Meet the Organelles

Meet the Organelles Directions: 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. Cut out the organelles and place in an envelope labeled “Meet the Organelles” 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.

Cesar Cytoplasm: I am the gel-like substance inside the cell membrane that holds all of the organelles!

Cedric the Cell Membrane: I am the protector of the cell. I control what comes in the cell and what leave the cell.
