In this LIVE course, which is geared toward an introduction to cells and their functions, your student will learn: Week 1 - Lesson: What are Cells? - Cell Theory - Prokaryotic versus Eukaryotic Cells - Different Types of Cells Week 2 - Lesson: Characteristics of Living Things - Living versus non-living - Project #1: Create a Fictional Living Creature - Directions and Rubric Week 3 - Lesson: What are Organelles? - Quizizz on Organelles and Function - Project #2: Create Your Own Cell Diagram - Directions and Rubric Week 4 - Lesson: Cell Division (Mitosis) - Video and Group Lesson - Kahoot - Quiz There will be a short lesson, group activities, review games, and vocabulary review in each class. Students will be given weekly note sheets, two projects (#1 Characteristics of Life and #2 Cell Diagram), digital practice sheets, and small (optional) quizzes to test your student's understanding. All work can be completed digitally, but if your student prefers doing the projects on paper, the following materials are suggested: paper, color pencils, and small household items for the cell diagram project.
Learning Goals
By the end of this course, your student will understand cell theory, what characteristics define a living organism versus non-living, visually identify prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, describe different types of cells and why they may have more or less specific organelles, define the function of each organelle, and identify the sequence of mitosis and its importance for the body.
