2. Write a definition for unicellular organisms and identify examples
My learning outcomes are…
To DESCRIBE what a unicellular organism is.
To EXPLAIN the structures of Euglena and Amoeba
I will show success by…
Write a definition for unicellular organisms and identify examples
Draw a diagram on Euglena and create a fact sheet on their different structures

3. What is a unicellular organism?
A unicellular organism is an organism that is made up of just one cell. It is not a plant or an animal, these are made up of lots of cells.

4. Design an imaginary cell that lives in water.
Draw features that would help the cell to carry out as many of the special functions as possible.

5. An Amoeba is a unicellular organism that has no fixed shape
An Amoeba is a unicellular organism that has no fixed shape. They look a bit like a blob of jelly.
They can be found in fresh water, salt water, wet soil and even inside animas

6. A Euglena is a microscopic unicellular organism found in fresh water

7. Using your netbooks create a fact sheet on Euglena and Amoeba
Include detail to answer the following questions:
Where are they found?
How do they move around?
What do they eat?
How do they reproduce?

8. 1. Does this diagram show an amoeba or a euglena?
2. How is this organism different from an amoeba?
3. Can you point out some parts of the cell that allow this organism to survive?
