Instructional Ideas
- Review organelles of eukaryotic cells and their functions before showing this video
- Ask learners what compartmentalization means to them and write answers on the board; show video and then tweak definition on board
Classroom Considerations
- Resource requires a computer, Internet access, and projection system
- Part 13 in a series of 37
Pros
- Great analogy between Kleenex box and compartmentalization of a cell
- Video does not explore compartmentalization of all organelles, just the mitochondrion and endoplasmic reticulum, so it is not trying to pack in too much information
- Includes a concept map and slideshow
Cons
- None
