Introduction
We are all made of a bunch of CELLS!
What is a Cell? Are Animal and Plant Cells the same? How are they different? What do cells do and where can I find them?
Join us on a mission to uncover the answers to these questions and unveil the different parts of a cell.
Do you accept the challenge?
Let's go!
Task
Your scientific responsibility is as follows:
You and your partner need to research a plant and animal cell (one person researches the plant, the other researches the animal cell). You and your partner will turn in a completed copy of the items listed below (number 6 is to be completed at home and brought in).
1) A detailed drawing of your cell, with vocabulary words. It must be colored, labeled with the cell parts and an explanation of the parts job. (Get paper copy from me)
2) A Venn diagram comparing and contrasting the plant and animal cell. (get paper copy from me)
3) Five interesting facts about "Cells" that you did not know before the webquest (microsoft 365 if possible)
4) two or three powerpoint slides about the organelle that is assigned to you. List any other names for your organelle and the function of the organelle. Include a picture. (microsoft 365 if possible)
5) That quiz assessment
6) Build a model of a cell of your choice (Plant or Animal) to bring to class on May 6th. It must be edible

Process
Remember, your task is to help the scientists get the cell slides back into the correct boxes. You will use the following resources to learn about the animal cell structure.
Animal Cell
1) Go to Cells Alive (link below) and interact with the live digitized animal cell. Be sure to click on each label to see its function. This data is vital to one of your end products.

Plant Cell
1) 1) Go to Cells Alive (link below) and interact with the live digitized plant cell. Be sure to click on each label to see its function. This data is vital to one of your end products.

Both of you
2) Draw your animal/plant cell with the labeled parts and functions.
3) Get together to create your Venn diagram. Use your drawings to compare and contrast the cells.
4. Write 5 facts about a cell that you did not know before. Use Microsoft 365 if possible
5. Create 2/3 PowerPoint slides about the organelle assigned to you. Use Microsoft 365 if possible
6. Complete the assessment on www.thatquiz.org
