Watch this animated activity and write 5 things that you learned from this activity http: //www. bbc. co. uk/schools/ks 3 bitesize/science/organisms_behaviour_health/cells_systems/activity. shtml Day 1

Reminder: • Bring a set of modeling clay (at least 5 colors) • 1/8 illustration board • Colored papers • Glue/paste • Scissors Or • Colored markers Day 1

Instructions for the Clay Activity Objective: create plant cell and animal cell model • Use the modeling clay to show the basic parts of a cell. You may use your textbook as reference. • You decide which side of the illustration board you will use. • After making the models, label the parts and give a very short description for each part – If you used the black part, you have to use small papers to write the name and description – Colored markers may be used if the white part of the illustration board is used. • Be sure to write your homeroom, group number and the names of the members with their class numbers beside the names before you submit your output Day 2

Rubric 5 -4 3 -2 Correctness of information All the labels and descriptions are correct. Accuracy of the model The models look like somehow look like cells. 3 Participation of members All of the members of the group participated. 2 Cleanliness of output The output is mostly clean. 1 -0 Most of the labels A few of the labels and descriptions are correct. 2 Most of the members of the group participated. The models do not look much like cells. 1 Some of the members of the group participated. 1 The output is not clean. Day 2

CELLS Day 3

CONTENTS: What is a cell? What are the parts that make up an animal cell? plant cell? What is cell division? What happens when a cell divides? Day 3

CELLS Basic unit of life. All living organisms are made up of cells. Types of cells include animal, plant, bacteria and amoeba cells. Different organisms have different types of cells to carry our specific functions. Cells have unique functions but have basic structures. Day 3

Example of Specialized Cells Root hair cell • Has special structure that enables water to pass through the hair easily Blood Cells • Has hemoglobin which enables the cells to carry oxygen; brings food to all parts of the body Sperm Cell • Has tail which enables the cell to swim towards an egg cell Day 3

Animal Cell Plant Cell CYTOPLASM Jelly like substance in the cell where food and minerals is transported; where a number of cellular activities occur. Day 3

Animal Cell Plant Cell CELL MEMBRANE Soft and thin layer which protects the cytoplasm; controls the flow of materials in and out of a cell Day 3

Animal Cell Plant Cell VACUOLES Spaces that play a role in the digestion of food Day 3

Other parts of a plant cell PLANT VACUOLES Has plant sap, which allows plant cells to be firm. This takes the place of a skeletal system in plants Day 3

Other parts of a plant cell CELL WALL Outermost layer which is made up of stiff materials; gives the plant cell its own shape Day 3

Other parts of a plant cell CHLOROPLASTS Small green structures that contain chlorophyll which has green pigments that trap sunlight to make food for plants. Day 3

Quick Checkup…… What are the common parts of a cell? What parts do plant cells have that animal cells do not have? How do these different parts affect the nature of an animal or plant cell? Day 3

What is happening in this animation? Day 3

Cell Division Cells grow and multiply by dividing their nuclei and cytoplasm Cell division is needed in order to replace old cells that have died or to help repair damaged cells Skin cells=3 weeks Intestinal lining= 3 days Why do some cells last longer than other cells? Day 3
