Week 5 (9/08- 9/11)
This week our goals is to
begin looking at the structure of cells. Students will begin learning about
the different parts of a cell. Students will need to be able to label the cell
with the proper parts and explain what each organelle's function is. I have
attached the power point we will be using to learn about cells.
