Teaching and enrichment Activities
List Resources and
Materials
 Warm-Up (5 minutes): Scott giving 5 minutes to look over
their Unit 1 Exams
 Begin Unit 2: Cell Structure & Function
 DUE: object representing as s i gn ed o r g an el l e
FU N C TIO N ; Eu k vs . P ro k. C el l P O G IL h an d o u t &
C el l O r gan e l l e C h a rt
 Students with the same organelle will present their
“organelle” and teacher will facilitate a debate, asking
“which one is more important” between 2 organelles at a
time (In-Class Activity Grade).
 Remaining handouts in packet will be graded as an one
“Other” grade in Gradespeed
 Warm-Up (5 minutes)
 Engage: Gummy Bear Osmosis demo
 Engage and Explain: Cell Membrane Bubble activity –
students will create their own cell membrane using
bubblesoap and try to pass a paper clip and/or other objects
through the soap film without popping it. Teacher will
facilitate their understanding of the film = cell membrane
and paperclip = molecule. Graded as “In-Class Activity”
 Warm-Up (5 minutes)
 DUE: Movement through membrane handout
 Engage: Check gummy bear osmosis demo and compare
size changes
 Explain: teacher will lecture on movement through cell
boundaries

Teaching and enrichment Activities
 Warm-Up (5 minutes): Organelle Card Sort
 DUE: microscope handout
 Explore: Students will complete a practical on microscope
use as they work through the Plasmolyzed Onion Lab. They
will record their steps, observations, and
thoughts/conclusions in their Interactive Notebooks.
 Engage: Cell Shrinky Dinks! Students will be given a
quarter sheet of rough shrinky dink paper and instructed to
choose either a plant or an animal cell to draw and color.
They should use the whole quarter sheet and color on the
rough side with either colored pencils or fine point sharpies.
The cell should include at least 10 organelles. (it is
acceptable to print and trace a cell if they don’t like their art
skills). The cell and its organelles should be labeled. Baking
instructions will be sent home with them as homework.
