Summary: I learned more about cells and the origin of cells. Some cells such as the mitochondria and lysosomes can be useful but can sometimes cause diseases such as the mitochondrial disease and the lysosomal disease. But the cell I'm researching with my team mates is the cell membrane and the cell membrane is like the barrier between the cell and viruses. The cell membrane is also similar to the cell wall except the cell wall is only in plant cells while the cell membrane is in both animal and plant cells. There's also the origin of cells, the first cell is called prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells were the first type of cell with not many characteristics similar to the cells we know today. Then there's eukaryotic cells which are the cells we know today with a nucleus and other organelles.


SP8: Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information:
A major practice of science is to communicate ideas and the results of inquiry—orally; in writing; with the use of tables, diagrams, graphs and equations; and by engaging in extended discussions with peers.

Did you research something, used the CITE-IT strategy and then “told” the class about it?

OR

Did you present something to the class?


My team mates and I researched about the cell membrane and then we will tell the class information about the cell membrane through our video. We also cited our information on a google doc.
