Check out the TedEd video below to learn more about the CELL THEORY and how it was created.
Complete the reading and questions below.
3. CELLS WITH BILL
Task: Learn more about the important aspects of cellular life with Bill Nye.
Follow along with the T/F page below. You should complete your T/F page and put it in the hand in bin for Mr. Moore to see.

4. HOW CAN WE VIEW MICROSCOPIC CELLS? THE COMPOUND MICROSCOPE!
For scientists like you who are aiming to look at cellular life, the compound microscope is your best friend! It's a surprisingly simple machine that has paved the way for many important discoveries throughout scientific history. Check out the video below for info about the invention and development of the microscope:
Task 1 - Get to know the parts and functions of the compound microscope. You will be expected to know and understand these 8 important parts for quizzes, tests and our upcoming lab period...
- Ocular Lens - Stage + Stage Clips - Revolving Nose Piece - Objective Lenses - Light Source - Coarse Focus - Fine Focus - Diaphragm Task 2 - Magnification How do the ocular and objective lenses work together to magnify objects? By how much do they magnify objects? How much larger do objects become when looking at them through the different microscope lenses? Use the image below to help you complete the magnification practice page. |
5. CELLS! CELLS! THEY'RE MADE OF ORGANELLES!
BIG QUESTIONS: HOW DO CELLS WORK? WHAT ARE THE IMPORTANT PARTS THAT HELP CELLS SURVIVE AND FUNCTION?
Over the coming weeks, I'll expect you to know and understand these important organelles:
Nucleus Chromosomes Cell Membrane
Cell Wall Cytoplasm Chloroplast
Vacoules Mitochondria Cilia
Flagella
***What are these parts? What do they look like? What are their jobs/functions in the cell?

***What are these parts? What do they look like? What are their jobs/functions in the cell?
Task: Create a model of a plant or animal cell
***We'll begin creating your cell in class on Tuesday, March 31st. I can provide bristol board, paper and some art supplies. Other than that, it's up to you to bring in any special materials you would like to use. Example: If you want to use solid objects or food for your model, you should find them at home.
DUE DATE: MONDAY, APRIL 13TH.

6. EXAMINING LIVING THINGS
There are 6 different types of living things in our world. Before doing the reading below, quiz yourself! Can you guess the names of the different types of living things?
When finished reading...
1) Answer the questions at the bottom.
2) Create an idea web in your notes to show the six different living things. Complete the web by adding three examples of each. You may need to think back about your knowledge about living things. You can also research with our class books or websites you trust.

Examining How Living Things Function: Sheep and Cow Eyes
In the next few weeks you will have the opportunity to
dissect a real sheep eyeball in class.
WHY WOULD I WANT TO DO THAT MR. MOORE!??!
- To discover the important working parts of the eye.
- To gain dissection/lab skills.
- To realize that it's not gross. You can handle more guts and gore than you think! :)
THE 8 PARTS STUDENTS WILL BE EXPECTED TO UNDERSTAND:
- Iris - Vitreous Humor
- Aqueous Humour - Ciliary Muscles
- Optic Nerve - Retina
- Cornea - Sclera
You should also spend some time thinking about the importance of the eye. What specific things would you have trouble doing if you woke up tomorrow without your eyesite?
How is the eye like a machine?
What are some things/features that help protect the eye?
If you want to learn further: spend some time researching HOW the images that we see reach the brain.
You will learn most of these parts/functions in class and during the lab, but for now, here is a helpful video that you can use to get started:

7. BONUS: EXAMINING HOW CELLS WORK
***Due to timing, we didn't have time to focus on this section during the unit.
You do not NEED to know the information in this section, but I will add 1-2 short BONUS QUESTIONS to the unit test about this topic. If you want to earn the bonus marks, spend some time getting to know Endocytosis and Exocytosis below.

How do large particles enter and exit the cell? How do cells take in nutrients and leave waste behind?
Task - Check out the reading and questions below. When finished, create a notes page to answer the following questions:
What does "endo" mean?
What does "exo" mean?
Explain the steps that take place during endocytosis and exocytosis.
How are these processes important to the development of healthy cells?
