Cell Structure and Function Assessment

This video tutorial guides students through a week-long study of cells in science class. Students will work in pairs to research plant and animal cells, focusing on their parts and differences. They will create detailed diagrams, label cell parts, and describe their functions. The lesson includes using Venn diagrams to compare and contrast plant and animal cells. The teacher provides links for research and outlines the week's goals, ensuring students understand the key questions they need to answer by the end of the week.

What are the three main questions to be answered this week in the study of cells?

• What is a cell, what are its parts, and how do they function?

• What is a cell, what are its parts, and how do cells communicate?

• What is a cell, what are the parts of plant and animal cells, and what is the difference between them?

• What is a cell, how do cells reproduce, and what are the types of cells?

How should students decide on their research focus?

• By focusing on both plant and animal cells equally

• By following the teacher's assignment

• By deciding with their partner who will focus on plant cells and who on animal cells

• By choosing randomly

What is the main task when creating a diagram of the chosen cell type?

• To ensure it is scientific, accurate, and well-labeled

• To make it as small as possible

• To make it colorful and artistic

• To include only the nucleus

What should be included in the diagram besides labeling the parts?

• The color of each organelle

• The size of each organelle

• The functions of each labeled part

• The history of cell discovery

What tool is suggested for comparing plant and animal cells?

• A bar graph

• A pie chart

• A Venn diagram

• A line graph
