Congratulations on your purchase of this Really Good Stuff®
Build-A-Cell Poster and Magnets Set—an interactive, visual
way for students to learn the parts of both animal and
plant cells.

This Really Good Stuff® product includes:
• Build-A-Cell Poster (two-sided)
• Cell Part Magnets
• Cell Vocabulary Magnets
• Blank Vocabulary Magnets
• Storage Bags
• Storage Bag Labels
• This Really Good Stuff® Activity Guide
Assembling and Displaying the Build-A-Cell Poster and
Magnet Set
Before you display the Build-A-Cell Poster and Magnet Set,
make copies of this Really Good Stuff® Activity Guide and file
the pages for future use. Or, download another copy of it from
our Web site at www.reallygoodstuff.com. Use a permanent
marker to label the Storage Bag Labels with Plant Cell Parts,
Plant Cell Vocabulary, Animal Cell Parts, and Animal Cell
Vocabulary and attach them to the Storage Bags. Punch out
the Magnets and store them in the appropriate Bags. If you
have cell parts you want to teach that are illustrated on the
Poster (such as the nuclear membrane) but are not included in
the Vocabulary Magnets, write each of those terms on a Blank
Magnet and write the accompanying definition in the blank
spaces on a copy of the Plant Cell Definitions or Animal Cell
Definitions Reproducibles.
stage the Definition Magnets on the corresponding side of the
Poster or use the definition list that follows to share the
definitions with students.
Tell students that plant and animal cells have many similar
parts and functions and that you are going to show them
those parts, tell them their names, and share their definitions.
In any order:
1. Place one Cell Part Magnet at a time on the Poster, referring
to the Cell Diagram Reproducible for proper location.
2. Pointing to the part, say the name of the part aloud and
place the appropriate Cell Vocabulary Magnet. Or, if your
students have already been studying cell parts, you may
wish to have a student place the Cell Vocabulary Magnet
once you have placed a Cell Part Magnet.
3. Read the definition for that part and place the appropriate
Definition Magnet near the Cell Vocabulary Magnet.
4. Continue until you have placed all the Magnets on one or
both cells on the Poster.
5. Once you have introduced both types of cells, discuss the
similarities and differences between animal and plant cells.
Use small magnets to hang the Poster on a magnetic surface,
such as a whiteboard or the side of a filing cabinet. Store the
appropriate zippered plastic bag(s) of Magnets near the
Poster. Or, you may want to cut the Poster in half to display
the Build a Plant Cell separately from the Build an Animal Cell.
Review of Definitions of Cell Contents
Attach Posters with the cell parts facing out. Place the
corresponding Cell Vocabulary Magnets and the Definition
Magnets nearby. Challenge students to label the parts with
the appropriate names and definitions.
Introducing the Build-A-Cell Poster and Magnet Set
Hang the side of the Poster with just the blank cells on it on
your classroom whiteboard. Copy the Animal Cell Definitions
and Plant Cell Definitions Reproducibles, cut apart the
definitions, and mount them on magnetic tape to make
Definition Magnets. Arrange the Plant Cell Parts Magnets and
the Plant Cell Vocabulary Magnets along the left side of the
Poster and place the Animal Cell Parts Magnets and the
Animal Cell Vocabulary Magnets along the right side. Either

labeling it with the appropriate Cell Parts Magnets. Then have
students place the appropriate Definition Magnets next to the
Cell Parts Magnets.
Center Activities
After introducing the Build-A-Cell Poster and Magnet Set,
place the Poster and corresponding Magnets in a center for
students to complete the following activities.
• Matching Parts and Names
Hang the Build-A-Cell Poster on a magnet-receptive
surface with cell parts displayed facing out. Place the blue
Plant Cell Vocabulary Magnets in one zippered plastic bag
and the purple Animal Cell Vocabulary Magnets in another.
Store these bags in an envelope or folder labeled Matching
Cell Parts and Names along with an enlarged copy of the
completed Poster image from the first page of this guide.
Instruct students to place each Cell Vocabulary Magnet
next to the correct cell part, then use the Cell Diagrams
Reproducible to check their work.
• Build Your Own Cell
Hang the Build-A-Cell Poster on a magnet-receptive
surface with the blank cells facing out. Place the Plant Cell
Parts Magnets in one zippered plastic bag, the Animal Cell
Parts Magnets in a second bag, the blue Plant Cell
Vocabulary Magnets in a third, and the purple Animal Cell
Vocabulary Magnets in a fourth. Store these bags in an
envelope labeled Build Your Own Cell along with a copy of
the completed Poster image. Direct students to place the
Cell Parts Magnets on the Poster, stick the Cell Vocabulary
Magnets next to the appropriate cell parts, and use the
Cell Diagrams Reproducible to check their work.
• Definition Matching
Divide the Definition Magnets for animal cells from the
ones for plant cells and place each group in a zippered
plastic bag. Add these definition bags to either of the
center activities above to add one more level of
instruction to the activities. Tell students to place the
Definition Magnets on the Posters next to the appropriate
Cell Parts Magnets or Cell Vocabulary Magnets.
Build-A-Cell Terms and Definitions
Place two copies of the Terms and Definitions Reproducible
side by side on your copier and duplicate. Cut the sheets apart
and provide a copy to each student so that they can check
their work on the definition-matching activities.

Terms and Definitions Reproducible
Animal Cell Definitions
cell membrane: The thin semipermeable layer of protein
and fat that encloses the cytoplasm of a cell.
centriole: One of two organelles—located near the
nucleus—that plays a role in cell division.
cytoplasm: The jellylike material outside the cell nucleus
where the organelles are located.
endoplasmic reticulum: A network of tubular
membranes—within the cytoplasm—that functions in the
transport of materials throughout the cell.
Golgi body: A flattened, layered, and saclike organelle—
located near the nucleus—that produces the membranes
that surround the lysosomes.
lysosome: A saclike organelle containing enzymes that
digest particles within the cell and that help disintegrate
the cell after its death.
mitochondrion: A spherical- to rod-shaped organelle
that produces energy through cellular respiration.
