7th Grade Life Science Class: Cell Experiments
From Nick Scacco, Science Teacher:
7th Grade Life Science students have been exploring the world of cells in class. We made connections to one of the fundamental concepts of life science (the characteristics of living things) and to cell theory. The class watched Simon Checa dissect a fish from a local fish market in the kitchen. They took notes on the different systems and organs they were able to see as he worked. Next, they used microscopes to view the connections between cells, tissues, organs and systems up close. Simon breaded and fried the fish, and we ended the class period by sharing chips and fish tacos as a group. The class worked on a paragraph to share what they learned about cells, organ systems, and the characteristics of living things. Special thanks to Simon for helping the students learn about fish and helping us make our delicious fish tacos!
