Last, make a muscle and draw it, then put a hand on your chest and count your heartbeats while a grown-up watches the clock for 15 seconds: once sitting still, and again after moving about: hopping, dancing, waving your arms, or any way you like to move. Everyone's heart and muscles are different: there's no right number.

The Itty-Bitty Club
Name: ______________________
For the grown-up: Read the words in the box together, then write each part's name by its number (or say them, and you write). Next, join each part to its job: the nucleus is the command centre, a mitochondrion the powerhouse, a ribosome the builder, the Golgi the post office, the membrane the gatekeeper and a lysosome the recycler. Last, tick which cell has a cell wall, chloroplasts and a big vacuole (only the leaf cell does), then draw a cell of your own, with any parts you like.
