Download What is the cell membrane?

 1. Form groups.
 2. Take out your white boards (take turns with the
marker).
 3. I will read a clue statement about the organelle.
 4. You have 1 minute to try to come up with the answer
and write it on the white board using “What” questions.
 What is…(singular)?: What is the cell membrane?
 What are…(plural)?: What are the Golgi bodies?
 5. When I say “display,” show your white board.
 6. I will call on a group who got it correct to come and
point to the organelle in the diagram.
 7. We will do the first one as an example.
