Captivating Cells

What is a cell?

Cells are the basic structural unit of all living things. Some organisms are made up of a single cell like bacteria, while others are made up of trillions of cells. Different cells have different structures and purposes. Check out some of these amazing cells and their functions on this page!

Once you have explored the links you will be making a DLO that explains what a cell is and what each of the major organelles do.

Make a copy of this Draw and label the key parts of the cell. Add this to your blog post and tracking my learning document.

Create a DLO that explains the function of the major organelles (you labeled these in the Google Draw).

You could create slides, a doc, a piece of art, poster, video...

Share your DLO on your blog and provide a link to it on the tracking my learning slides
