1.2+Cells

=**Summary** = We have now learned about living and nonliving things, microscopes and now the cell. Learning about the microscope introduced the cell, the basis for human life that has unique parts and structure. In this unit, we are going to learn all about cells, how they are different in plants than in animals and note how the parts in the cell operate. Important vocabulary words in this unit will be provided, but it is your job to learn the definitions and the importance of the words by creating relationship charts. Please follow the directions below. 

** Activity #1: The Parts of a Cell ** We are going to look at cell biology and the basic structure of cells.
 * 1) To read about cell biology, click here.
 * 2) To read about specific cell parts, click here.
 * 3) Create a relationship chart using the key vocabulary words that you have found throughout the reading, **additional** to those words that are provided in the following list: **Bacteria, Cell Membrane, Cell Theory, Nucleus, Eukaryotic Cell, Prokaryotic Cell ,** and **Viruses**
 * 4) Restate the key ideas and concepts from the readings in your own words.
 * 5) Instead of using symbols (such as +, -, 0 and ?) to show the relationship between the vocabulary words and the main ideas, you are going to give a brief explanation to support the relationship.

When you have completed your work for the day, don't forget to update your chart in the self-monitoring section.
