What is found inside of cells and how do these parts work together to allow cells to carry out all of the important processes that living things need to happen to keep organisms alive? This unit will focus on the organelles found within cells and their important functions. This unit concentrates on:
The essential and specialized parts of the cell, the differences between animal and plant cells, cellular organization from the cell up to the organism, essential cell functions, and how cells make copies of themselves.
Science Practices: Asking Questions and Defining Problems; Carrying Out Investigations; Developing and Using Models
Cross Cutting Concepts: Scale, Proportion and Quantity, Energy and Matter, Systems and Systems Models, and Structure and Function- see below.
