This week will bring a lot of exciting things to our science classroom! On Monday we will hear presentations by groups about all the different organelles, or parts, inside a cell. We will take notes about this information. Next, students will be given instructions for a Organelle Project that will take up a good portion of the next two weeks. This will be a quiz grade for students and their assessment over the parts of a cell. Then, we will begin to talk about some of the functions, or jobs, that cells can do. We will discuss active and passive transport, then do 2 labs to investigate diffusion and osmosis. Osmosis is a difficult topic, so we will spend a lot of time this week and next week to help us understand this topic.
