 Competency Goals:: 6: The learner will conduct investigations, use models, simulations, and appropriate technologies and information systems to build an understanding of cell theory.
Objectives:
6.01: Describe cell theory:
   All living things are composed of cells.
   Cells provide structure and carry on major functions to sustain life.
   Some organisms are single cell; other organisms, including humans, are multi-cellular.
   Cell function is similar in all living things. 6.02: Analyze structures, functions, and processes within animal cells for:
   Capture and release of energy.
   Feedback information.
   Dispose of wastes.
   Reproduction.
   Movement.
   Specialized needs. 6.03: Compare life functions of protists:
   Euglena.
   Amoeba.
   Paramecium.
   Volvox. 6.04: Conclude that animal cells carry on complex chemical processes to balance the needs of the organism.
   Cells grow and divide to produce more cells.
   Cells take in nutrients to make the energy for the work cells do.
   Cells take in materials that a cell or an organism needs.
