This lesson teaches students how to draw diagrams of unspecialized animal and plant cells. It reviews the key differences between animal and plant cells and provides guidelines for biological drawing. Students will learn the parts of typical animal and plant cells by watching instructional videos and drawing their own diagrams following the rules of biological drawing. The lesson emphasizes that cells are the basic unit of life and how animal and plant cells differ in their structure.

and watch the video.
What are we going
to study in this
lesson? Can you
guess?
7. In this lesson, we
will be looking at
CELLS.
A CELL is the unit
of life.
It is the smallest
collection of
chemicals that
show the
characteristics of
life.
8. Animal vs Plant
TYPICAL ANIMAL CELL TYPICAL PLANT CELL
Animals and Plants are very different from each other.
The cells they are made up of are also different.
9. INTRODUCTION
Click on the triangle and
watch the video.
In this lesson, we will learn
how to draw diagrams of
unspecialised animal and
plant cells.
This video shows one way
we can draw an animal
cell…
11. Rules of Biological Drawing - A Summary
● Use pencil ONLY.
● Use clear, unbroken lines.
● NO SHADING! Stippling is allowed.
● Two-dimensional drawing
● Title below the drawing, in ALL CAPS and underlined (Título debajo del dibujo, en
TODAS LAS CAPS y subrayado)
● Label lines should end horizontally and be justified (Las líneas de la etiqueta deben
terminar horizontalmente y estar justificadas)
● Annotate labels unless expressly instructed to just label the drawing (Anote las
etiquetas a menos que se indique expresamente que solo debe etiquetar el dibujo.)
12. Drawing a Typical Animal Cell
Click the triangle
and watch the
video.
Following the video,
make your own
drawing in your
notebook and share
a picture of it with
your class group.
13. Drawing a Typical Plant Cell
Click the triangle
and watch the
video.
Following the video,
make your own
drawing in your
notebook and share
a picture of it with
your class group.
14. SUMMARY
● The cell is the unit of life. It is the smallest collection of chemicals that show the
characteristics of living things.
● The characteristics of living things include homeostasis, growth, and reproduction
● Animals and plants are very different from each other. Their cells are also different from
each other.
● When making biological drawings of animal and plant cells, there are several rules to
follow. They include: use only pencil, no shading, and write title of drawing in all caps
