Cell Cookies (date to be determined)
The teacher will assist students in organizing and assembling the supplies necessary. This activity requires student
donations. The teacher will be responsible for bringing in the cookies; however students will need to bring in
candy, frosting, sprinkles… to represent different cell organelles.
1. Students will obtain a cookie and the supplies brought in by the students to represent each of the cells
organelles.
2. Students will assemble their cookie while identifying the cell structure AND its function.
3. Students will work with a partner or small group and practice the structures and functions. At least one other
student will check-off the student for accuracy in identifying the cell structure and its function.
4. PRIOR TO EATING ANY PART of the cookie, each student will individually check-off with the teacher by
identifying each cell organelle and its function. Failure to comply will result in a loss of points.
Intro A & P: Dough-boy labeling
Create a Diagram according to the following:
1. Obtain one legal size sheet of paper.
2. Draw an outline diagram of a human. You may use the front and back to identify the anterior and
posterior surface. (See Example- hanging on the whiteboard)
3. Use crayons, colored pencils, and markers to help color code your diagram.
4. Label the anterior & posterior diagrams with body directional terms. Be creative and be sure to include:
anterior, posterior, cranial, caudal, proximal, distal, superior, inferior, medial, lateral, ventral, dorsal,
transverse, coronal, sagittal, frontal, midsagittal,
5. Label the body cavities: cranial, spinal, orbital, nasal, buccal, thoracic, abdominal, pelvic& retroperitoneal.
6. Label the diaphragm.
7. Divide the diagram into anatomically correct quadrants (RUQ, RLQ, LUQ, & LLQ on the anterior)and
identify what organs you will find in each.
8. Give your diagram a name (human characteristic) & turn it in.
