1. Who Am I ?

2. Learning Outcomes – What will I learn today?
I will learn:-
What words scientists use to describe living things.
What animal cells are like
What plant cells are like
What the differences are between plant and animal cells

3. How can you tell if something is living?
Working in pairs, write down five ways you might tell if something is alive.
Come together with another pair and compare your lists.
Report back which ideas were the same and which ideas were different.

4. Seven Characteristics
of Life
Movement
Respiration
Sensitivity
Nutrition
Excretion
Reproduction
Growth

5. We can remember this as:-
MRS NERG
Movement
Respiration
Sensitivity
Nutrition
Excretion
Reproduction
Growth

6. In order to be classed as alive, an object must do all seven of these things.
Eg. Is this object living? Remember to think about all seven characteristics!

7. Plant and animal Cells
In pairs look at the diagrams of the plant and the animal cell. Do you notice any differences? Be prepared to describe them to the class!

8. The Animal Cell
Cell Membrane
Cytoplasm
Nucleus

9. The Plant Cell Cell Membrane Cytoplasm Permanent Vacuole Nucleus
Chloroplast
Cell Wall

11. Review – Can I:- List the seven characteristics of living things?
Label an animal cell?
Label a plant cell?
Describe the differences between plant and animal cells?

12. Learning Outcomes – What will I learn today?
I will learn:-
How to use a microscope.
How to prepare onion cells for viewing under a microscope
Work out magnification
Find out about the size of cells

13. The Microscope
A microscope is used to make things look bigger.

14. The Microscope
Eye piece
Lens
Focus Knob
Stage
Mirror/Lamp

15. eye piece magnification x lens magnification

16. Making an
Onion Slide

17. How big are cells?

18. Review – Can I:- Label a diagram of a microscope?
Make a slide of onion cells?
Use a microscope to look at cells?
Work out the magnification of the microscope?
Appreciate how small cells really are?

19. Learning Outcomes – What will I learn today?
I will learn:-
That cells do different jobs
Cells are the right shape for their jobs
The names of different cells
That cells can work together to build organisms

20. Special Cells for Special Jobs
Some cells have special jobs to do and they have special features which help them to do this.
We say they are specialised.
Use the following web site to complete the your worksheet:-
BBC - Schools - KS3 Bitesize - Science - Biology - Cells

21. Cells work as part of a team
Few cells work by themselves.
Similar ones come together to do a particular job. They form a tissue e.g. muscle cells form muscle tissue

22. Different tissues come together to form organs.
Name the organs below:-

23. Organs work together in organ systems, e.g.
Circulatory system
Respiratory system

24. Examples circulatory system respiratory system digestive system
nervous system
reproductive system
excretory system

25. Review – Can I? Name some specialised plant and animal cells?
Describe what makes these cells good at their jobs?
Explain what a tissue is and give an example?
Give an example of an organ and organ system?
