They will learn that coral is an animal.  \nObjectives  \n• Students will learn that coral is an animal.  \n• Students will learn the differences between plant and animal cells.  \nMaterials  \nPart 1:  \nCoral fragments or pictures of a reef  \nMicroscopes Magnifying glasses Plant slide (onion skin)  \nAnimal slide (cheek scraping or if access a polyp) Overhead projector  \n“Animal and Plant Cells Worksheets”(1 per student)  \n“Cell Parts” worksheet ( 1 per student)  \nTransparency of Plant, Animal, and Coral Cell examples Transparency of“Coral Cell with Zooxanthellae”  \nPart 2:  \nIndex cards for each organelle (card will include name, script and instructions for the play)  \nLarge nametags with organelle name for around the student’s neck Cardboard boxes  \nLarge index cards with “Energy”,“Sugar” and “Protein”  \n6” x 9” piece of white paper (1 per student)  \nMaking Connections  \nBy learning the differences between plant and animal cells students will begin to explore and understand the ways in which plant and animals are different. They will recall these differences at various times throughout the remainder of the unit.  \nTeacher Prep for Activity  \nPart 1: Photocopy, both “Animal and Plant Cell” Worksheets,“Cell Parts” and make a transparencies of each cell sample picture and the“Coral Cell with Zooxanthellae”(Cover the instructions on this page) . Gather your coral fragments and familiarize yourself with your coral. Have magnifying glasses or a digital microscope nearby  \nPlants and Animal Cells 1.1  \nPartnerships for Reform through Investigative Science and Math  \nso you can look closely at the calyx (the calyx is where the actual polyp lives) . If you have premade slides of plant and animal cells, have them ready near your microscopes. If you need to make your own slides, place a very thin slice of an onion on a clean microscope slide and put a drop of iodine on it (iodine can be purchased at most drug stores), and slide the cell cover over the iodine and onion slice. To make an animal cell, scrape the lining of your inner cheek with a toothpick and smear the cells on a microscope slide. Place a drop of water on your cheek cells and slip the slide cover on the water and cheek cells.  \nA sample picture of each a plant, animal and coral cell slide has been provided at the bottom of this lesson plan.  \nPart 2: Print the scripts for animal and plant cells. Cut out each cell part and paste it on a small note card. Write each cell part name on large note cards and punch two holes on either corner. Tie off yarn or string to create a necklace for nametags. Create an open space in your classroom for where the play will take place.  \nBackground  \nOnly living things have cells. Plant cells can be distinguished from animal cells by three characteristics. First, plant cells are bounded by a cell membrane and a rigid cell wall, whereas animal cells have only a cell membrane to protect their insides from the outside environment. Second, plant cells have mitochondria and chloroplasts (an organelle that uses photosynthesis) to produce energy, while animal cells only have mitochondria. Finally, plant cells contain vacuolesstorage units-which are absent in many animal cells.  \nThe similarities between plant and animal cells are that they are both eukaryotic cells (cells that contain a nucleus). They share many kinds of cell parts (or organelles) such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lyso","cbCaimNHaNpMBlCo","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimNHaNpMBlCo","pdf",2544398,"English","# Overview\n## Concepts and Benchmarks\n# Summary and Objectives\n# Materials\n## Part 1\n## Part 2\n# Background\n## Plant vs. Animal Cell Differences\n## Similarities and Coral Zooxanthellae\n# Procedure\n## Part 1: Investigation\n## Part 2: Worksheets and Cell Parts Play","[{\"question\":\"What is the main learning focus of the unit?\",\"answer\":\"Students learn how plant and animal cells differ and understand that coral is an animal.
