This Cell Parts lesson plan also includes:
What do a bird, an egg, a rabbit, and a toad all have in common? This fun-filled resource explains the similarities and differences between cells and how all cells are similar, yet all are different. Learners begin by depicting a timeline of the important cellular discoveries of historical figures in science. They then pair into groups based on cell function and assemble pillows to visually display each cellular component and its respective role in daily biological function.
