Today, we took an interactive trip into an animal cell (via iCell) and took a closer look at the mitochondria of the cell. We learned back when we first started working with cells that the mitochondria are known as the "powerhouses" of the cell. Today, we were able to connect that analogy with the fact that mitochondria are essential to respiration.
We also took the time to compare and contrast respiration and photosynthesis. The students used their Venn Diagram's from Monday night and helped me make a Double Bubble as seen below....
Tomorrow, I look forward to seeing the creative drawings and writing pieces that students put together to demonstrate the relationship between photosynthesis and respiration!
