THURSDAY'S CLASS

Hello everyone! Thursday's class was simple! We did a cell lab which was really really fun because we saw the different types of cells, not just that but we also learned how cells work and the different types of cells!

Now let's take a look on the actual microscope that we were using in class!

As you can see, there are many parts on the microscope, but they forgot to label the switch whitch is down at the bottom kind of below the light source!

Now let's talk about the cells!

There are many different types of cells that we were exploring in class! There are plant cells, animal cells and many more! The ones that we were exploring in class were these two, but it was still fun to learn about them! Here is a picture of a plant cell and animal cell that might help you! It's also labeled!

Cells and "E" Lab

In class on Thursday May 26 we labeled Animal and Plant Cells. We also started and finished a small lab called the “E” Lab. I will explain what we did in that lab later on in my scribe post.



Parts of an Animal Cell:



Cell Membrane - The outside boundary of a cell


Cytoplasm - Liquid inside a cell


Golgi Body - A structure in a cell that receives proteins and other newly formed materials from the endoplasmic reticulum.


Lysosome - A small round cell structure containing chemicals that break down large food particles into smaller ones.


Mitochondria - Rod-shaped cell structure that converts food into energy.


Nucleus - A cell structure that contains nucleic acids.


Ribosome - A small grain like structure in the cytoplasm of a cell where proteins are made.


Endoplasmic Reticulum - Carries material from one part of the cell to another.


Vacuole - Stores food, water, waste, and other materials.

Parts of a Plant Cell:


Cell Membrane - The thin layer of protein and fat that surrounds the cell, but is inside the cell wall.


Cell Wall - A thick layer that surrounds a plant cell.


Chloroplast - Captures sunlight to produce food for the cell


Cytoplasm - Liquid inside a cell


Golgi body - A structure in a cell that receives proteins and other newly formed materials from the endoplasmic reticulum


Mitochondrion - Rod-shaped cell structure that converts food into energy.


Nucleus - A cell structure that contains nucleic acids.


Ribosome - A small grain like structure in the cytoplasm of a cell where proteins are made.


Endoplasmic Reticulum - Carries material from one part of the cell to another.


Vacuole - Stores food, water, waste, and other materials.

“E” Lab:


So now a little about the “E” Lab. When we did the “E” lab we had to cut out any type of “E or e” letter from a magazine that was the size of this font, and paste it on a slide that had a drop of water on it. Then we put a cover slip over it and pasted it on the microscope. The people that had chosen color full letter “e” had seen many color full dots mostly colors like blue, green, yellow, and light purple mixed with dark purple. But the people that chose letters that were black saw a black letter with little lines around it. After we were done looking at the letters we had a sheet to fill in of what we saw and we also had to draw a little pic of how the letter looked like.
