Perfect for a middle school Life science class. This resource will help you reach and assess your students in a multitude of ways. This resource includes 7 stations with minimal prep involved. There is a printable version, editable PowerPoint version and a Digital Google Slides™ version that will help you save on time and paper!
The 7 types of Cell Characteristics and Cell Theory stations include:
1. Discover – Students will research real-world application of cell organelles.
2. Observe – Students will observe human cheek swabs and onion epidermis to see plant and animal cells.
3. Experiment – Students will explore plant and animal cells with an online simulation.
4. Write – Students will explain their answers to questions in 2-3 sentences.
5. Create – Students will create emoticon analogies of cell organelles.
6. Sort – Students will sort plant and animal cells organelles.
7. Quiz – Students will answer a mix of 8 true/false, multiple choice and short answer questions.
*Each station should take students between 8-10 minutes to complete.*
