Cells are the basic building blocks of life. They’re made up of cytoplasm, cell membranes, and a nucleus. Plant cells have a cell wall made of cellulose, chloroplasts and a big vacuole. That’s it, right? Right? Sorry, friends, but everything you know is wrong… Join Carl, The Heavy Metal Science Teacher on a tour through what’s REALLY happening inside your cells. Prepare to be amazed… This pack contains a PowerPoint presentation, a video of myself presenting a version of the PowerPoint, the script of the video and a worksheet to go with the PowerPoint or video, depending on which one you want to use. The video can obviously be used as a revision exercise either at the end of the section or in the run-up to the exams. Learning Objective: Describe and explain the structure and function of eukaryotic cells and their organelles. Target audience: A-Level Biology, BTEC National in Applied Science Unit 1 (Level 3).
