Today we looked at cells in all their GLORY!! You should be able to distinguish between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes and know what all the organelles do. We took more notes from THIS power point (the drawing of the cells) and we watched the Amoeba Sisters video below to do THIS worksheet. Finally we practiced recognizing organelles and their functions. Come and see Ms. Wood if you need this worksheet! -- Worksheet is due on Wednesday.
