Exploring Cell Structure: A DIY Activity Kit for High School Teachers & Homeschooling Parents
Introduction:
Welcome to an exciting DIY activity kit designed to explore the amazing world of cell organelles! This hands-on experience is perfect for high school teachers and homeschooling parents who want to engage students in a fun and interactive way while teaching the concept of cell structure and function.
Activity 1: Creating Common Cell Organelles
Materials Required:
- Eva foam sheets, double-sided tape, markers or stickers for labeling organelles
Procedure:
- Let’s begin by making cell organelles that are common to both plant and animal cells.
- Using Eva foam sheets as a base pad, we’ll carefully position and stick organelles such as the cell membrane, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum (smooth and rough), Golgi apparatus, and mitochondria.
- By arranging them in their respective locations, shapes, structures, and materials, we’ll create both an animal cell and a plant cell side by side on the same base pad.
- This allows us to compare and contrast the organelles, highlighting their similarities and differences.
Activity 2: Crafting Animal Cell Organelles
Materials Required:
- Eva foam sheets, double-sided tape, markers or stickers for labeling organelles
Procedure:
- In this activity, we’ll focus on the organelles specific to animal cells.
- Using the sameprocess as Activity 1, we’ll create organelles like lysosomes and centrioles.
- These unique structures play important roles in animal cell functions.
- By incorporating them into our foam sheet base pad alongside the common organelles, students will visually observe the distinctions between animal and plant cells.
Activity 3: Building Plant Cell Organelles
Materials Required:
- Eva foam sheets, double-sided tape, markers or stickers for labeling organelles
Procedure:
- Now let’s explore the organelles specific to plant cells.
- Following the same technique as before, we’ll craft organelles such as chloroplasts, vacuoles, and cell walls.
- These organelles are responsible for essential functions like photosynthesis, storage, and structural support in plant cells.
- By adding them to our foam sheet base pad alongside the other organelles, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the unique characteristics of plant cells.
Activity 4: Cellinos Game - Discovering Organelle Functions
Materials Required:
- Game board or printable game sheets, game pieces or tokens, challenge cards or puzzles
Procedure:
- To deepen our understanding of cell organelle functions, let’s play the exciting “Cellinos” game.
- This interactive game allows players to explore and learn about the different functions of specific cell organelles.
- By completing challenges and puzzles, players will unlock valuable knowledge about how organelles contribute to cell processes.
- It’s a fun and engaging way to reinforce the concepts learned in the previous activities while promoting critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
