Free Science Unit Grades 5-6
Plant and Animal Cells
Are you ready for another Simply Scientific Unit? Because here it is! In this open-and-go science unit, your learners will discover the differences between plant and animal cells and why they are different. They will label an animal cell, compare the two using a diagram, and plan a fun project to show their learning!What is Included in this FREE Unit?
Just like the first Simply Scientific! Unit on Electricity (click here to see that) this unit is easy to use and right to the point. It's a great starting point to expand knowledge if your learner is interested, or can work great if you just want to quickly cover or review material. These units are made to cover the Progression of Learning in the Quebec education system, but can be used no matter where you live to cover science concepts!
So what's inside? You'll find:
- 3 pages of reading describing the differences and similarities between plant and animal cells
- A labelling worksheet
- A venn diagram where learners will compare the two cells
- A fun project that students will plan and complete themselves for their portfolios
