Life Science Part 1

www.ScienceLearningSpace.com

Appropriate for Grades:
Grades K-8 (see notes on each lesson)
Duration: 3-25 hours, depending on how many activities you do!

In this unit, you will learn about cells, which are the tiny things that
everything is made of. We'll start off by talking about the scientists who first
observed and described cells. We'll learn about things even smaller than
cells that are inside of them, and what they do to help cells survive and do
their jobs. We'll also talk about how things get in and out of cells.

All of this is important because cells make up all living things. In order to
understand how living things like animals, plants, and bacteria live and
grow, we must understand cells. In this unit we will also cover the basics of
genetics. We will begin with the beginning of genetics as a science

(Mendelian genetics) and continue through to modern genetics.
