Topic 1: Cells
Students will:❑ explain that all organisms are made of cells❑ define the word “cell” as the smallest living
thing❑ use a microscope to see cells❑ label the different parts (organelles) of a cell❑ describe the job of each cell organelle

Introduction
by adding more LEGO “bricks”!
• How do babies get bigger?

Introduction
• Bricks = Cells• The “bricks” that make all living
things grow bigger are called cells
Your body is made of trillions of cells

Cells
• Cells are very small, and we cannot see them with our eyes.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tfy1mOT-gEQ
![Page 7: Unit 2: Life Sciences](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012722/61b45bc5da4cee607a1cc857/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Microscopes
• We can use a microscope to see cells.
• A microscope is a machine that lets us see very small things.
![Page 8: Unit 2: Life Sciences](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012722/61b45bc5da4cee607a1cc857/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Microscopes
• Microscopes work by using magnification.
• Magnification: Making something look bigger

Microscopes
• Microscopes are responsible for our understanding of what cells look like.
• They allow us to see what is invisible to the naked eye, helping us understand how life works.

Practice Using the Microscope
• DAY 1: Look at– Your hair– Newspaper letter “e”
• DAY 2: Look at cells from:– Onion– The inside of your cheek!!

Cells
• A cell is the smallest living thing
• A cell can perform all functions of life:
1. Take in nutrients (food)
2. Get energy
3. Grow
4. Reproduce
5. Remove waste

Cell Parts
• Each cell has different parts and each part has its own job to do.
• The parts of the cell are called organelles.
– Your heart is an organ that moves blood around your body.
– Organelles are tiny organs.
The body has organs, like your heart. The heart does an important job for your body.
The cell has organelles, which are tiny organs. Each one has an important job

Cell Parts
• There are 8 main organelles.
cytoplasm
Cell membrane
Mitochondria
Golgi Apparatus
Which organelle is missing from your picture?

Take a Tour of the Cell
• Watch this video to learn about each organelle: https://youtu.be/8IlzKri08kk?t=187 (start at 3:05)

Cell Parts (organelles):
Cell Membrane – a thin stretchy layer around the cell that controls what goes in and out of the cell.
The cell membrane is like a fence with a guard.
![Page 17: Unit 2: Life Sciences](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012722/61b45bc5da4cee607a1cc857/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Cytoplasm - a gel-like material inside the cell that holds other organelles in place, like jello.
Cell Parts (organelles):
The cytoplasm is like jello

Cell Parts (organelles):
Nucleus – Holds the DNA. The DNA is like a set of instructions that tell the cell what to do.
The nucleus is like a teacher or boss who gives instructions on what to do.
![Page 19: Unit 2: Life Sciences](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012722/61b45bc5da4cee607a1cc857/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Cell Parts (organelles):
Endoplasmic Reticulum – moves materials around the cell, like a road.
The endoplasmic reticulum is like the roads.
![Page 20: Unit 2: Life Sciences](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012722/61b45bc5da4cee607a1cc857/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Cell Parts (organelles):
Golgi Apparatus - are used to sort, package, and deliver proteins and energy, like a post office.
The Golgi Apparatus is like the post office.
![Page 21: Unit 2: Life Sciences](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012722/61b45bc5da4cee607a1cc857/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Cell Parts (organelles):
Ribosomes - make proteins for the cell, like a little factory.
The ribosomes are like a factory that makes important things but does not make pollution.
![Page 22: Unit 2: Life Sciences](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012722/61b45bc5da4cee607a1cc857/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What is a protein?• A protein is a chemical made by the
cell that may have any of thefollowing jobs:– Talking to other cells
– Building your muscles so you can move
– Helping your body heal when it is sick or hurt
– Making new cells
– Giving energyhttps://youtu.be/NbLdAho694A

Cell Parts (organelles):
Mitochondria - break down food and release energy to the cell; sometimes called the “powerhouse of the cell”
The mitochondria is like a battery because it gives the cell energy.

Cell Parts (organelles):
Lysosomes - are packages of chemicals used to digest waste.
The lysosomes are like the garbage and recycling bins.
