant and animal cell frames. Be sure to open each link at each screen before clicking "continue".
• http://bio.rutgers.edu/~gb101/lab1_cell_structure/section8_frames.html

DAY TWO: 

• As a class, view the Brainpop on Cell Specialization / complete the 10 question quiz.
• Station One: Using microviewers, look at all slides......use the petri dish to trace a circle and draw what you see in each circle.  Write a two sentence observation of each slide to the side of your drawing
• Station Two: click on game time and play the review game - let your teacher see your score before you close the game.

EITHER DAY: Watch the movie on cell organelles, either as a class or with small groups.

REVIEW PART II - TEST ON CELLS AND CELL THEORY

1. What are the three main points of the CELL THEORY?
2. What is an organelle?  What do they do for a cell?
3. Are ALL cells the same......what about shape?......what about size?
4. What parts of organisms are made of cells?
5. Give a brief description of the following cell parts:  cell membrane, cell wall, nucleus, mitochondria, Golgi bodies, Endoplasmic Reticulum, vacuoles, chloroplast, ribosomes.  Where is the DNA found in a cell?
6. Identify scientists associated with the cell theory - give two or three words about their contribution.
7. List the levels of cell organization from the one that is most simple to the one that is most complex.

ANIMAL AND PLANT CELL PROJECT

We will work on a project the next two weeks.  The topic is ANIMAL AND PLANT CELLS.

You may click on the picture of a plant cell to see the project details.
