Wednesday & Thursday, 11/12 & 11/13: Cell Organelles

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):
