Here is the link to the Bill Nye film we watched today. You will need to watch the entire show. Make sure to watch with your parents, or have them help you get it started. Do not venture outside of the site I posted, unless you are given permission from your parents. Once you finish watching Bill Nye click on the back button to come back to this page, or X it out. Be sure to take notes in your journal, and enjoy this easy homework assignment. :)

Cells

http://www.cellsalive.com/cells/cell_model.htm

For homework between Thursday and Sunday.
Lets see how this goes. I want you click on the website above. It will take you to a site that has a black box. In the black box, written in blue, are the words, "To begin choose animal cell or plant cell." Under the box, in green, are the words plant cell and animal cell. Click on one, and move over the different areas to read what each part is and click on the word to see what that part of the cell does. We will be reviewing what each part of the cell does for plants and animal cells on Monday. Make sure once you have read all about either the plant or animal that you click on the back button at the top of the page then click on the other cell to review it as well. This is meant to be informative and fun. I do expect you to be able to tell me about this site Monday. If you were unable to get to it please have your parents write to me. This is our first try at this, so don't worry it it doesn't come up, or you have trouble. Have fun with it.

P.S What type of cell is in the picture?
