Directions for 5th Grade Plant and
Animal Cell Simulation Project:
Basic Skills:
S5L3 Students will diagram and label parts of various cells
(plant, animal, single-celled, multi-celled)
S5CS4 Students will use ideas of system, model, change, and
scale in exploring scientific and technological matters.
Directions:
1. Make a list of the following cell organelles in your notebook:
3. Make a list of the parts of a plant and animal cell. You
should have two lists, one for plant cells and one for animal
cells.
4. Make a two drawings in your MusicTech notebook. One for a
plant cell and one for an animal cell. Include the parts and
label them.
5. We will use these drawings to create Scratch Animation
projects. If you know how to do Scratch, start a Scratch project
and begin creating Sprites for each cell part.
Save your Scratch file in your File Folder on the Scratch Server
Name the file "Lastname Cell Project Teachername"
Do not save to NeboMusicWork.
Standards for Scratch Cell Simulation
Project:
1. Display an animated animal or plant Cell showing the
interaction between the parts of the cell.
2. When a part of the cell is clicked - it "says" its function
for 3 seconds.
3. Extra Credit: Clicking a button will change the animal cell to
a plant cell and show the different parts.
