This was one of the best lessons of the year! Students choose which of the 6 projects they would like to work on for learning the parts of the cell...then I group students based on their interest and they work as a team to complete the project. When finished, I use a museum tour approach to sharing out the projects...I have this for sale as well. Great activity and fun way to learn!
I am excited to use this with my grade 8's for their Cell projects this year. I have only ever had them do models of cells but this project booklet has many more ideas that I feel they would gain more knowledge from. I am not really big into this unit but with this project to present to them I am sure I will become a better teacher of this unit in the future. Thanks for sharing;)
