1.2 .1-12
The internal membranes of eukaryotic
cells and their importance.
The structure & function of the following
organelles:
 mitochondria;
 endoplasmic
 reticulum (rough and smooth);
ribosomes;
 golgi body;
 lysosomes;
 centrioles;
 chloroplasts;
 vacuoles;
 nucleus; chromatin; nuclear
envelope;
 nucleolus;
 plasmodesmata.
Pre-topic work using Edcanvas on Eukaryotic
cells
1. Storyboard/card sort on how organelles
work together to produce proteins
2. Jigsaw Research work on each
organelle/Group poster work and peer
assessment of results
3. Labelling diagrams
4. Identifying organelles on electron
micrograph.
5. Microscope work to view a range of cells to
include: potato, elodea, spirogyra,
paramecium, cheek cells using simple stains
such as Iodine solution, methylene blue and
dilute glycerine
6. Card matching on organelles function
structure diagram and electron micrographs
7. What is the best organelle in the celldebate. (pdf document)
8. Act out protein synthesis/ making energy
available.
