Students will understand cell structures and functions and how they are interdependent through exploring analogies.

This product includes a narrated PowerPoint presentation of new material (can also be imported into Google Slides) and guided/independent practice via two versions: MS Word and Google Docs in which students can complete and submit to their teacher electronically.

Students will: 1) explain why the cell is like a factory; 2) compare a factory that makes food items to a cell that makes proteins; and 3) describe the structures and functions of: nucleus, DNA, RNA, rough endoplasmic reticulum, ribosome, Golgi apparatus, mitochondrion, chloroplast, lysosome, cytoskeleton, and cell membrane.
