Animal Cell Parts
Process
# 1 You will watch a
short video about a human thyroid cell. Notice how everything is within
something larger (cell within thyroid gland, gland within human). Use
this information to begin your cell descriptions
# 2 You will be identifying different cell parts and their function
using the Cells Alive! website. With the data that you've gathered from
the website, you will be able to correctly determine what each animal
cell part does in order to keep the whole cell working properly. You
will also be able to describe the cell parts' appearances from your
exploration of this website. The worksheet that you have been given has
blanks for both the function of the cell parts and their descriptions.
Don't forget to fill out both blanks! You can draw the cell parts
instead if describing them if you wish.
# 3 Now that
you know a little about animal cells, click the next link and play a
game. If you get all of the answers correct, you get a colorful
surprise! If you don't, that's alright- just try again.
# 4 Cells
are complex little things. This quiz will ask you some pretty difficult
questions, but I know that you can answer them! Take the quiz until you
get all of the questions correct. When you do, you'll get to see the
cell divide! This process of cell division is why our hair grows, our
fingernails grow, and why we grow taller and stronger!
# 5 This
last animation will get you thinking about our next lesson in cells.
Like every living thing, cells reproduce. This animation shows you the
steps of mitosis, which is the process that parent cells undergo in
order to create the daughter cells. Pay close attention because you'll
need this information for tomorrow!
