We started off with a Bellringer that reviewed the organelles found in Prokaryotes that we studied Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of this week:
Then we took a look at diagrams of Eukaryotic Cells (both plants and animals).
Every student received a worksheet containing a data table that listed all of the most common eukaryotic cell organelles by name. A second sheet listed all of their major functions or roles within the cell. Additionally, a mnemonic tool, or memory device, was provided that could help students link each particular cell organelle to its specialized role. Students cut out and pasted, or else simple wrote down the function for each specialized structure. Afterwards, they were to label and color code the structures within their diagrams. Next week, we will have a Quiz over the structures and functions of prokaryotic cells and eukaryotes. (Use the Resources page to study!)
