Science in 5e – Looking at animal and plant cells

On Tuesday, the 5eme class had a lesson on the two main types of cells: Animal and Plant. In order to explore this further, they created their own slides with animal and plant cells using an onion and cotton buds (to swap inside their cheeks for animal cells) and examined them under the microscopes. They even experimented with using different dyes to find out which one works better for which type of cell!
