A Cell Is Like A...

In seventh grade science class, the students were challenged to develop an analogy for either a plant or animal cell that demonstrated their understanding of the various organelles within the cell. They created a display of their analogy using a poster and presented the information to the fourth grade class. Example analogies included…

“A plant cell is like a garden.”

“A plant cell is like a city.”

“An animal cell is like a power plant.”

“An animal cell is like a factory.”

To conclude, the students then directed the fourth grade on how to construct their own simple cell models using various materials. Our seventh graders did a fantastic job handling this task and showed such professionalism. Bravo, seventh grade!
