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

3. 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

4. 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

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

6. 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
