Writing Prompt: Stem Cells
A cell divides and become two, and two become four. Stem cells can be trained to grow and divide into
heart muscle cells that clump together and beat. When those heart cells are injected into mice, they have
filled in for injured and dead cells and sped up recovery. After reading the article, The Stem Cell Divide,
how do you feel about using stem cells to cure serious human conditions?
STANDARD: S7L2b. Relate cell structures (cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, chloroplasts, and
mitochondria) to basic cell functions.

Kick Me Key Terms
Summarizer: What will your cell project be?
Differentiation:
To differentiate this lesson auditory, visual, and kinesthetic learners, activities such as demonstrations,
audio visual presentations, small groups utilizing problem solving activities and hands-on
experimentation. Students will benefit from interacting and working together toward a common goal.
Concepts will be introduced through whole class then follow up with small group or pairs. Frequent
regrouping occurs based on complexity of content, learning styles, and student interest.

photosynthesis, sunlight, water, sugar.
STANDARD: S7L2a. Explain that cells take in nutrients in order to grow and divide and to make
needed materials.
b. Relate cell structures (cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, chloroplasts, and mitochondria) to basic cell
functions.
