plant and animal cells lesson plan

Tiffany Zamora

Lesson Cycle Lesson Title/Topic: 7th Grade Science Concept: The structure & functions of organism organelles Standards/Rationale: 112.19 (b) 12 (D): Differentiate between structure & function in plant & animal cell organelle, including cell membrane, cell wall, nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochrondion, chloroplast, and vacuole. Assessment: Matching & labeling Learning Target: The student will analyze the structure and worksheets (turn-in), quiz-quiz-trade with a function of plant and animal cells by by  partner completing a worksheet with a partner with 10 out of 14 answered correctly.

Materials: Pen/pencil, paper, glue sticks, colored pencils Lesson Cycle: (Direct instruction)

The teacher will: Focus/Mental Set: Have students watch Cells Cells- Part of the cell rap video on youtube. Explain that all all living things are made up of cells which are the basic  building blocks of life. Within plant and animal cells we have organelles, which have specific functions that keep the cell going. Just like we have organs in our  bodies that keep us alive, think of the organelles the cell’s organs. Tell the students that a game will be played pla yed at the end of class for chance to win candy for the winning group.

The student will: Watch video.

Draw each cell organelle in the blank Teacher Input: Give the students a chart with all the organelles listed and have them  provided when prompted. When called draw the organelles and make notes about upon, take Velcro organelle and place on each when discussed in the blank provided.  poster of cell in its appropriate location.

Call on different students each time and give them 2 organelles (one to

each student) if they are located on both cells. Begin discussing the organelles! 1. Cell or plasma membrane- explain to students that this organelle is located in both cells and this is a thin outside layer that controls what comes into and goes outside a cell like a GATE. The cell membrane  protects the cell. Have the students draw the cell membrane. Call on 2 students, give them Velcro organelle to stick on poster. 2. The next membrane is the cell wall, ONLY located located in plants cells. cells. The cell wall is a tough, rigid outer layer la yer that protects and supports the plant cell, kinda like a BRICK WALL. Have the students draw the cell wall and give one student a label to place on poster. 3. The nucleus is one of the most important structures in the cell. This dense bell-shaped organelle contains DNA and controls all of the cell’s activities. It is also is also responsible for the production of  proteins. It’s the CONTROL CENTER or BRAIN of both plant and animal cells. Have students draw and give 2 students each a label to place on poster. 4.  Next is the cytoplasm, located in  both cells. The cytoplasm is the  jelly-like fluid located outside the nucleus that pads and supports organelles. Have the students draw the cytoplasm and give 2 students cytoplasm velcro to locate on the  poster. 5. The vacuoles are the organelles located in both animal and plant cells that stores food, water, waste

1. Draw a picture of the cell membrane and stick Velcro cell membrane to cell on board.

2. Draw cell wall and stick Velcro cell wall to cell on board.

3. Draw nucleus and stick Velcro nucleus to cell on board.

4. Draw cytoplasm and stick Velcro cytoplasm to cell on board.

5. Draw vacuoles and stick Velcro vacuoles to cell on board.

they will store just about anything like a VACuum bag. Have the students draw a vacuole and give them 1 each to label on the poster. 6. The next organelle is the mitochondria located in both cells. This structure produces the energy the cell need to carry of a function and it looks like a bean. Remember I am a “MIghty powerhouse of the cell. Have the students draw and label the mitochondria. 7. The last organelle to discuss is the chloroplasts which are located ONLY in plant cells. The chloroplasts capture energy from the sun and uses it to produce food. Remember the chloroplast as making the cell something sweet to eat. Hand the students draw the chloroplast and label on the poster.

opposite sides of the room. Explain to the center of the room when they know the class that a question will be asked and one answer. The group with the most most points student from each group will run to the wins a small piece of candy each. middle of the room and lightly tap a stapler. The first tap the stapler gets gets to answer the question first, if the question is answered correctly then that group gets a  point, if not then the other group gets to answer for a point if correct. If both groups groups fail to answer correctly, then they go to the  back of the line and the game continues. The following questions will be asked: 1.  Name the organelle that is the jellylike fluid inside of the cell. 2. What is the mitochondria responsible for? 3. What organelle contains DNA and is the control center of the cell? 4. What structure is the powerhouse of the cell? 5.  Name 2 structures only present in  plant cells. 6. What organelle is responsible for storing materials and is much smaller in animal cells? 7. What is the function of the chloroplasts?
