(General)
Background:
Students should have :
-
an understanding in lab procedures
-
cooperative learning skills working in 4 and/or 2 member teams
-
a working knowledge of using the Internet
-
an introduction to the content material on cell organelles and mitosis.
Criss-Cross Puzzle Background:
-
Students need to enter a large enough number of squares in STEP 2 for their
puzzles to include all
all their word and clue entries. (Have them experiment!)
-
Remind students to keep each word and its clue to one line.
Cell T-shirt Project Background:
-
Students need an inexpensive, white, adult undershirt that is large enough
for them to wear.
-
Using a pencil very lightly have the students draw two large cells
(a plant cell and its
organelles on one side, the animal cell on the other) filling the majority
of the surface area.
-
Specify the organelles you want the students to include.
-
Colors should assist in identifying the organelles. (i.e. chloroplasts
= green; or if blue is selected
to color the vacuole in the plant cell, then it should also be used
for the vacuoles in the animal cell.)
-
Have students insert a piece of cardboard/tag board inside the T-shirt,
then add color using markers
(or other coloring materials).
-
Use as a bulletin board and/or room display. Have CELEBRATE CELL
DAY and have your
students wear their shirt, give presentations to other classes, etc....
