Instructional Ideas
- Consider performing the living cells play for your whole school to enjoy
- Provide colored pencils for cell labeling activities to help differentiate organelles
Classroom Considerations

- Ensure individuals do not become overwhelmed at the volume of information; grouping the organelles by function (transport, structure, etc.) can lend another point of reference
Pros
- Very thorough in providing a variety of instructional tools from start to finish
- The in-class play is unforgettable for teachers and classmates
- Builds a solid foundation for further learning in Cell Theory
Cons
- None
