Here is a presentation on what a MySpace page looks like. Use this as a guide for building your CellSpace page in Microsoft PowerPoint. Click here to see the presentation or watch it below.
Today we are doing research for the Cell Types MySpace Project. Today we are gathering information so that we can understand more about the cell type we have chosen. BEFORE we get started, you should have chosen a cell type from the list on this form and you should have brainstormed ideas of what to include in your project.
Step 1: Get computerized. Follow Mr. Trainer's instructions step-by-step!
Step 2: Download this research guide document and open it on your computer so you can write about what you learn today.
Step 3: Visit the websites specific to your cell type that I have provided on this page. Record what you learn on your research guide.
Step 4: CLEAN UP TIME: save your work, close your document. Fill out and submit the survey BELOW. Close internet explorer, close the lid of your laptop and put it in its box.
Opening: Organelles Test Worktime: Cell Types / Bill Nye: Respiration Closing: Bill Nye: Plants
HW: none
Unfortunately, I am out sick. You will be taking the cell organelles test, as I promised. Periods 1, 3, and 5 are watching Bill Nye: Respiration. Periods 2, 4, and 6 are watching a presentation I made and completing these notes on cell types. All periods are watching Bill Nye: Plants.
Here is another version of my presentation on cell types:
Next week, on Monday & Tuesday, we have a test on cell organelles. You will be responsible for know the names and functions of each of the cell organelles, as well as tell the difference between plant and animal cells based on their structure.
To prepare for this test, you should study your cell posters that we made in class on Monday & Tuesday. Try to quiz yourself to see if you know the names of all the organelles and their functions.
Please visit this website. On the website you will find a plant and an animal cell. Click on the organelles to see what they do.
Complete this table and use it as a study guide for the test. If you can complete the table without looking at your poster or at the interactive cell website then you are probably ready for the test.
If you want to supplement your studies with something more visual & musical, here is a very bad cartoon rap about plants and animal cells (extra credit to anyone who can write a better rap with ALL of the same information):
For you super scientists out there that already know all about the organelles and their functions, watch this video to learn more about cells (unless you are sitting at a school computer, in which case you'll have to wait until you get home):
