National Science Education Standards
This activity addresses the following National Science Education Standards:

Life Science: The Cell (Grades 9-12)
Cells have particular structures that underlie their functions. Every cell is surrounded by a membrane that separates it from the outside world. Inside the cell is a concentrated mixture of thousands of different molecules which form a variety of specialized structures that carry out such cell functions as energy production, transport, of molecules, waste disposal, synthesis of new molecules, and the storage of genetic material.

Life Science: Structure and Function in Living Systems (Grades 5-8)
All organisms are composed of cells--the fundamental unit of life. Most organisms are single cells; other organisms, including humans, are multicellular.
