5th Grade Cell Comparison Lesson Plan

This lesson plan teaches 5th grade students about plant and animal cells through a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation. Students will create a T-chart to record what they know about each cell type. The teacher will then present a PowerPoint comparing and contrasting plant and animal cells. Students will be divided into groups to create their own PowerPoint on either plant or animal cells. Rubrics and guidelines will be provided. The lesson promotes collaboration as students work together to research and design their presentations.

Lesson Idea Name: Cells


Content Area: Science
Grade Level(s): 5th Grade
Content Standard Addressed: S5L3. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to compare and contrast
the parts of plant and animal cells.

Technology Standard Addressed: Standard 2: Technology Integration

Selected Technology Tool: Microsoft PowerPoint

URL(s) to support the lesson (if applicable):

Bloom’s Taxonomy Level(s):


☐ Remembering ☐ Understanding ☒ Applying ☐ Analyzing ☐ Evaluating ☐ Creating

Levels of Technology Integration (LoTi Level):


☐ Level 1: Awareness ☐ Level 2: Exploration ☒ Level 3: Infusion ☐ Level 4: Integration
☐ Level 5: Expansion ☐ Level 6: Refinement

Universal Design for Learning (UDL): Present content and information in multiple media and support
student’s voice
Lesson idea implementation:
Students will be asked what they know or remember about cells and how they function. Their responses
will be recorded on T chart which will have Plant Cells on one side and Animal Cells on the other. Students will
then watch my PowerPoint presentation of Cells which compares and contrast the two with my audio
recording. After the video, additional information gained from the PowerPoint will be added to the T chart.
Students will be assigned to groups of 3 or 4 and given the task to recreate their own PowerPoint
presentations on either the Plant cell or Animal cell. Rubrics, criteria and “how to” sheets will be given to each
group as they begin collaborating, researching, and creating their group PowerPoints. Rubrics will show
students the highest a lowest grade possible in each category (example: Voice recording matches the words
on the slides. Voice is clear and understandable). The criteria sheet will provide information on what I’m
looking for in each groups presentations (example: introduction slide, 4 slides containing information, parts of
the cell that are required to be defined, a reference slide). The “how to” will be an over arching review of how
to use certain tools within PowerPoint that students might not have used before (example: how to record
your voice. How to create a movie. How to change slide themes. How to add transitions between slides).

Reflective Practice:
I think my lesson idea will promotes collaboration through students delegating jobs and task to one another.
Everyone should have an opportunity to create at least one slide, research that part of the cell and its
function, and possibly do the voice recording for that slide. PowerPoints are single presentations that should
flow, show connection, and be creative. To further this lesson, I would invite students to upload their
PowerPoint presentations to a blog where individual group members will be required to respond to other
groups. Parents will have access to the blog and be able to see their student’s performance. PowerPoint
presentations can also be printed out, cut, and laminated as e-books for the class library.
