10/18

This week students focused on eukaryotic cells.  Seventh graders completed a discovery lab and viewed the differences between plant and animal cells.  Students created their own slides and viewed onion cells (plant) and cheek cells (animal).  Their understanding of the differences is a little more defined now that they were able to visualize the differences. 
On Thursday and Friday, students started their Cell Analogy Projects.  Students will be comparing each organelle to something with a similar function,  that they are more familiar with.  These familiar items will come from magazines.  As an extra challenge, some students have decided to base all their images around a certain theme.  I am very excited to view the final products on Tuesday before our Cell Test on Wednesday.

Have a nice weekend!
