Identify cell organelles, explain how the structure of an organelle determines its function, and summarize how organelles work together to carry out the functions of the cell.

In this activity, students will work in collaborative groups to create 9M x 9M models of plant and animal cells. Class population can be split into 2 or 4 groups, with half the students constructing animal cells and the other half constructing plant cells. Students must organize and assign duties, provide materials for this activity, and write a written report. They will also give "Cell Tours" to other students and/or classroom guests.

This resource describes the four parts all cells have in common. It includes diagrams, a video, practice questions, a study guide, flash cards, interactive assessments, and articles on real world applications.

This is an interactive resource that allows students to practice labeling both plant and animal cells with immediate feedback. Please note you will need to enable flash on your browser to use this game

In this activity, students construct a model of a plant or animal cell using edible materials.
