CELLS

 We are about to learn about cells, which are the basic units of life.
Over the weekend, I would like you to do two tasks:


TASK ONE:

Watch the video clip below. It has been made with an application called PowToon. It compares a plant cell with an amusement park. Watch the video twice or three times. Identify the parts of the cells that your book shows on page 41.
Some of the parts are compared to the structure of an amusement park, which ones and to what are they being compared?

On the video, there are two spelling mistakes. Can you spot them?

What do you think about this type of presentation. Would you like to try and use it?


TASK TWO:

Cell Art

I want you to draw a picture using different types of cells. For example: plant cells, differetn animal cells from: heart tissue, muscle tissue, liver tissue , nervous tissue ( these are very interesting). Do it  nicely on an A3 sheet of paper. You can use crayons or paint to colour it. Look for images of all these cells on the Internet and try to copy some of them to do your composition. On the back side of the paper you will need to describe how you did it and the types of cells that are shown. Remember, this needs to be a nice work of art inspired by cells.
