Cells

Identify and describe the structure and function of plant and animal cells; use microscopes; understand specialised cells

What you'll learn

  1. 1

    Your body is made of tiny building blocks called cells. They're so small you need a microscope to see them! 🔬

  2. 2

    What do we call the tiny building blocks that make up your body?

  3. 3

  4. 4

  5. 5

    Which part of the cell is like the brain? 🧠

  7. 7

    What does the cell membrane do?
