Do-Now Review
Similarities
Differences
• Both are made of cells.
• Both organisms (living things).
• Both reproduce (make new versions).
• Both involve oxygen.
• One has a cell wall.
• One is an animal, one is a plant.
• Lion has legs, plant can’t move.
• Lion can breathe, plant make air.
• Lion is a mammal.
• Plants don’t make noises.
Do-Now Review
• Both are made of cells, because all living things are
made of cells.
• So … Do you think their cells are different?

Objectives
Scientists will be able to compare and
contrast plant and animal cells.
Speaking: Students will be able to explain the differences
and similarities between plant and animal cells.
How I know you’ve got it…
When you can correctly explain the differences
between plant and animal cells, then you’ve
mastered the topic!
Let’s Review How this works
- Can someone please read our term 2 goals?
Plant vs. Animal Cells
• The handout in front of you has a plant cell and an animal cell.
• There are a few major differences, and many similarities.
Time to make observations! (Hint: the cell on the right is green)
• Use the graphic organizer to write down both the similarities
and differences.
• Think-Pair-Share!
First, 3 minutes alone.
Second, 2 minutes with a partner.
Third, whole class!
Today’s Objective:
Scientists will be able to compare and contrast plant and animal cells.
Plant vs. Animal Cells
• Plant cells have every organelle
that an animal cell does.
There are many similarities!
• However, there are three differences
between plant cells and animal cells.
Animal Cell
1. Plant cells have a rigid (hard)
cell wall.
2. Plant cells have green chloroplasts.
3. Plant cells have one big vacuole.
Plant Cell
Today’s Objective:
Scientists will be able to compare and contrast plant and animal cells.
Expert Activity
• Each pair will either learn about chloroplasts or the cell wall,
and then teach another pair. What value are we building?
• First, use our reading procedure to read with your partner.
– One partner is the reader, the other is the summarizer.
– Both partners text-mark for key info.
• Then move on to the questions.
• You have 12 minutes.
Expectations: Indoor Voices, Partners Only
And on task work!
Plant Cell
• You must meet the expectations to receive a 4.0 class grade
today.
Today’s Objective:
Scientists will be able to compare and contrast plant and animal cells.
Acrostic Poem
• What is an acrostic poem?
The letters in the
word will form the
poem. Each line
needs to be
relevant to the
topic.
Expert Pairs, Part 2
• I will assign pairs an organelle.
• Each pair will have eight minutes to teach their organelle to the rest
of the table.
• TEACH the material – DO NOT just give the other pair your answers to
copy. This will result in an automatic zero.
– TIP: Your work stays in your hands.
• How to get the A+:
100% effort, use academic language, everyone
participates, on-task work
