8. Wednesday October 15, 2014
WARM UP-TAKE
OUT YOUR TERRARIUM LAB
OBSERVATION SHEET. WRITE THE DATE
U N D E R “ D A Y 1 ” .
LOOK AT YOUR TERRARIUMS. WRITE/
DRAW SOME OBSERVATIONS THAT YOU
SEE

9. Objective
 Students will be able to describe the organelles found
in an animal cell.

10. Wrap Up Questions
1. How do you think your terrarium turned out?
Why?
2. Why do you think we made terrariums?
3. What does a terrarium have to do with
photosynthesis?
4. What part of photosynthesis are we eliminating in
the closed container. Explain
5. What do you think will happen with your
terrarium?

11. Animal Cell Coloring Questions

12. Animal Cell Organelles

WARM UP-WHY
DO YOU THINK ANIMAL CELLS ARE
DIFFERENT FROM PLANT CELLS?

15. Objective
 Students will be able to differentiate between plant
and animal cells.

16. What would you choose?
 Share your story with your group

17. Animal Cells
 Do not have cell walls or chloroplasts!
 Some have vacuoles, some do not
 We are made of animal cells, which are all
specialized to perform different functions

18. Characteristics of Animal Cells
 Animals are Multicellular (made of more than one
cell)
 Eukaryotes- cells have a nucleus
 Heterotrophs
 Locate, capture, eat, and digest food
 live in extremely diverse environments
 Oceans, mountains, extreme hot, extreme cold

19. Animal Cell Learning Check

20. Differences between plant and animal cells
 Read and highlight the article on “Differences
between Plant and Animal Cells”
 Fill out the graphic organizer comparing and
contrasting plant and animal cells

21. Friday October 17, 2014
WARM UP-FILL
IN THE VENN DIAGRAM SHOWING THE
SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
PLANT AND ANIMAL CELLS.

22. Objective
 Students will be able to distinguish between a plant
and an animal cell.

23. Differences between plant and animal cells
 Read and highlight the article on “Differences
between Plant and Animal Cells”
 Fill out the graphic organizer comparing and
contrasting plant and animal cells

24. Plant Cells
 Eukaryotes- cells have a nucleus
 HAVE chloroplasts and cell walls
 Autotrophs- make their own food
 Use the process of photosynthesis
 Plants are multicellular

25. Plant vs. Animal Mini Poster
 Create a way to compare and contrast plant and animal
cells.
 Make sure you include facts about both types of cells.
 Include how they are similar, as well as how they are
different.
 You may make one of the following…
 Story
 Cartoon
 Diagram
 Picture
 Paragraph
