Friday April 3rd and Monday April 6th, 2009

Friday we discussed Plant and Animal Cells. We illustrated what each looks like, and discussed the main structures in each. We then constructed a Double Bubble Map comparing the two.

Plant and Animal Cells both have:
Cell membrane- let things in and out
Mitochondria- "power plants" of the cell
Vacuoles- store stuff for later use
Nucleus- tells everything else what to do
Cytoplasm- jelly-like substance that surrounds everything

Plant Cells Have:
Cell Wall- surround the cell membrane and give plants their rigid structure
Chloroplasts- aide in photosynthesis, hold chlorophyll, which gives plants their green color

Monday we started a foldable discussing all of our seven main body systems and are learning about their main organs and functions. See Thursday's post for more on this.
