What educators are saying
This resource was a lifesaver. Our school curriculum covered all the bases but wasn't as near as engaging and I felt like my kids were losing interest, so I bought this to re-engage them and it worked great.
While we didn't build the whole class model, my students loved building their own and learning about each organelle.
Description
A multiple day lesson to introduce cell organelles and their functions. Students learn 11 organelles of a plant cell while they build a large cell model out of construction paper.
INCLUDED IN THIS PACK:
- Student notes sheet with picture, function, and analogy for all 11 organelles. The notes sheet is offered in two sizes: one to fit composition notebooks and a normal, 8 1/2x 11 sheet.
- PowerPoint with pictures, functions, analogies, and instructions for building for all 11 organelles. (POWERPOINT IS NOT EDITABLE)
- Detailed instructions for implementation
- Detailed instructions for teacher set up
- Outlined day-by-day for the multi-day lesson
- Instructions to make a giant plant cell on the white board
11 ORGANELLES INCLUDED:
Cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi bodies, vacuole, mitochondria, lysosome, chloroplast, ribosome.

NGSSMS-LS1-2
Develop and use a model to describe the function of a cell as a whole and ways the parts of cells contribute to the function. Emphasis is on the cell functioning as a whole system and the primary role of identified parts of the cell, specifically the nucleus, chloroplasts, mitochondria, cell membrane, and cell wall. Assessment of organelle structure/function relationships is limited to the cell wall and cell membrane. Assessment of the function of the other organelles is limited to their relationship to the whole cell. Assessment does not include the biochemical function of cells or cell parts.
