Learning Targets: Part I
I Can...
- Identify the parts of a microscope and be able to use it correctly.
- Define the following vocabulary: microscope, cells, tissue, organ, organ system, organism, and reproduction.
- Explain the three key parts of the "Cell Theory".
- Identify the parts of a cell and explain their function. (nucleus, cell wall, cell membrane, mitochondria, ribosome, endoplasmic reticulum, chloroplast, cytoplasm, and golgi body).
- Identify how plant cells differ from animal cells. (chloroplasts, cell wall)
- Imagine the cell as a miniature city with companies or places/parts of a city that represent cell organelles because they have similar functions or jobs. Create a model of a "Cell City" using these symbols.
