These last two weeks, we have continued to learn about the amazing microscopic world of cells.
After getting a grasp of the membrane that protects the cell, this week, we moved on to the other organelles that make up animal and plant cells. I started off assigning each student an organelle as they came into class and this was what they became an expert on throughout the class. They found their organelle on a cell diagram, read about its function, and then added it to our diagrams.
They did a great job coming up with comparisons and presenting their organelle and its function to the group so we could all learn about how cells function. They each created a flipbook of the parts of a cell as we went through the presentations, and they went home with a couple different worksheets to also help them remember the organelles they learned about today. Videos: Amoeba Sisters: Introduction to Cells (This is the one we watched in class). Aumsum: Animal Cell Travel Deep Inside a Leaf (This is a great animation, and includes annotations to how they created the animation, which I know might be interesting to some of the movie-making kids in this class.) Cell City Activities: Plant and Animal Cell Printable Diagrams This is a link to the pages that I sent home as homework. There are other activities you can print out as well (or if you misplaced the ones sent home.) These will help the students become more familiar with the different organelles so they will be ready to build our edible cells at our next class. Cell City Worksheet See if your student remembers which organelles these city structures represent. Parts of the Cell Interactive flashcards where the students can test their memory.
