Cell song by Ranya and Hana

I was working in the lab late one night when my eyes caught on to the wondrous sight. I couldn't quite tell just what it was but it sure did ring a bell. It was a cell, it was a plant cell. You'll have a blast, learning about chloroplast, it is fun with mitochondria. You'll throw a fuss, at the nucleus. Chloroplast makes a plant cell green, mitochondria creates energy to make you scream, Ribosomes create the protein. Cell wall shapes the cell. I have so much more to tell! Cytoplasm, hold parts in the cell. Vacuoles, store food and waste golgi body, transport materials, the E.R. transport material to the cell, the cell membrane selects what enters the cell, nucleus, contains information, and now were done. Plant cells! Thanks for watching son!

Old McDonald owned a cell

Eei eei yo

And in the cell there are ribosomes

Eei eei yo

The ribosomes make protein

The protein then makes life
