    1. Animal Cells

    2. Workshop Task In this workshop you will compare and contrast the major structures and functions of an animal cell that does reproduce with that of one that does not reproduce (neuron). After completing this workshop you should be able to do the following: Recognize the differences among cells, tissues, organs, and systems. Differentiate between the structures and functions of plant and animal cells. Recognize that cell division occurs in sequential stages. Know that materials move into and out of cells.

    3. The Exploration and Product You will review websites, gather research, and complete a few interactive websites. You will use this information to create a Venn Diagram.

    4. The Assessment Activity After viewing the websites, and completing the activities, you will create a Venn Diagram Poster that displays your learning. You will then use your Venn Diagram to create two 3D models. One will be of an animal cell that reproduces and one will be of a neuron. Please click below to find out the specific requirements of your project. (Performance Assessment)

    5. Important Online Information Sources The following websites will help you to search for information for your project: Animal Cells Cell Parts – You do not have to do the activity, only read information and view illustrations. Interactive Animal Cell Wikipedia Animal Cell The Neuron The Neuron – View information. You may click on “Index” for more information pertainting to the brain. Neuroscience for Kids Neuron Review The Great Brain Book, Chapter 5, pg 84 Cell Division Wikipedia Cell Division Mitosis and Meiosis

    6. Enrichment Opportunities 1. Create a role play exercise where you can act out mitosis and meiosis. 2. Interview a local neuroscientist in our area The following are excellent sites about the brain: The Whole Brain Atlas Neuroscience for Kids – Brain Basics Dissect a Sheep’s Brain Online! Brain Awareness Week Neuron Word Search

    7. Teacher Support Materials BENCHMARKS All living things are composed of cells, from just one to many millions, whose details usually are visible only through a microscope. Cells repeatedly divide to make more cells for growth and repair. Within cells, many of the basic functions of organisms such as extracting energy from food and getting rid of waste are carried out. About two thirds of the weight of cells is accounted for by water, which gives cells many of their properties. Websites Cited: Neuroscience For Kids Cells Alive! Wikipedia The Cell Page
