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.
The Agriscience/Intro to Agriculture course helps students acquire a broad understanding of a variety of agricultural areas, develop an awareness of the many career opportunities in agriculture, participate in occupationally relevant experiences, and work cooperatively with a group to develop and expand leadership abilities. Students study California agriculture, agricultural business, agricultural technologies, natural resources, and animal, plant, and soil sciences.
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.
Learn the names of the organelles. Students must correctly label all the organelles.
CK-12 Biology Workbook complements its CK-12 Biology book.
Cell organelles are often studied in isolation or as a part of a big picture lesson on cells. This activity combines knowledge of cell organelle functions with changes that can occur in DNA that causes these organelles to not work as they should. This assignment would best fit in after students have learned about cell organelles and are studying genetics and mutations. The task requires them to write the story of a sad cell: a cell whose DNA has had mutations occur that cause it to have organelles that no longer work correctly. This lesson was developed by NCDPI as part of the Academically and/or Intellectually Gifted Instructional Resources Project. This lesson plan has been vetted at the state level for standards alignment, AIG focus, and content accuracy.
Students will become familiar with a cell by clicking on different cell organelles and reading about their structure and function. Please note flash must be enabled on your browers to use this resource.
This brief video lesson discusses cell membranes and how they work. Discussion/assessment questions and suggested supplemental resources are also included.
Students play a quick and easy game to review the organelles inside both plant and animal cells. Students will use definitions to identify the appropriate cell structure and its role inside the cell. They will also identify if these structures are present in both plant and animal cells.
Students identify the main organelles involved in carrying out cellular and physiological processes. They will also select the organelle that they think is the most important for that process and provide a reason for their selection.

Students review and compare plant and animal cells, and then build a model of an animal cell.
This resource packet is meant to be used with the Cells Alive website (referenced on the worksheet).
This short video lesson examines the parts of a cell and how they work together to defend against invaders such as the cold virus. Assessment and discussion questions, as well as links to additional resources, are included.
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 online tutorial covers selective permeability of membranes, diffusion, and facilitated diffusion.
This interactive resource reviews the major organelles of the eukaryotic cell and examines structure and function.
This task could be used as part of photosynthesis instruction or as an assignment before photosynthesis is taught. This lesson was developed by NCDPI as part of the Academically and/or Intellectually Gifted Instructional Resources Project. This lesson plan has been vetted at the state level for standards alignment, AIG focus, and content accuracy.
This is a unit learning plan for Bio 1.1.1, 1.1.2, part of 1.1.3 and 1.2.3 including learning targets, linked lesson plans, and resources. The unit's essential question is how does form influence function in cells?
Cell organelles are an important part of our high school cell unit. This assignment allows students the opportunity to learn more details about a specific cell organelle or structure, create a 3D model and commercial to share with the class as a means to teach the class about their structure.
