9th grade science class project. We are leaning towards 32-60 page books that have great pictures and diagrams showing the different kinds of cells, with short but detailed information. We do not want textbook type tomes. I have tried Google books, publisher sites and Amazon to see inside the following books and either there is no view inside the book available or if it is available the page selection is not helpful. The assignment is to learn about the cell, its parts and function, and then send the cell on an adventure. So, we just need books that show good diagrams of the different kinds of cells with good labels and descriptions of the cell's function. My research has found: Exploring Science: Life Science - Animal Cells: Smallest Units of Life by Darlene R. Stille Exploring Science: Life Science - Plant Cells: Building Blocks of Plants by Darlene R. Stille Microquests - Mighty Animal Cells by Rebecca L. Johnson Microquests - Powerful Plant Cells by Rebecca L. Johnson Microquests - Ultra-organized Cell Systems by Rebecca L. Johnson Gareth Stevens Vital Science: Life Science - Cells by Darlene R. Stille Life Science In-Depth - Cells and Cell Function by Sally Morgan Life Processes - Cells and Life systems by Holly Wallace Cells & Life - World of the Cell: Life on a Small Scale by Robert Snedden Library of Cells - Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic Cell Structures: Understanding Cells with and without a Nucleus by Lesli J Favor Human Body: How It works - Cells, Tissues and Skin by Douglas B. Light Science Essentials: Biology - Cells and Life Processes by Denise Walker My question to you that have continued reading this far, with the above assignment in mind, do you recommend any of the above titles, or have some "better" titles in your collection that would meet our needs? We do have some websites already gathered for the teachers to share during the presentation of the project, but generally this is a classroom activity using books so the students concentrate more on finding the function of the cells and then creating the adventure. I look forward to your input. Jean R.
