"Me & My Cells : An
Introductory Look at Plant &
Animal Cells":
A Cell is like . . .:
Description
This lesson is intended to make students more knowledgeable about plant and animals, their functions and relevance
in our everyday lives. Additionally, a tactile exploratory exercise is presented to reinforce knowledge acquisition.
This lesson gives students an overall concept on how to compare and contrast organelles by through an analogy
using the parts of the human body.
A Cell-A-Bration of Life:
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

Cell Parts and Functions:
This resource provides students with a web based interactive animal cell and plant cell which they use to learn about
the different parts of each cell. Students will summarize information 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, Golgi apparatus, ribosomes, vacuole, lysosome,) etc.,
State the function of each organelle
Identify each structure on a visual cell diagram
relate each part to a functioning object in the real world
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.
Cell Play:
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...
Cell Safari: A Tour of Animal
and Plant Cells:
Students will compare animal and plant cells in four different stations with hands-on activities, technology applications,
and accountable conversations.
Cells 1: Make a Model Cell :
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.
page 2 of 4 Comparing and Contrasting
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.
Edible Cell Analysis:
Organelles to Scale:
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
Taking a Look Inside of Cells: cell. They then individually create a plant or animal cell model which communicates their knowledge of the structure
and function of each organelle.
The Cell as a System:
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 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).
Understanding Cell
Membranes through Model
Evaluation:
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)."
