universally recognized truths.
ACTIVITY 1
Find information about the seven main characteristics of living
organisms and suggest an interesting activity that you can plan to
teach those characteristics to 6th grade students.

A B
Look at the image, can you guess
in pairs where each of these are?
A. A place where the cell’s activities are
controlled.
B. A place where chemical reactions
happen.
C. A place where substances can pass
in and out of the cell.
D. A place where energy is released for
the cell.

C D
Sub-Cellular Structure Definitions

nucleus: Controls the activities of the cell. Contains genetic

material (DNA), which is packaged into structures called
chromosomes.
cell membrane: Controls the movement of substances into and
out of the cell.
cytoplasm: A jelly-like substance that fills the cell, where most
chemical reactions happen.
mitochondria: Contains the enzymes needed for aerobic
respiration, which releases energy for the cell.
Take Notes
Make sure these are written down correctly
and check your spelling.
Plant Cell
Sub-Cellular Structure Definitions
chloroplasts: Contain the pigment chlorophyll
which absorbs light to provide energy for
photosynthesis.
cell wall: A rigid structure that helps to strengthen
the cell and provides support for the plant
permanent vacuole: Filled with cell sap to keep
the cell rigid to support the plant.

Take Notes
Make sure these are written down correctly
and check your spelling.

are visible in a typical animal cell and a plant cell
separately with their functions.
