Cells

Below is a picture of our animal cell anchor chart. The organelles that 5th graders must know for a plant cell are the cell membrane, the nucleus, the cytoplasm, and vacuoles.

Today we dissected an animal cell... An egg! They were to do a step by step cartoon with captions about the dissection. Here was the prompt on the board...

 

 

Jobs of each organelle:

Nucleus- the control center, or brains, of the cell (A and P)

Cell Membrane- holds the cell together and allows things to flow in and out of the cell (A and P)

Cytoplasm- jelly-like substance that keeps the cell healthy (A and P)

Vacuole- storage center of the cell (A and P)

Cell Wall- keeps cells structure and does not allow things to come in and out of the cell (plant cell)

Chloroplasts- allow the cell to make its own food using photosynthesis (plant cell)

The organelles of a plant cell they must know are cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, and vacuole...just like the animal cell. But, they must also know that plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts...animal cells do not!

This standard helps strengthen the students understanding of the base ten number system. They need to understand that the same digit in one place is ten times larger than that same digit one place to its right and that it is 1/10 the size of the place to its left.

Example: In the number 555,555 the five in the tens place is worth 50. That is ten times larger than the 5 to its right that is in the ones place and worth 5. The 5 in the tens place worth 50 is also 1/10 of the 5 in the hundreds place worth 500.
