[Bio.3 a) The cell theory is supported by evidence.]
Skill 1: Understand the six tenets of cell theory and prove that they are supported by evidence.
[Take notes on the original cell theory and modern cell theory in your science notebook.]
Modern Cell Theory
With new technology and discoveries, the original cell theory has been modified to include three additions:
Cells contain genetic information (DNA), which is passed on during cell division.
The cells of all organisms are basically the same, in chemical composition. This means they are made of water and our four macromolecules (Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.)
Energy flow occurs within cells.
You have two options for the following notes:
Annotate on a printed copy, adding notes, clarifications, examples, related doodles, and questions. Secure it into your notebook.
Copy the notes into your science notebook, organized in a way that makes sense to you. Include notations, as above.
Absent? If you are unable to get a paper copy before next class, you may make an electronic copy and use comments to make annotations.

Summary: Explain the six tenets of cell theory to a fifth grader and give proof that they are supported by evidence.
