    Description

    This bundle is a perfect way to introduce the basics of cells to any middle school science program. Included in this bundle are all the tools necessary to teach your students:

    * The basics about cell theory and cellular differentiation

    * The basic differences between plant and animal cells

    * The roles and functions of vital cell organelles

    * How to successfully use a microscope (and how to make one!)

    Students will explore and read all about cells and their organelles. They will have multiple opportunities to apply their knowledge with projects and models. Additionally, they will become familiar with how microscopes work, how they can make one themselves, and how to successfully use them to get a live view of cells.

    Recommended Age Group: middle school, grades -8

    The 5 lessons included in this bundle cover the following NGSS standards:

    MS-LS1-1: Conduct an investigation to provide evidence that living things are made of cells; either one cell or many different numbers and types of cells.

    MS-LS1-2: Develop and use a model to describe the function of a cell as a whole and ways parts of cells contribute to the function.

    It also covers the following ELA Common Core standards:

    SL.7.5: Include multimedia components and visual displays in presentations to clarify claims and findings and emphasize salient points.

    RST.6-8.1 Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of science and technical texts.

    WHST.6-8.7 Conduct short research projects to answer a question (including a self-generated question), drawing on several sources and generating additional related, focused questions that allow for multiple avenues of exploration.

    NGSSMS-LS1-2
    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. Emphasis is on the cell functioning as a whole system and the primary role of identified parts of the cell, specifically the nucleus, chloroplasts, mitochondria, cell membrane, and cell wall. Assessment of organelle structure/function relationships is limited to the cell wall and cell membrane. Assessment of the function of the other organelles is limited to their relationship to the whole cell. Assessment does not include the biochemical function of cells or cell parts.
    NGSSMS-LS1-1
    Conduct an investigation to provide evidence that living things are made of cells; either one cell or many different numbers and types of cells. Emphasis is on developing evidence that living things are made of cells, distinguishing between living and non-living cells, and understanding that living things may be made of one cell or many and varied cells.
