cells.
• All living things are made of building blocks called CELLS.
• Humans, plants, animals, and bacteria are made up of one or many cells.
• Where do you think cells are located in our body? – EVERYWHERE!!!– Humans are made up of cells that work together
and build muscle, bones, skin, and other organs.
Teaching Message 2: Cells are incredibly small – so small that
microscopes are needed to magnify them so that we can see them.
