5th Grade
S5L3 Students will diagram and
label parts of various cells (plant, animal, singlecelled,
multi-celled). b. Identify parts of a plant cell (membrane, wall, cytoplasm, nucleus, chloroplasts) and of an animal cell (membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus) and determine the function of the parts. |
The Virtual Cell This website contains an interactive picture of a plant cell. Student's can click on each part and the name will appear beside it. Also, there is a link at the top of the page which allows students to hear the proper pronuncition of each part of the plant cell. Build a Cell This website allows students to build their own cell. Students will be asked a trivia type question and then asked to find the plant part the question is referring to. Cell Biology Word Search This web page contains a crossword puzzle game that allows students to find the vocabulary words associated with a plant cell. Interactive Cell Animation This website contains an animated version of plant cell parts and also animates functions of the cell, such as mitosis and meosis. Cell Mitosis Web page contains a crossword activity that allows children to read the clues and figure out whic part or function it refers to. Activity can either be printd out or done interactively. Great way to develop vocabulary related to cell mitosis and also practice the concepts. |
 Title of software program Microsoft Office Student and Teqcher Edition Published by Microsoft How can Software be Used? - Students can use this program to make their own power poing presentation over the cell parts or even the stages of Mitosis. Review of Software - The software is fairly easy to use, but teacher must be prepared to explain the basics of the program because some students may not know how to use it.   Title of software program - Paint Program Published by - Microsoft How can Software be Used? - Students can draw a picture of the plant cell. Review of Software - Software is extremely easy to use and students enjoy using it. Teacher may plan on a brief training session on how tools use in the program.  Title of Software Program - The Dynamic Cell Published by - Springer Verlag How can Software be Used? - Students are taken a virtual tour of the cell . It helps to further understanding of the cell, its parts and their functions. Software Review - Great program for visual learners. Students can see the cell proceses in action. good for both instructors to use for whole group instruction or for each individual student to navigate on their own. Program is fairly easy to use and requires only minimal instruction on use.  Title of software program - Understanding Mitosis and Meosis Published by - Springer Verlag How Can Software be Used? - Student can navigate throught this program and see live versions of mitosis of plant cells. It also has other tutorials and tests over different cell processes. Software Review - Program deals with mitosis and Meosis of plant and animal cells so it can be used for further learning about cells. Easy to use.  Title

1. Building a Cell / This website
contains an
interactive activity that allows students to build a plant cell. To complete the activity a definition is given and then the student must pick out the cell part that it is refering to. 2. PLO - Student will learn the names of the cell parts and the function of each part. 3. Web Site and any other materials that students need to do the activity: http://www.bioscope.org/taste/builda.htm 4. Procedures will also use the build a cell link to build their own cell on the website. Once the children have done the online activitiy, have them write a reflection paper over what they have learned. 5. Product: After the students have visited the website, they should be able to correctly identify each part of the plant cell and tell its function. They may demonstrate this knowledge by writing the reflection paper and also labeling the parts of a cell on a paper diagram of the plant cell. (Teacher will provide) Activity Two (2)  1.Title - The Virtual Cell ( pronunciation
activity )
2. PLO - Student will correctly pronounce the parts of the plant cell. 3. Web Site and any other materials that students need to do the activity http://personal.tmlp.com/Jimr57/tour/cell/cell.htm 4.

Teacher will point to a word and student will be expected to pronounce it correctly. Activity
Three (3)
1. Title/ - Mitosis Stages - This activity allows students to view an animation of cell division (mitosis) and also gives the student the name and a definition of what happens in each stage. 2. PLO - Student will learn what mitosis is. They will learn the names of the stages and also what happens in each stage. 3. Web Site and any other materials that students need to do the activity - http://www.biology.arizona.edu/Cell_bio/tutorials/cell_cycle/cells3.html 4.
