Cell Membrane Color Sheet and Build a Cell Membrane

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Cell Membrane Color Sheet and Build a Cell Membrane activity also includes:
  • Animal Cell Coloring
  • Build-A-Membrane
  • Join to access all included materials

A cell of another color is still a cell. Pupils color a cell to identify its structures in the fourth segment of a seven-segment series. Groups work together to build a three-dimensional cell membrane segment, which is combined with others to create a large cell.
