The lesson plan describes a two-part lesson on cells for an 8th grade science class. In the first part, students will learn about the characteristics and structures of cells through the use of question cards, clue cards, models and diagrams. The second part focuses on the differences between plant and animal cells, using models and diagrams to illustrate the distinctions. The goal is for students to understand cell characteristics, structures and functions, and be able to compare plant and animal cells. Various interactive teaching methods are employed to actively engage the students in learning.
