Living Things and Cell Unit
In the unit on cells and living things, students will learn about the functions and structure of the animal cell and plant cell. Students will learn how cells increase in growth and divide to make more cells. They will also understand how cells come together to form multicellular organisms. The major project of the unit involves building a plant or animal cell to learn about cell structure and function. Students will also have the opportunity to view cells using scientific tools and simulate cell division with some basic materials.
