Mitosis. Science Objects: Cell Theory. Science NetLinks: Cells 2: The Cell as a System. Photo credit: Clipart.com Purpose To review cell structures and investigate how the components of a cell operate as a system. Context This lesson is the second of a two-part series on cells. At this grade level, research suggests that understanding of systems can now be made more explicit. In Cells 1: Make a Model Cell, students compared a plant and animal cell and then made a model of a cell. Cells 2: The Cell as a System encourages students to view the cell as a system. Planning Ahead Preview the Cells: A Busy Factory resource used in this lesson. Students will read seven pages of online material in this lesson.
