Today we continued with notes from our note sheet.   We filled out Types of Cells and "Why are cells so small".   For homework you need to do:   The first and third tables in your note sheet---Spectrum of Biology (starting with atom) and Cell Organelles.  Make sure you fill in the function and a picture for each of these.   Textbook link found HERE.

If you need to add some songs to your play list, there are two great ones to help you review cell organelles.
