5th Grade and the Week of Cells

This week the 5th grade has been investigating the discovery, structure, and function of cells. We were introduced to the early scientists that were influential to our current knowledge of microscopes and microscopic life. These scientists include, Robert Hooke, Anton van Leeuwenhoek, Matthias Schleiden, and Theodor Schwann. Coming up next week we will be looking at actual plant and animal cells under the microscope and learning about the importance of the structures within the cells and how they function. If you find any cool information out about cells this weekend please let us all know where we can find the information too. Great job this week. Have a great weekend!!!!!!
