Cells

In February, we completed a unit on cells. We compared the structures of plant and animal cells, and we identified the functions of all cell structures. We learned that plant and animal cells share most of the same structures; however, plant cells also contain a cell wall and chloroplasts.

At the end of our unit, students created "Junk Cells" using various objects from their homes. Check out photos from their projects below: ** ** Above: Plant Cell models made by Olivia and Allison **  ** Above: Carleigh's model of an animal cell **  **Plant Cell models by Harleigh and Bryer ** We also constructed "The Incredible Edible Cell" as we practiced labeling the structures of the cell. There were no complaints on this day!
