Today, Atticus and I discussed what different cells can do. We discussed how form follows function, and this can be seen in how a cell's shape and structure is a result of its function. In his workbook, he observed illustrations of three different cells, and inferred their functions based on their shapes. He recorded his answers in his workbook. The three different cells he observed were red blood cells, xylem cells, and neurons. We then read a short passage about the unicellular organism, Vorticella, and learned how its structures and shape are determined by the structures' functions. Atticus then chose another unicellular organism to research, and began creating a presentation that details how the organism's form follows its function.
