What are we Cell-ebrating?
The unity of all life! (wohoo!)
How will we cell-ebrate?!
With knowledge of course!
How to Prepare
WORK WITH A PARTNER
1. First, using any of the websites listed on our page you must:
 Label and define the organelles in the Animal Cell
Diagram provided in this package.
 Label and define the organelles in the Plant Cell Diagram
in this package.
 You must color each of your organelles a different color.
 Ex: Nucleus will be red. Mitochondria will be purple, etc.
Please see Miss Conrad for an example if you are
unsure.(list of colors for organelles by cell models)
2.
Second, fill out the STRUCTURE and FUNCTION chart located in
this package.
3.
Third, you will complete the Open-ended questions. Make sure
your answers are correct!
4.
Fourth, you will create a song or poem with your partner ABOUT
cells and their organelles. We will be posting these songs/poems to
our class google docs.

1. Which invention led to the discovery of cells? How do you think life would be different if we
never discovered cells?
2. You look at a cell under the microscope and note that it has a nucleus, a large vacuole, a cell
wall, and chloroplasts. Does this cell belong to a plant or animal? How do you know?
3. Which organelle directs all cell activities?
A. cell membrane
B. chloroplast
C. nucleus
D. cell wall
4. Which activity occurs in a
mitochondrion?
A. Energy the cell can use is
released.
B. Water and nutrients are
stored.
C. Proteins are made.
D. Worn-out cell parts are
recycled.

Grading
*This will count as ONE test score. The highest you can
attain is a 45. (Example: 45/45= 100). You must have Miss
Conrad’s initials signed off in the sections above (#s1-4) in
order to move on.
