Cells and Microorganisms (Unit 4)

S5L3. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to compare and contrast the parts of plant and animal cells.

a. Gather evidence by utilizing technology tools to support a claim that plants and animals are comprised of cells too small to be seen without magnification.

b. Develop a model to identify and label parts of a plant cell (membrane, wall, cytoplasm, nucleus, chloroplasts) and of an animal cell (membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus).

c. Construct an explanation that differentiates between the structure of plant and animal cells.

 

S5L4. Obtain, evaluate and communicate information about how microorganisms benefit or harm larger organisms.

CellCraft is a state of the art game that invites students to delve into the world of the cell, learning about how a cell functions while helping it survive in hostile environments. The student will gain an understanding of important molecules such as glucose and ATP, as well as a variety of cellular organelles, while going through an entertaining story guided by Platypus scientists in need of help. The game encourages students to balance resources and grow a robust cell in order to fight off cold, starvation, and viruses. Can you use your cellular knowledge to grow a super cell and save the Platypus species? Find out by mastering the art of CELLCRAFT!

SHRINKY DINK CELLS - HOMEMADE!
Check out this link for how to make these cool cells from recycled materials at home.  REMEMBER TO HOLE PUNCH BEFORE YOU SHRINK THESE!  Use recycled salad boxes made of #6 plastic.  ALSO - trace the cool cells in your ISN!
