Objectives

• To observe and explain the shapes and
  characteristics of cells of unicellular and
  multicellular organisms.
• To observe and compare the main components of
  plant and animal cells.

We would like your exhibition design company to
develop an exhibition on cells for us. Could
you do this for me?

Engage

• You have four tasks for this project
• Build 3D models of plant and animal cells
• Write and design Information posters to show the
  functions of cell and their components.
• Design a hands-on activities about the movement
  of substances into and out of cells.
• Write and design a brochure providing an overview
  of the exhibition.

Think further! Why do we want models of plant and
animal cells?

Let me introduce you to one of our consultants,
Professor Jutharat. She will help you to
understand the science behind the exhibition.

Hello! Nice to meet you. I am a cell biologist.
Do you know what a cell is?

All living things are made of cells. Cells are
sometimes called the building blocks of life.
Scientists say they are the fundamental units of
living things. How big do you think cells are?
11
Explore
Right! They are very small. What could we use to
look at cells? (Im giving you a clue here!)

Right! We use a light microscope. Do you know
how to use one?

Now you know what cells are and how to use a
microscope. Look at these cells and draw what
you can see.

What can you see inside the cells? Are all the
cells the same? How do they differ? Are there any
differences between the plant and animal cells?

It is difficult to see the components inside the
cells. I will show you what is inside the cell.

Could you see all of the structures shown in the
diagrams?

Great! I think you are ready to make your cell
models now. I also have some materials for you.
Select the things you want. You will need to
search for further information - perhaps in a
textbook or on the internet.
