CELL

UNIT

GRADE 7

The seventh grade is working on a unit in which they will be studying plant and animal cells. From the research which they will do, they are to create a project which relates the following information:

  • Why cells are important
  • A labeled diagram of a plant and an animal cell
  • What they do
  • All of the parts of a cell listed and the function of each
  • Where they are found
  • The differences between plant and animal cells
  • The cell theory

The following sites may be of help to you in your research:

Cells and cellular processes This site is a great source of information to help with this assignment as it includes pictures, cell theory, and the functions of both plant and animal  cells. 

Cells and Cell Structure - This Biology for Kids site has much on the parts of cells.

Cells Alive This site has helpful information and labeled drawings on both plant and animal cells.

Cell Biology: Structure of Cells and Viruses - a great site for information and very colorful, labeled drawings of both plant and animal cells.

Plant Cells This site has some drawings and much information on cells (including the differences between plant and animal cells when the links are followed).

Plant Cells: Cellular Basis of Growth - This site has good drawings of plant cells with the parts of the cells and what they do.

Biology Lesson  - This site has most of what is needed especially a simple explanation of the cell theory and what the parts of each cell do.

Cellular Biology Theory This site is one of the most helpful to find the information which you need to locate for the assignment.
