In this grade 8 Ontario French science unit on cells, students will learn about the properties of cells by studying unicellular and multicellular organisms, describing the roles of various organelles in animal and plant cells, and using the particle theory of matter to explain multiple chemical reactions, among other expectations. Furthermore, this workbook unit explores safety guidelines and information about scientific laboratory equipment, such as microscopes. This scientific resource aligns with the overall and specific expectations of the 8th-grade science curriculum in Ontario.

 

Many students do not enjoy reading textbooks because their content is often very dry and uninspiring. It loses the students' interest. By purchasing this educational resource, you will notice that this package is written differently. It is informal, filled with humour, and attempts to teach students on a personal level. Moreover, it encourages them to conduct independent scientific experiments at home. I wanted to write it as if I were conversing with your students. This unit is short (compared to textbook units), but it is packed with embedded links, QR codes, and a PowerPoint presentation. It contains everything you need to cover the specific and overall expectations of the Ontario science curriculum.

 

My 8th-grade science workbook on fluids is a quality tool for French teachers. This workbook covers competencies B1.1 and B1.2, which involve examining the various technologies that have enhanced our understanding of cells and cellular processes, as well as analyzing the health and environmental benefits and drawbacks of scientific advances in the field of cell and related emerging technologies, taking into account various perspectives.

 

The workbook also covers competencies B2.1 to B2.6, which include describing the nature of cells using the cell theory, identifying organelles and other cellular components and explaining their essential functions, comparing the structures and functions of plant and animal cells, explaining the processes of diffusion and osmosis inside the cell, describing unicellular and multicellular organisms and comparing how they meet their essential needs, and explaining the organization of cells into tissues, organs, and systems.

 

My workbook includes vocabulary sheets, printable student journals, readings and worksheets, answer keys, study questions, Google Forms quizzes, links, QR codes to YouTube videos, and a unit test. All these elements are designed to help teachers teach these skills interactively and engagingly while allowing students to work independently and check their understanding. This workbook is valuable for teachers looking to enhance their 8th-grade science teaching resources.

 

You have nothing else to do but print it. However, some scientific experiments may require some preparation. I have included chapter quizzes/assignments in both PDF and Google Forms formats. Use these tasks as consolidation assignments or discussion topics in your class! The content of this package is relevant and accurate. It will not hinder their understanding!

 

✬Chapter Information:

Chapter 1: Cells, What Are They?

Chapter 2: Animal and Plant Cells

Chapter 3: Cell Inputs and Outputs

Chapter 4: Unicellular Organisms

Chapter 5: Multicellular Organisms

Chapter 6: Organ Systems

Chapter 1 of my 8th-grade science workbook on fluids, titled "Cells, What Are They?" aims to provide a general introduction to cells and cell theory. Students will learn what a cell is, how it is structured, and how it functions. They will also discover the different parts of the cell, such as the cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria, vacuole, chloroplast, and cell wall, and learn their essential functions.

Chapter 2, titled "Animal and Plant Cells," compares the structures and functions of animal and plant cells. Students will learn the differences and similarities between these two types of cells and understand how their structures and functions distinguish them.

Chapter 3, titled "Cell Inputs and Outputs," deals with the processes of diffusion and osmosis inside the cell. Students will learn how substances pass through the cell membrane and how water and other substances are transported into and out of the cell.

Chapter 4, titled "Unicellular Organisms," describes unicellular organisms and explains how they meet their essential needs. Students will learn about different types of unicellular organisms and understand how they survive and reproduce.

Chapter 5, titled "Multicellular Organisms," describes multicellular organisms and explains how they meet their essential needs. Students will learn about different types of multicellular organisms and understand how they are organized into tissues, organs, and systems.

Chapter 6, titled "Organ Systems," explains how cells, tissues, organs, and systems are organized in multicellular organisms and how they work together to fulfill their functions. Students will learn about different organ systems and understand how they are interconnected and interact to maintain the organism's health.
