EAL Nexus Resource Cells Labelling activity Subject: Science Age group: 12 – 14, 15 - 16 Topic: Cells, organs and life processes © Bell Educational Trust 2016 EAL Nexus – free downloadable teaching materials https://eal.britishcouncil.org/ This resource was originally developed by Z. Davies and has been adapted for EAL Nexus.

Plant cell Print this slide onto a A3 paper and give one per EAL learner or one per a small group (2-4 learners)

Plant cell: label the diagram and match the parts to their functions nucleus where respiration happens full of chlorophyll, which traps light needed for photosynthesis cell wall controls what the cell does cell membrane covers the membrane and gives strength to the cell mitochondria controls what gets in and comes out of the cell Show this slide to the EAL learners and explain that they need to label the plant cell with its parts and match the parts to their functions vacuole lots of membranes, made from proteins and fats cytoplasm large space full of fluid chloroplasts

Plant cell: parts and functions Cytoplasm - lots of membranes, made from proteins and fats Nucleus -controls what the cell does Cell membrane - controls what gets in and comes out of the cell Vacuole -large space full of fluid Mitochondria - where respiration happens Show this slide after completion of the activity so the EAL learners can check their answers. Cell wall - covers the membrane and gives strength to the cell Chloroplasts - full of chlorophyll, which traps light needed for photosynthesis

Animal cell Print this slide onto a A3 paper and give one per EAL learner or one per a small group (2-4 learners)

Animal cell: label the diagram and match the parts to their functions controls what the cell does and carries the genetic information cytoplasm nucleus all chemical reactions happen in there cell membrane Show this slide to the EAL learners and explain that they need to label the plant cell with its parts and match the parts to their functions controls what goes in and what comes out of the cell mitochondria where respiration happens

Animal cell: parts and functions Cell membrane – controls what goes in and what comes out of the cell Nucleus –controls what the cell does and carries the genetic information Mitochondria – where respiration happens Show this slide after completion of the activity so the EAL learners can check their answers. Cytoplasm - all chemical reactions happen in there
