Plants are multicellular organisms, so like animals they contain millions of cells, but how exactly are these cells organised and how are they different to each other?
This activity lets students look at how cells are specialised to perform different functions within the plant and tissues are made of groups of similar cells all working together on the same functions.
This resource forms one part of a topic on ‘Cell Explorer’. You can find videos and interactive resources for this topic on the GSK STEM Education website, here, and find the other three resources at these links:
- Lab Activity 1: Examining Cheek Cells
- Lab Activity 2: Examining Plant Cells
- Independent Learning 1: How are Cells Organised in the Body?
