Cell-ebration

[Michael Thorpe]

I am an Instructional Technology Specialist in a middle school.  We are
currently working on a 7th grade Life Science project entitled
"CELL-EBRATION".  I am assembling an Internet Presentation for the students
that will include visits to various sites on the Net (these sites will be
related to living cells and cell biology).  But also I thought it would be
interesting for the students to have a live chat session with a biologist or
two.  Basically the students would be responsible for coming up with
questions to ask the Biologist and on the day of cellebration I would co
into the classroom and setup all the technical equipment then after I gave
them a short Internet Tour we could attach with our Biologist and start
asking questions.
OTHER FACTS ABOUT CELL-EBRATION:
1.  Leading up to this day the students study animal and plant cells, cell
structure, cell processes , and cell functions.
2.  On the day of cell-ebration each student comes to school dressed as
their favorite cell part, cell process, or cell function
3.  The day before cell-ebration the students dress up their classrooms to
look like animal cells are plant cells.
4.  On the day of cell-ebration the students do  activities related to cells
in all their classes.  IT IS IN THEIR SCIEENCE CLASS ON THIS DAY THAT I
WOULD LIKE TO DO  THE INTERNET TOUR AND CHAT SESSION.

Thank You
