🔤 Grammar
1. Verb tenses: The transcript uses a variety of verb tenses, including present simple, present continuous, and past simple. These tenses are used to describe processes and actions that occur regularly, continuously, or in the past.
2. Passive voice: The transcript also uses the passive voice to describe processes and actions, such as "the messenger RNA is read" and "amino acids are added."
3. Noun phrases: The transcript includes several noun phrases, such as "a structure called a nucleus" and "long strand of DNA tightly packaged around proteins." These phrases help to provide more detail and specificity in the description.
4. Prepositions: The use of prepositions is important in understanding the relationships between different parts of the cell, such as "in the nucleus," "out of the nucleus," and "in the cytoplasm."
5. Complex sentence structures: The transcript uses complex sentences to explain the processes of transcription and protein synthesis, with multiple clauses and phrases connected by conjunctions.

🎯 Activity
"Build Your Own Cell"
In this activity, students will work in pairs to create a model of a cell using various materials. They will then present their model to the class and explain the different parts of the cell and their functions. This activity will allow students to apply their knowledge of cell structures and functions in a hands-on and creative way.
Materials:
- Cardboard or foam balls (representing the cell)
- Play-Doh or clay (representing the cytoplasm)
- Different colored beads or beans (representing the chromosomes)
- Pipe cleaners or yarn (representing the DNA)
- Toothpicks (representing the ribosomes)
- Small pieces of paper (representing the messenger RNA)
Instructions:
1. Divide the class into pairs and provide each pair with the necessary materials.
2. Ask students to work together to create a model of a cell using the materials provided. They can use their notes from the lesson to guide them.
3. Encourage students to be creative and add their own details to the model, such as labeling different parts or adding other structures.
4. Once the models are complete, have each pair present their model to the class, explaining the different parts and their functions.
5. As a class, discuss the different models and how they represent the concepts learned in the lesson.
