Bio 1: Cells (7A)

year 7 BIOLOGY TOPICS

In Year 7 Biology you will learn about how we know if something is alive and what living things are made of. You will see how different living things interact together in their environment and what makes organisms the way they are.

If you think you know all about Year 7 Biology try this Year 7 Biology Mega Quiz.

7B Reproduction

7C Environment and Feeding Relationships

7D Variation and Classificaton

7A CELLS

Unit 7A is about the structure and function of cells and how they work together to fulfill different roles in a multicellular organism. In this unit you will learn how to use a microscope.

Here are learning objectives for this topic:

I can

Use a microscope
Name the parts of a microscope
Draw diagrams of microscope images that are: 2D, Clear, Labeled, In pencil
Make a microscope slide
Label a diagram of a flower
Identify if a cell is a plant or animal cell

I understand

that all living things are made of cells
cells → tissues → organs → organ systems → organism
that animal cells are different to plant cells
that all cells have a nucleus, cell membrane and cytoplasm
what each part of a cell does
that cells are specialized, and adapted to their function
that growth happens when cells increase in size or divide
why viruses are not cells
