Cells and organisation in Year 7 Science
Start here
Focus on animal and plant cells under a microscope. Start with “Describe How Organisms Grow”, then explain the idea in your own words.
Year 7 learners practise animal and plant cells under a microscope.
The activities include Describe How Organisms Grow, Describe what Living Things are Made of, Explore How Cells, Tissues and Organs Work Together, and related practice. The checked support below includes practice, lesson, video, teaching. Open a resource in its provider's website and choose the format that best helps the learner explain the idea independently.
Activities covered
- Describe How Organisms Grow
- Describe what Living Things are Made of
- Explore How Cells, Tissues and Organs Work Together
- Identify the Different Processes that Indicate a Living Organism
