Introduction to Cells Foldable

Directions:

1.  Take three blank sheets of paper and slide the papers so the bottoms are about 1 cm. apart.

2.  Folder over the tops and staple the top fold. Label it as follows:

Cell Theory Flap:

1.  Top flap- Make a timeline showing the history of the cell theory and the scientists that have contributed to it. Use your notes.

2.  Bottom flap- List the three parts of the cell theory.

Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes Flap:

1.  Top flap- Make a chart of the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

2.  Bottom Flap- Write what they both have in common and paste a picture illustrating both types of cells.

Levels of Organization:

1.  Top flap- Define the following: cell organelles, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, and organism.

2.  Bottom flap- Glue a picture on it and draw a flow chart or bubble chart showing the flow of the levels.

Cell Differentiation:

1.  Top flap- On the left side define cell differentiation. On the right side answer why cell differentiation is needed?

2.  Bottom flap- Illustrate cell differentiation and paste it on.

Plant Cell vs. Animal Cell:

1.  Top flap- Cut and paste the plant cell. Put a box around the cell organelles that are unique to plant cells. Define each function as well.

2.  Bottom flap- Cut and paste the animal cell. Put a circle around the cell organelles that are unique to animal cells. Define each function as well.
