They’re called the building blocks of life and students at South Habersham Middle School are learning all about them.

Cells.

Students in Mrs. BJ Sutton’s 7th grade science class observed all sorts of cells under a microscope – blood cells, human cheek cells, shrimp egg cells, plant cells and bacteria.

Students are currently working on a cell unit.  This activity helped to bring what they are studying to life.
