Learning Outcomes:

1. show an understanding of the functions of the different parts of a typical cell, including the nucleus which contains genetic material called DNA that can be passed down to the next generation.

2. show an understanding that typical plant and animals cells are models used to represent their various forms

3. recognise that in multicellular organisms (both plants and animals), cells are the basic building blocks that are organised into tissues, organs and systems

4. identify, using the microscope safely and correctly, the different parts of a typical plant or animal cell :

• cell wall

• cell membrane

• cytoplasm

• nucleus

• vacuole

• chloroplast

5. infer whether an organism is an animal or a plant based on its cellular composition

6. show an appreciation for the relationship between advances in technology with knowledge-building, e.g., to show the development of the microscope
