Science: Cells
OBJECTIVES

Identifying structures within cells and describing their function

Recognising that some organisms consist of a single cell

Cells are the basic building blocks of living things. The human body is
composed of trillions of cells, all with their own specialised function.

In this lesson, we will learn about the animal cell and its different organelles. First,
search on YouTube the video: Biology: Cell Structure I Nucleus Medical Media, Watch
it, and answer the following questions:

1) What are the three things all cells have in common?

_____________________ ____________________ ___________________

2) What are the two main categories of cells?

_________________ _____________

3) What does the word “Organelles” mean? ________________________________

4) What is the material contained in the nucleus and what is its role in the cell?

Science: Online Practice

In the last lesson, you explored the animal cell and the different organelles that make part of
it. In this lesson, your knowledge will be put to the test with these online games.
Choose one of the online games (or both if you want) and complete the challenges.

1) Animal Cell Quiz

LINK: https://www.sheppardsoftware.com/health/anatomy/cell/cell_quiz.htm

On this online game, you will have to answer some questions about the cell organelles
and their functions. If you answer all the questions correctly, you will get to see a cell
divide.

2) Cell Craft

Create your own cell and fight viruses in this online game. Your goal is to keep your cell
alive and growing while learning about the different organelles and their functions.
