1. Introduction to cells
foldable

2. Warm up Today we will be making a foldable, you will need,
3 sheets of paper (plain or construction paper, your choice)
Colored pencils or markers if you want to make it colorful

3. Set up Slide the pages so the bottoms are approximately 1 cm apart
Fold over the tops(to add more flaps) that are also 1 cm apart
Staple the top fold
Label the flaps
Introduction to Cells
Cell Theory
Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes
Levels of Organization
Cell Differentiation
Plant Cell vs. Animal Cell

4. Cell theory flap All organisms are made up of one or more cells
The smallest unit of life is a cell
All cells come from pre-existing living things

5. PROKARYOTES VS EUKARYOTES tOP FLAP
Eukaryotic Cells
PROKARYOTIC CELL
Ancestral cells
Very small
Circular DNA
More derived cells
Larger than prokaryotic cells
DNA is stored in a membrane bound nucleus

6. Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes Bottom flap

DNA
Cell membrane
Ribosomes
Cytoplasm

7. Levels of organization top flap
CELL ORGANELLE – internal parts of the cell
CELL – basic structural and functional unit of tissue
TISSUE – a collection of cells of the same type that come together to perform a function
ORGAN – a collection of tissues that come together to perform a function
ORGAN SYSTEM – a collection of organs that come together to perform a function
ORGANISM – a collection of organ systems

8. Levels of organization bottom flap

9. Cell differentiation top flap
CELL DIFFERENTATION – process through which the cells become specialized in structure and function
Why is cell differentiation needed?
It is our cells ability to turn into different types of tissues and organs, which are needed for our body to develop and function properly

11. Plant cell vs. Animal cell
Top flap
From your handout, cut out the diagram of the plant cell and glue or tape to the top flap
Bottom flap
From your handout, cut out the diagram of the animal cell and glue or tape to the bottom flap
HIGHLIGHT, OUTLINE, OR COLOR THE MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE PLANT AND ANIMAL CELLS
