presented to reinforce knowledge acquisition.
This lesson gives students an overall concept on how to

the parts of the human body.
Students will look at cells of plants and animals and identify the

organelles.
In this lesson, students will create a story as if they are a cell
organelle going through its day. In this activity, they will show
A Day in the Life as Oscar the
how they interact with their own organelle family or other

organelles in a cell. In this two day lesson, students will create a
labeled model of a plant and animal cell and write a story.
This resource provides students with a web based interactive
animal cell and plant cell which they use to learn about the
Animal Cells And Plant Cells: different parts of each cell. Students will summarize information
Just How Different Are We? about the structure and function about the organelles required
for this standard which are: cell wall, cell membrane,
cytoplasm, nucleus, chloroplast, vacuole and mitochondria.
In this activity students will:
Identify various organelles of the animal cell (nucleus, ER,

State the function of each organelle

This lesson introduces students to the structure and functions of
organelles by asking students to find information for an

organelle/cell structure, then teach that information to peers.
Students then use this knowledge to create a series of analogies
likening a cell to a factory.
Students will demonstrate their understanding of the parts and
functions of a cell by creating a game. The game can take any

form: written, oral etc... Some examples would be cell jeopardy,
cell hang man, cell trivia etc...
Students will compare animal and plant cells in four different

This lesson is the first of two-part series on cells. In Cells 1:
Make a Model Cell, students will compare a plant and animal
cell, and then make a model of a cell. They will select items to
represent various cell structures and justify their choices by
describing how the items they have chosen represent the actual

parts of a cell. Prior to this lesson, students should have at least
been introduced to cells, including the basic differences between
plant and animal cells.
In this lesson, students will use their prior knowledge of
organelle structure and function to compare and contrast plant
and animal cells. This lesson includes teacher-facilitated
discussion, using a PowerPoint and paper-and-pencil strategies.
In this lesson, students compare and contrast the major
structures found in plant and animal cells. The will develop
drawings and look at prepared slides to get a better
understanding of the organelles and function of these cells.
Then, students then construct edible models of plant or animal
cells, justifying their use of materials to represent various cell
components. Student directions and rubric are provided. They
will then present these ideas to the class or small groups.
Finally, they will take a Quiz (final assessment) to determine if
they have mastered this benchmark.
Generally, this is a four day plan (60 minute periods). Day 1 Is a good day to grab the students attention with a bell ringer
about the importance of cells, introduce the organelles and their
functions, and complete the microscope lab. Day 2 - Students
may construct their drawings and explore the animated cell
activity. Day 3 - (Usually a Monday, so students have time over
the weekend to gather their materials and make their edible
cells) edible cells and their presentations are due. Day 4 - Quiz.
In this lesson, students will analyze an informational text that
addresses organelles in terms of their size, characteristics, and
functions. This article, designed to support reading in the
content area, "shrinks" the student to put the size of certain
organelles in perspective with familiar objects/places. It also

describes the characteristics and functions of the nucleus,
certain membranes, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, Golgi
apparatus, and the mitochondria. This lesson plan includes a
note-taking guide, text-dependent questions, a writing prompt,
answer keys, and a writing rubric. Numerous options to extend
the lesson are also included.
After researching cell organelles, students collaboratively
compare and contrast the structures in a plant and an animal

which communicates their knowledge of the structure and
function of each organelle.
This is a complete lesson plan designed to deepen student

understanding of the major organelles of animal cells and the
way in which cells function as individual systems. The lesson
Understanding Cell
Membranes through Model
Evaluation
plan develops the analogy of cells as factories in order to
achieve this understanding. Detailed supplemental student
reading materials are included in this lesson plan as is a
worksheet for students to complete (an answer key is also
included).
In this lesson, students consider two models of the cell
membrane, evaluating them for accuracy in light of textprovided information.

The Cell and its Organelles
Description
This cell crossword puzzle uses vocabulary from CELLS alive!
If you have trouble, use the "Search this Site" engine in the
lefthand menu.
This site includes a tutorial and follow-up interactive review
game on the structures of each of three cell types: animal, plant,
and bacterial.
"The Cell and its Organelles educational game is based on the
1974 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, which was
awarded for discoveries concerning the structure and
organization of the vital components of a cell. The game
revolves around the ultracentrifuge -- a piece of laboratory
equipment that separates organelles in a cell by virtue of their
size, shape and density. By sheer bad fortune, Professor
Megacell happens to fall into an ultracentifuge, which results in
some of his organelles being shot out and he himself ending up
hanging from a rotating fan on the ceiling. Your mission is to
return his organelles to their correct position by firing different
organelles at him using a slingshot. Each time you must read the
hints to figure out the correct organelle to shoot. For example, if
you see the hint "He looks like he has lost all his energy", you
should shoot the mitochondria (the power plant of the cell that
provides the energy to drive chemical reactions in the cell)."
