• Cells of a tomato – both the pulp and skin
• Cells of a potato
• Human cheek cells
• A summary of the functions of selected parts of animal and plant cells

This lab is very flexible as it will work for any level student from English Learner - EL - to more advanced students. This product includes the Variation in Cell Structure Lab, answer key, general guidelines/materials list, and some sample pictures of the cells to project for your class.
