HOMEWORK: Virtual Lesson - Intro to Cells

Intro to Cells​

NGSS Standards: MS-LS1-1, MS-LS1-2: conduct an investigation to provide evidence that living things are made of cells; either one cell or many different types of cells; develop and use a model to describe the function of a cell as a whole and ways the parts of cells contribute to the function.
