Original Prompt

create a lesson on the function of cells

This lesson introduces the concept of cells as the fundamental building blocks of all living organisms. It outlines the primary goals for learners, including identifying the main parts of a cell and understanding their functions. The lesson uses a factory analogy to explain cell components, labelling different organelles and their jobs, such as the nucleus acting as the control center and the cell membrane serving as the protective barrier. Furthermore, the lesson compares plant and animal cells, highlighting key structural differences like the presence of a cell wall and chloroplasts in plant cells versus centrioles in animal cells. Activities include matching organelles to their functions, drawing comparisons between plant and animal cells, and engaging with questions to reinforce understanding of cell functions and gas exchange processes.
