Cell Unit
For the cell unit we will not have a packet. You will be able to select from a list of activities for each topic.
Please be sure to select the assignment based on your learning style and how you learn best not which “looks
easiest.” You will save yourself time in the end if you pick an activity best suited to how you learn even if it
takes a little longer. If you are not sure how you learn best, talk with me or your parents for help. You may
also refer to your All About Me section in your portfolio for your multiple intelligences test.
S7L2. Students will describe the structure and function of cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems.
a. Explain that cells take in nutrients in order to grow and divide and to make needed materials.
b. Relate cell structures to basic cell functions.
A. Identify Cell Structures (organelles)-complete one
Color-coded cell diagram-use a diagram of a cell, colorcode the organelles
Diagram-fill in a diagram of the cell
Draw your own cell and label the organelles
Flash cards-Make flash cards with pictures and
definitions of each organelle. This assignment will cover both
this section and organelle functions (A & B). You will not need to do an
assignment for section B if you complete this assignment.
C. Project-cell structures/organelle functions,
complete one (3 days will be given in class
towards this. Whatever is not finished should be
completed on your own.)
Cell analogy poster
Edible cell-you make at home and bring in.
