This week, we discussed the basic properties of cells. We did a math investigation to determine how changes in cell size (surface area and volume) affect the health of a cell. Remember that a "small cell is a happy cell!" We also had the chance to observe cheek and onion cells under the microscope in order to view a few differences between plant and animal cells. Next week we will be doing a "cell analogy" project in order to help us learn about the many cell organelles that exist inside of cells.
