LEARNING GOAL:
To understand the hierarchy of structure of complex
organisms . That all is made up of cells
DK:
PK:
 systems do specific Investigate the types of
cells in the human body
jobs and contain
organs and other
parts to carry out
its job.
 All parts of these
systems are made
of tissues
 All tissues are made
from billlions of
microscopic cells
 That the same is
true for all living
things (plants also)

DK:
PK:
Cells contain structures
Compare the
generally named “Oganelles”
organelles in plant and
that perform specific functions animal cells
for the health of the cell and for
it to grow and divide.
List of Organelles and their
functions.
Success Criteria:
Be able to recall some of the major organelles in a cell and compare plant and animal cells

Success Criteria:
To be able to view the newsprint on the wetmount slide
and view prepared slides with highpower objective
lenses
LEARNING GOAL:
To know the meaning “magnification power” and how to
calculate it
DK
PK
Magnification power is
Reading the power of

microscope
Success Criteria
Able to complete the worksheet on microscopes.
Able to draw specimens seen with a microscope
LEARNING GOAL:
To know the organelles in a cell and their functions
DK
PK
List and describe function To differentiate between
of :
A plant and animal cell
Nucleus
Cell Membrane
Mitochondria
Golgi bodies
Endoplasmic reticulum
Vacuoles
Cytoplasm
Chloroplast
Cell wall
Success Criteria
To be able to list 5 organelles
LEARNING GOAL:
To know how cell specialisation allows organisms to be
more complex .
DK
PK
Cell Specialisation allows
To classify oranisms as
complex life forms. Simple simple or complex on the
life forms are unicellular
basis of cell specialisation.
and have no or little cell
specialisation. Different
cells built different types
of tissues used to
construct organs ect.

LEARNING GOAL: Research Assignment on a specialised
cell
Book investigation “Examining
Cells” Page 102 Part A and B
Book activity with lab techs to
have preset jelly plates and lollies
available .
Models to be assessessed at end
of lesson . They can then be taken
by students to eat.
(note it probably won’t be the
first cell that they have eaten
today) (Mention also that there
will also be plenty of their skin
cells in the model as well. Have
them wash their hands first.
