7th Grade Scientists Learning About Cells

The 7th graders are learning about the parts of the cell, how each part functions, and how those parts work together to produce important proteins like insulin and hemoglobin. A cell is like a factory with many distinct parts working together. They used that analogy and theater to help reinforce their understanding of how cells work. Students each played an important role, which included ribosomes, the nucleus, vacuole, and chloroplast just to name a few. There were hats and costumes involved as well.
