Welcome to our Biology class! Today, we're going to dive into one of the most fundamental units of life - the cell!
Before we start, let's take a virtual tour of a cell. Imagine yourself shrunk down, exploring the different components that make up a cell. Here's a short video to get us started:

Now that we have a better idea of what a cell looks like, let's explore the different parts and their functions in more detail.
First up, we have the nucleus - the control center of the cell. It contains the DNA and regulates all cellular activities.
The cytoplasm is a jelly-like substance that fills up the cell and helps support the different organelles.
The cell membrane acts as a barrier between the inside of the cell and its environment. It regulates what enters and exits the cell, and plays a key role in communication between cells.
Cells are not individual units, but work together in tissues, organs, and systems within our bodies. Let's take a closer look at how cells work together to support different functions.
Cells of similar types group together to form tissues, such as muscle tissue or nerve tissue.
Groups of tissues come together to form organs, such as the heart or lungs.
Different organs work together in systems, such as the respiratory system or the digestive system.
Now that we've explored the different parts of a cell and how they work together, let's put our knowledge to the test. Here's a worksheet for you to complete on the different parts of a cell.
