Short answer
Plants and animals are made up of cells. The cells shown have a membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus. The membrane separates the internal environment of the cell and is involved in the exchange of substances. The nucleus contains the bulk of her hereditary information.

A typical photosynthetic leaf cell contains chloroplasts, a cell wall, and a large central vacuole. A typical animal cell does not have a cell wall or chloroplasts.
See it for yourself
Compare plant and animal cells and spot the differences.
Open experiment ↗Try it on a model
Switch two cell types. Find the nucleus in both diagrams, then look at the leaf cell membrane.
Compare the commonalities and differences
What is simplified in the model
Simplified diagrams of a typical leaf cell and animal cell. Not all organelles are shown; shapes and sizes are arbitrary. Not all plant cells contain chloroplasts.

Before experience
Ask: “What do you think will happen?” Let the child check his guess first.
After the experience
What has changed? What remains the same? Where can you notice a similar phenomenon?
