Explain 

A cell is the structural, functional and biological unit of an organism. Cells are the basic building blocks of our muscles, bones and other organs. All

living things are made of cells. The human body is composed of trillions of cells. They are very small so

we cannot see them with our eyes.

Review

What have you learned about cells? Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things. There are two main types of cells: prokaryotic and eukaryotic. Cells have several structures that perform specific functions, and perform a variety of functions that are important for the survival of an organism.

Review the key concepts and information covered in the lesson.

Evaluate 

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
