CELL-EBRATING CELLS

Explore the structure and function of cell organelles in a fun puzzle activity and learn how cells work together and cooperate to make multicellular organisms.

Next, they will investigate the size and scale of the microscopic world using our giant rulers.

This will be followed by a lab activity that investigates the story of the first human cells to ever be grown in a laboratory. These cells are known as HeLa cells. Students will gain an understanding of the history of HeLa cells and then go on to stain HeLa cells. Under a microscope, they will examine the differences between these cancerous cells and healthy human cells.

This booklet contains information about bus parking, payment and pricing, cancellations, evacuation maps, and more.
