New Unit: Micro-Life

We are starting a new unit on Micro-Life which includes Cells, Microscopes, and Photosynthesis.  Kids were given their learning targets last week and we started with Act. 37 Historians of the Cell Theory.  Kids also took a quiz on Friday, in which, they were able to use their flipbooks. 

We are going to start talking about the parts of cells and the functions of each part.  There are differences between plants and animals and we will be exploring that information in the next couple of days.  The kids will be working on the computers on Tuesday to determine the functions of cells and their parts. They will also determine what the different parts are between the plant and animal cell.

We also will be doing two labs this week.  One will see whether cells respire or breathe and the other one will determine what cells allow in and out of the cell membrane.
