Tip for parents and teachers
Peel a thin skin from an onion scale leaf, put it on a slide with a drop of water and look under a microscope. The neat brick-like boxes you see are plant cells with their cell walls.
How to use this diagram to label
Ask your student to label the blank diagram from memory first, then check with the answer page. Labelling twice in a week makes it stick.
Printing tip: choose A4 and “fit to page” in your print settings. Black-and-white printing works fine — the drawings are simple outlines that are light on ink. You are welcome to print as many copies as you need for your own children or your class; please share the link to this page rather than the file.
