Students in Mrs. Bell's Biology class at Pineville High School in Alexandria, LA, recently delved into the study of animal and plant cells, as well as other essential elements of the human body.

During the lesson, students focused on understanding the functions of organelles, the role of proteins in the body, and the location of ribosomes within cells. They utilized a micro-slide viewer to observe cell structures, plant cells, and human body cells.

To reinforce their learning, students reviewed the material with Mrs. Bell and geared up for an upcoming test on cell theory and organelles. This collaborative and hands-on approach aims to enhance students' understanding of biology concepts.
