Students worked as architects to make blueprints of homes. The different rooms in the house were compared to different organelles in cells. Students worked in groups to decide which rooms represented which organelles and why.

In science class, we are learning about cell parts. We compared and contrasted plant parts, animal parts, and cell parts (organelles). Students got into groups to put different descriptions of different parts into the three categories. We then discussed it as a whole class and talked about the different organelles that plant cells have that animal cells don't as well as which organelles both types of cells have in common.
Students worked in groups to find organelle signs in our school. Each sign was placed strategically at places that related to each specific organelle. For example, the nucleus was at the principal's office.
Students took cheek cell samples from themselves and learned how to make wet mount slides to view under the microscopes. We also looked under the microscopes at cardiac muscle samples, leaf samples, and sand crystals. We discussed which things are made of cells, and therefore living/once living, and which are not made of cells, and therefore non-living.
