Science Nspired - Life Science - Cells and Heredity by Texas Instruments

A cell is the smallest unit capable of performing life's functions. Different cell types can have different structures inside of them, but many cell structures are common to all cells. In this unit, students will learn how organisms can grow and repair cells through cell division and also explore heredity, the passing of trait from parent to offspring.
