Nathan's Scribe Post for Tuesday, May 24
The first thing we did today was discuss the homework assignments we had and when they were due. Our homework is to:
For the Cell Project, what we have to do is use everyday objects to create a representative model of an animal cell or a plant cell. For each organelle, we need to choose an object that symbolizes or represents the organelle’s function. Next, we create a table which lists each organelle you have represented in your model. For each organelle, state its main function. For more information about the project or the rubric, it's in grade 7 science, on moodle. It's a word document at the bottom of the page called "Cell Project".
What the Table is Supposed to Look Like
After the homework discussion, we moved into cell diagrams. First, we had to take out our highlighted "Building Blocks of Life- The Parts of a Cell" sheet (also on moodle). After going through each part of a cell, we color-coded each part with a different color for each. Then we each received two sheets with two different pictures on them. One had a picture of a plant cell, and the other with an animal cell. Our job was to label it and use the color-code we created to color that part in the picture.
The things we had to label on our diagrams:
Here is
a cool animal cell labeling game! See how well you know your animal cell parts.

The things we had to label on our diagrams:
- Plasma/Cell Membrane
- Cytoplasm
- Nucleus
- Rough ER (RER)
- Smooth ER (SER)
- Nucleolus
- Ribosomes
- Golgi complex
- Golgi apparatus
- Mitochondria
- Vesicles
- Vacuole
- Lysosomes (Mostly in animal cells)
- Cloroplast (Only in plant cells)
- Cell wall (Only in plant cells)
