Meet the Organelles
Meet the Organelles
Directions:
1) Give each group a copy of slide 3 (animal cell)
and slide 7 (the plant cell). Students will copy
these outlines in their science notebooks.
2) Cut out the organelles and place in an envelope
labeled “Meet the Organelles”
3) Students will place the organelles on each
outline at their desk as they pull them out and
read them. Students will then label them on the
outlines they created in their notebook.
