Students identify that all living organisms are composed of cells whose details usually are visible only through a microscope. They also explain and apply cell theory and differentiate the characteristics that distinguish plant cells from animal cells. Finally, students describe the appearance and function of the major components of a cell. Full Review »

Students create three dimensional cell models. They may choose to make either a plant or animal cell but must use a ziploc bag as the cell membrane, slime for the cytoplasm, and a strawberry baskets for the cell wall if making a plant cell. They may choose what they wish to represent all the other organelles of the cell and must include a key. Project is completed by mathematically comparing the size of the cell they created to an actual cell. Full Review »
